to be cheap i'll suggest (if you have f22aX engine) yo pick a dsm manifold... then make yourself a t3 adapter... then take a saab, volvo turbo or in the best case... a thunderbird t3, .60/.48... then pick up a dsm bov... get a CCA (custom coach intercooler... from the groupbuy on homemadeturbo.com sales section)
get some 450cc injctors (dsm, or rx7) get a chipped p06... then make your custom piping using 2.5" mandrel bend...
make a 3" dowpipe
get a boost gauge and oil pressure gauge on ebay
get your vacuum line and coupler from homedepot...
get an oiline kit from stealthmodeperformance.com
get a new clutch from lsdmotorsports.com
get all your gasket/bolt/misc stuff from you local honda dealer...
sorry ... i'm fucking drunk -
huh? If you want cheap, go all dsm turbo but you'll suffer from creeping and boost cut-off. And you probbly don't want a .60/.48 as that will be either too small of a turbine or compressor housing. And rx7 never had 450cc(only dsm)....word of advice, the rx7 460cc injectors doesn't work at all(I know, I tried) and go with dsm 450cc black top injectors and your set. If money wasn't a problem, I'd go with a t3 60 trim turbo as many has said it work well on the cb7's, or do what I did and bought a cheap turbo and got a smaller turbine housing to match where I want to be.Originally posted by labatt50Comment

heh just get anothe rmanifold slap a t3/t turbo on it like i did get a tial38mm wastegate and some good chargepipes from me and last but not least. Then get the bov from ebay so i can weld it on there then that should be it get the intercooler from johnnyracer.comComment

Easy, labatt50 knows his stuff here. Even when drunk, suprisingly.Originally posted by 92HondaEX
1. The Thunderbird turbos are .60 turbine and .48 compressor. Thats nice for an entry level kit. The DSM turbos are much smaller than this!
2.There are 2 types of RX7 injectors. The high impedence red tops and the low impedence black tops. Our CB7s need the black ones.
3. As for the coupler advice, reinforced silicon only. That other stuff tears easily.
4. DSM kits can have boost creep avoided with a large diameter downpipe as well as a large diameter O2 housing.
5. Our turbo bible is set to release some time today. I am still working on this with MRX. Stay tuned.Last edited by KillerCam282; 01-15-2006, 09:25 AM.Comment

The infamous tan tops...I forgot thats the color. Good find. The actual WG problem is the flapper, not the actuator. It needs a bigger exhaust to vent into.Comment

That what I meant by WG.....maybe you should include that chart in your turbo bible, would be useful...Originally posted by AcclipseH23Comment

thanks for the help so far..
ok, so what year of thunderbird would i want to pull the turbo out of, and would i grab the manifold from what year of eclipse, or would a different one be betterrollin on em twankiezComment

pull the manifold from any 1st or 2nd gen eclipse/talon, I've heard that the 1st gen have a tendency to crack easy, so yea, get a 2nd gen.
1st gen eclipse/talon:
2nd Gen:

Well, if you got the dsm mani(which is fine, but you'll need to do some work to make it fit) you'll still need an adaptor that goes from the circol with 4 bolts to the rectangular with 4 bolts pattern...I saw some made by SSAC for like 40 or 50 bucks. I think it's better to go get a nice t3 mani...Originally posted by 92_accord_f20aComment

so what year car and model would the t3 mani come off, and would the thunderbird turbo be good, what year thunderbird would i be looking for?rollin on em twankiezComment

to get a t3 manifold, you gota go custom, which means go look for someone to make you it. homemadeturbo.com is a good place for that, you can get a quality log style mani for around 200.Originally posted by 92_accord_f20a
but yea dude, if you want cheap, then just go with a full dsm set up. Get a big 16g, 2nd gen manifold, 1st gen bov, cca intercooler(from hmt), oil lines from stealthmodeperformance.com, charge pipes from sparkle, couplers from home depot, and all your tuning accesories from xenocron.com(chipped p06, rom burner.etc....).
that cheap^^ imo.
