[Alex EX]

are you guys even adding labor cost?

[bresk8r87]

what labor? who had a shop install their kit?

[ChroNicBoosT]

Everythin under my hood was fully designed and fabbed in mine and my friends' backyards/garages. And installed multiple times as the engine has been removed and/or swapped for one reason or another about 3 times.

Oh and i would add at leeaasstt another$1000 to my bill, so more like $4500-5000, but that additional cash is parts turbo related that are going specifically on my full build project, but those details wont be disclosed till a later date which has yet to be set. The extra cash includes a equal length stainless mani. kit and new higher cc injectors and such... this doesnt include the rest of the $$ going into the motor/trans alone...

[d112crzy]

300!! i only have a wideband and a chip burner so far!! woo!!

[westsideaccord]

I will contribute:
Another backyard build!
fmic $225
piping $50
injectors, turbo and smic that I threw in shed, along with o2 housing $60
chipped ecu after duty shipping and the orig cost $225
toshiba satelite laptop with pentium 3 XP and no internet (used) $150
chip burner from a fellow cb7 member $30 (didnt work)
new chip burner $25 irony!
second turbo $60
rebuild kit (went to waste) $125
chips x 3 only two work and only 1 is reprogrammable! $50 all said and done!
Custom misc. oil feed and return lines $100
two good engines blown up $500
rebuild $500 (everything except pistons rods and wrist pins) and bros help for rebuild $150
also various fluids and such $100
friends dad welding up all charge pipes and helping me fit them, traded some cat litter I get for free from work!!! $0
switched to synthetic oil since rebuild and also switched to premium gas OUCH way more expensive.
Oil pressure gauge $30
boost gauge $65
DIY oil catch can $25
BoV (stock metal dsm) $30
Home made exhaust. Thanks to access Dv8's welder! Free!
Total:3090+/- couldve been done for alot cheaper If I knew what I was doing the first time. But I am a trial and error type of guy! 1500 or so wasted on crap but still better than a "turbo kit" that barely increases the whp to 150!
Knowledge = priceless or more than I can afford anyway~
almost doubling HP = $3000 lol
Showing everyone(especially naysayers) that, thanks to cb7 tuners, I could turbo my accord therefore the fastest Accord here in lethbridge to date, also the fastest autocrosser cb7. = Priceless
Time spent on project cb7, 2 years 6 months!

[92ex]

[h22sparkle]
