ok, then here is what you CAN do on a budget. either make your own manifold as i stated(i can help you out), or buy a cheap OBX manifold or something similar on Ebay that will most likely crack later unless you build some sweet support brackets to take the weight of the turbo. then get a Saab t3 or a thunderbird turbo-coupe t3-60trim from a junkyard. get a tial WG from hybrid for around $200, and make your own downpipe from Ebay mandrel bends. you can buy the flanges at Autozone for $10. get one of those “universal intercooler piping kits” from ebay in 2.5". pick up a chip-able ECU and talk to Slomies about using his chip burner and tuning software. i think he even has some base maps on Crome or Uberdata or something.

if you do all of this you should get it done cheaper than $1200. please tell me you have done the “auto-tensioner fix” on your h22. if not spend the $150 and do that first

thanks for the help and info bro i appreciate it. i havent done the manual tensioner swap yet, i have to replace the water pump due to a bad o-ring gasket but i planned on doing the conversion when i change the pump and timing belt

:edit: i might take you up on helping me with a manifold 😃
