Fully Built Turbo B-Series | Is it Worth it? (Cost Breakdown)

[@aboutthatliferacing113]

That sounds about right on the price. I went the same route and said the same thing, BUT I built my engine to learn how to tune and for competition. Thinking back when I started this journey I didn't know anything about tuning, now I know more than the circle of friends I have. They actually come to me for ECU tuning now. The skills and KNOWLEDGE!!!, I gained from it is priceless. I wanted to help myself now I can help others. To be honest that feeling will go away and when you look back at what you built you will appreciate it . Thank you for sharing your journey I look forward to the next build.

[@hoesway6946]

How did u learn about tuning?

[@stevo_sir]

Glad you made this, because there’s tons of people who say “it’s just a turbo kit and that’s it’s” when they never had built one themselves

[@dantet04e]

The experience and knowledge you gained from the project is priceless. Im sure you've gained subs from the build. Youll find 15k is not at all bad for the majority of street builds. Ive spend similar in dsm, Honda, and LS builds. Dont regret it if this is your passion. Its a clean well done build man. Good luck with the channel and whatever you dig into next!

[@jamesthompson9313]

Probably the most helpful car video i’ve watched in a while, your effort doesn’t go unnoticed

In my opinion, 14 K honestly isn’t too bad for a B series build just make sure you really get your bang for your buck and it stays longevity with a couple supporting Mods to last long.

Damn. I spent $23k building an EK Coupe CTR Clone ALL MOTOR. I used all brand new parts from engine bay setup, to full 5 lug suspension Circuit Track build, to all misc stuff. Minus the CTR interior. I agree, its too much money yo spend, but my brothers and I build the car and the memories is priceless.

this is my first time watching one of your videos, but i can tell a lot about your character watching the video, you’re gonna be a successful youtuber tbh keep grinding ✊🏽, i’m currently building a k24 ek coupe but did a whole bunch of research comparing if i should go lsv on boost or k so i’m guessing that’s how i ran across your channel lol definitely gained a subscriber tho 💯

[@802Garage]

Damn, man! I really appreciate your honesty in this. That is a pricey Honda at the end of the day. Definitely feel you on investing money like a baller when your budget needs to be taller. At the same time, I think you have to dive in and have the mindset of fake it 'til you make it on KZbin to an extent. At least you can take pride in knowing you actually did it right! Sure you can turbo a car for $1,000 or so, but how long will it last? Whatever you do, don't sell this car!

I have a built integra. I have a quick little video of it. Our build has been going on for over 3 years. ONLY because we are doing everything by hand as well and we also have to support our family while doing the build lol we hand cleaned every single part. OEM bumpers 😆 to me that’s everything haha . The engine set in my room for over a year. 😂

[@dewaltonlyrestistrash3934]

ITS A BAD ASS BUILD I JUST THINK WRONG CAR TO BUILD AT 350 hp you can get a better car with more hp for less than what you invested on this one . BUT AT THE END OFVTHE DAY ITS YOUR CAR AND UOU DID IT YOUR WAY YOUR STYLE 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I know this comment is super late. Just found your Chanel while searching for differentpeoples builds on an older civic. I think you did an awesome job with the build! Keep up the great work. I would suggest you just keep building car that you want to build for your self and film it. If you honestly have passion and an appreciation for your own build that you wanted to do then it will naturally show and help build your Chanel. F*ck the haters you do you and do your best, in the end it will pay off one way or another

[@Rspsupraturbo]

Don't think of the numbers; while to some it may not be worth it but you made it yours and thats what counts. Sure you can buy the a similar setup for half of what you spend, but thats bought not built. Some people won't ever get to experience the journey it takes from ground up and some won't care for it. This is what's going to make the car special for you, is that you spent the time, effort and money on her. Been down that path and i think its worth it 100% even if its just a b series. #Respect

[@kyledawg5961]

I found your b18 tear down video while looking for a how-to when I started tearing my b18 apart and subscribed immediately! Your videos are entertaining and help inspire me to keep my build going! I decided to build the bottom end and auto to manual swap it myself (may be a bad idea but gotta learn somehow) and it is taking forever. I’m in way more than I planned on spending but at the end of the day it’s about the ride not the destination. All that matters is the joy it did/will bring and everything you learned.

[@LordLoMR2]

I always find it fun reading all the key board warrior comments on how they could have easily built it for much cheaper. But we all know those are the people driving basically stock cars with ebay air filters and mufflers. Building a car right is not cheap. Getting all the right hoses, fittings, bolts, misc gaskets, clamps, pipes, adaptors, etc adds up quick. Then factor in the labor required to put it all together. I know most mechanics charge $100 per hr to work on cars.

[@divinedesign09]

Be proud man you built a monster

[@DomkeBoy]

Been in the Honda game for at least a decade. Always wanted to do a Ls/Vtec Turbo monster the right way. Finally I’ve got my hands on an already properly built longblock. I’m so excited, I don’t even physically possess it yet and I’m plotting on the transmission build. Hah if I didn’t have multiple cars to use it in and extra swap and turbo kit parts I wouldn’t waste my time, but there is a huge catch. I’m trading wrench time so zero money is invested in my end to initially get the longblock (&tones more). Just mileage on my daily. I recently discovered your channel due to my new resurrected craze. Back then I thought, NO WAY could I afford this. Still to this day kinda, but I found a major loophole. I got so many projects I might just finally start my own channel. I’m a 31 year old poor ass Northern Michigan Honda nerd. I’m seasoned for sure with all this stuff, but at times there is still some random “rookie” moments. I can’t believe the views, ect all these little Honda channels reel in. Y’all definitely work hard for it... geez look at Kyle... You sir are 100% paying to play. I hope it eventually comes back around for you man. It’d be cool to meet you, I’m thinking about bringing my car down there for a tune. Do you know RCAutoworks? Same evaluation as my local. He’s an OG.

[@oscargalvan5884]

I like and respect everything you've said about this particular build. I had to sell a turbo k swapped integra making 683 hp and 491 torque for reasons VERY similar to the things you said about your build.

Depends man I have a CRX that I have had people offering me checks for 9000 to 10000 on the spot but I make mine my own style my own way and with its performance to boot. It all depends on what people will pay for something. But yes I agree with you their are many cheap ass ppl that will not want to pay but those people cant even afford a car. I mean our cars are 5000 to 10000 range those people that are cheap should not even think about a car if you cant even afford 5000 bucks. You might as well just find some other form of transportation because a Honda might not be your bet. I mean even RC trucks and cars are like 500 to 1000 for quality ones so I mean seriously!!
