Re: Honda B-series turbo kits
The best option is to piece one together and do a Hondata for engine management and bigger fuel injectors.
The Turbonetics kit isn't too bad, but most kits use some kind of halfass way to do fuel and timing control(if at all). The Turbonetics kit uses an Aquamist additional injector controller setup to add fuel by having 2 fuel injectors spray into the upper intercooler pipe. It is somewhat tunable with that box. It also uses an MSD BTM to do timing retard versus boost pressure. This type of setup is no where near as elegant as a Hondata or AEM EMS, but it is actually one of the more complete setups as far as Honda turbo kits go. A lot of them just use an FMU, which isn't tuneable without swapping discs and nothing for timing retard. The turbonetics kit uses a decent size turbo.
The Edelbrock kit is okay, it uses additional injectors on the back of the supplied intake manifold to supply fuel. The fuel delivery to those injectors and timing are controlled by a Link systems box. The box isn't reprogrammable without purchasing a bunch of other hardware and software. I have done conversions to Hondata on cars with that kit before, when they wanted more boost/tunability. The turbo that I have seen with that kit is a bit on the small side and internally gated.
