How difficult is the installation process? If I take it to a mechanic, how much labor will they charge or should charge?

 

you will have to pull off the blower in order to install the injectors.. and the FTC has to be wired in... gadget from www.gadgetonline.com is the co-owner of URD.. he sends along instructions on how to install everything...

 

I am 99% sure that I am not going to install them myself. I was hoping a garage could do the work in a hour or so.$$

 

haha take the bed bolts off to replace the fuel pump in the tank.. take off the blower... change the injectors, splice the ftc... your looking at a 4-5 hour job bro

 

I was trying to keep it around 1K.

 

your always gonna wanna spend a certain amount.. but it will be more...

S/C $2399 shipped
LSD $247 shipped
Boost Gauge C2 $200 shipped

labor on s/c $560
labor on lsd $360 plus parts
labor on gauge $160 (took mechanic longer because it was an electric not mechanical)

and after tax.. about $4,000... all that for 7lbs, better traction, and a pirty blue light...

if you mean 1K for everthing. urd kit and labor.. probly not gonna happen... you could do the walbro fuel pump yourself... and the injectors too.. just taking off the s/c is a pain in the ass.. u need new TB gaskets.. and your probly gonna need a new gasket to seal the s/c to the engine...

 

It is mechanic all the way for me on this one. I just hope they know what they're doing. It should be under 1100$.

 

So, do I get to take it for a drive when you are all done? I'd gladly come to Greenwood!

 

i wouldnt take it to your local garage man.. find a buddy or someone close with knowledge of your motor and stuff...

 

CTB- I will be in Charleston most of the time in the near future but will be back in GWD every other week. AFP-- The garage guy is a friend. I doubt he has ever done this job but he shouldn't have a problem. Should he??? He was Honda's top mechanic for over a decade in NY before moving back south. If you knew any of my buddies, you wouldn't let them change your oil.

 

well those honda engines arent really as hard to work on compared to the 5VZ.. but i guess a motor is a motor when it comes to simple shizz like injectors n stuff... but like i said.. the s/c is going to be the biggest pain in the ass ever... but everything else should go smooth like a baby's ass... you gonna have it dyno tuned after the install??? let me know what kinda numbers your putting out... also let me know about your egt's... thanks

pip

 

I am taking that as if I have the S/C installed already, and have to take it off, I'll need new gaskets?
BTW where in NJ do you live? Wanna help me with my URD kit one day
It was worth a shot
