- Fully Built Turbo B-Series | Is it Worth it? (Cost Breakdown)
Have you ever wondered how much it costs to fully build a Honda LS VTEC motor and also turbocharge it? Well, today is your lucky day because I take on the roll of the sacrificial lamb. Before building my motor, I had no idea how much it would actually cost. I sent it anyway. It ended up costing WAY more than expected. If you would like to learn through me, please enjoy the video. Was it worth it? Maybe. You're going to have to watch until the end to find out :)

I know this doesn't have a lot to do with the overpriced instant pot but Sam Raimi's Spiderman 2 is the most realistic and intense iteration.
Where has this comment been all my life?
Damn bro, didnt realize logic was into cars.
I laughed a little to much at this 😂😂
In case you didn't want to watch the whole thing, the total price of the build was zero dollars because Mark hooked him up with the car.
Bro I wish.
haha
@@boosted_john cool video man
Your production quality is through the roof. You definitely deserve what's coming to you, and I think we're all looking forward to it :)
Dang son! That’s a lot of money into the build! But you didn’t factor in the people you met and relationships you built for life.
facts
That's what really matters....
Yes !
Yes usually the first build is expensive the second and third should be cheaper now that he has some skills, relationships and knowledge
You made me feel better about how much I’ve spent on my project car 😂😂
neta 😂😂
Amen 😭
Same shit breh. Glad to know you aren't alone.
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!
Probably the most helpful car video i’ve watched in a while, your effort doesn’t go unnoticed
Bro i glad there are up coming gearheads like yourself understanding how car work and working on your car. You are a dying breed. I subbed.
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.
How did u learn about tuning?
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. Can’t wait to see more content!🤙🏼
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 💯
Your build was super worth it man! People like me wish I had the time or place to build something like this. It wasn’t for nothing because I’m watching your video and just motivates me to follow what I want to do and videos like this really help make that easier.
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
Love your channel man...found it when I looked up a b18 engine tear down and yours popped up. Ever since I’ve binged all your videos and loo lm forward to new content...keep up the good work brotha!
Thank you!
Bro. You’re gonna make it keep your head up. You’re humble as hell and are able to reflect back on what you did and mistakes you made and that’s some grown man shit. You got solid content just keep posting videos 👍
You have really inspired me and i am on a LS/vtec building mission lol ...thanks for all your hard work
I think it's worth it. You had fun, you got content, you got wow factor, you learned a bunch, it was enjoyable to watch, and your boosted man. BoostedJohn
Timothy Strunk 🤝
There are no mistakes in life, just opportunities to learn and do better. It’s great that you were able to share your journey and how you felt about it. You will help a lot of people. Great video. Xoxo 🤗💕
🥰
Keep up the good work. It's all a part of the game. You'll get there one day for sure big hope for you in the near future
1992 EG Civic Hatch with an LSVTEC here. Your build inspires to keep going even tho my car has so many problems lol. I knew that going in & I'm excited what it'll be like a year from now or even 3. Definitely will need your channel along the way bro.
Never give up on your build. Trust me you'll regret it. New subscriber here! Keep it up man 👊🏼
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 have a K20 08 Si and I appreciate all the honesty and realism. Never seen your videos before and really enjoyed this one.
Ayyy! My first car on the channel was a K20 07 Si. I miss that car man.
Keep grinding you have the personality to make a great channel. Don’t GIVE UP!!!!!
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 CZcams 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!
@Adam Rahimi Eyyy! Not much gotta get out in the garage and work more. :D
I like how you were honest at the end. That's good feedback to me
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.
Dude don’t even worry about subs this is the first vid I watched of you and already I can tell ur gonna be big don’t sweat it
Lmaooo bud, race for money that’s how u get it back😂😂😭😭😭
Write that down
People won't race for money lol
@@FranciscoGarcia-rg5nj You clearly don't race.
Bunch of ass betters out here
@@FranciscoGarcia-rg5nj you only know scrubs!
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.
Wow. This is amazing. I am glad I found this contact! Keep it up!🤘
Can't be sour about it. Money comes and goes live life. You built something.
Bro I have been watching you when you had less than 100 subscribers, I can’t wait for your channel to grow!
Wow that’s actually so awesome. You’re a tru OG.
New subscriber here watching all the way from California love your contents and thanks for making those videos. Don’t give!!! Keep on building
Found you on auto play after cleetus and boostedboiz on my lunch break! Subscribed!
I like you because you’re so humble 👍
Keep your chin up, if you didn’t make this type of build, I would never found your YT channel.
New Sub here. Amazing setup! I understand where you are coming from (dumping money into a car with the least amount of corners cut) I respect it👍🏽👍🏽
nice to see another small youtuber that keeps it real!
Appreciate all the vids you’ve made
Hey bro! I respect your advice... You have taught me many things! Thank you bro
Hey this is a sweet build, I hope the CZcams dilemma of building your car for views doesn’t take away from your enjoyment of this awesome car you’ve built. I hope this channel grows as you want it to but even if it doesn’t, you’ve got something great to show for it. And that’s all that matters.
Enjoyed watching this whole build man; you’ve definitely gotten me even more pumped to build out my new car(2011 335xi which was how I originally found your channel haha). Not sure I’ve got the balls to do a full build like you did yet but Mad respect for you doing everything on this car. No doubt you’ll be reaping the CZcams benefits in no time🔥
Ian Edgecomb 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Is the 335xi a stick?
The end of this video earned you a new subscriber 🙏🏽
Dude, thank you for this. So needed.
Dang, I know looking at the numbers can be a bummer. But you made a build ride. Enjoy, keep it going.
I love the videos and the car. I honestly just enjoy watching you and your videos. I enjoy the way you produce your content and edit your videos!
Thank you! Have you been subbed for a while or did you recently find my channel?
Boosted John I’ve been subscribed for 7 months now I watched your engine tear down video and it was so satisfying I started watching more of your videos and I really enjoy them!
Great Update Bro Keep it up👍🏼
Honda Life
This is exactly what I needed to see
Hey brother, you built an unreal eg and learned a lot in the process. Sure you could have done a few different projects for more videos but as your friend said in the reaction video "you built the car you wanted". Keep up the good work and that sub count will only continue to grow!
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
Great build and awesome video for teaching us on how it really is for building a car financially.
Nice 👍🏽 glad you added it up for us all bro I’m doing an eg hatch build and I’m on a budget I’ll appreciate you pricing everything so I can navigate it for myself an know what I’m getting into . 💯
2 years late but great video dude. inspiration for my crv build. Keep up the good work!!
If I could get all the money I put into my Evo back in the bank I would do it in a heart beat.
I didn't know trump drove an evo, I figured he was more a honda guy...but seriously that sucks and is why part of me doesn't want to upgrade my engine and turbo....also id have to put it back to stock every 2 years cause california sucks smelly balls
Love transparency videos like this.
I love the low $ builds, I finally cracked $1000 on my EK project. But I recycled alot of parts from past builds. If I add that in there... well, I don't want to think about it.
I thought your name was Glizzy Motorsports for a second and I was like LOL.
I have a prelude that I’ve spent similar amounts of money on and I’m in the same boat as you. Stay positive and keep grinding.
John! This build is and will always be so sick, and inspires me to do more on my b18 Del Sol. I'm sure with the all time you've put into it (and the $) and maybe a sponsorship from Sarpino's, you'll hitting the numbers you've been waiting for
Cheers :)
Oh am working on a b16 del sol myself too, its good to know there is some love for the sol out there , i just sold my s2000 last year and i miss driving with the top down, good luck with ur build buddy 👍🏼
1st of your videos I get to watch.. gotchu a sub and like bro
Watching you build this honda makes me want to work on mine
I definitely enjoy your videos it's amazing builds u have done.i have a b18 nonvtec ima try to take it to 400hp.I already subscribed to keep watching your videos.
Thinking of starting my own CZcams channel hmmm I really love how the car community is.
You randomly showed up in my recommended videos I’d like to show off my build too
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. 😂
Super clean content. You have a new subscriber !
Thank you very much for this video. It really gives you perspective on how much it really costs.
Glad it was helpful!
Well, at least you got a killer deal on the s300! Great video that most people wouldn't do. Cheers!
Great video man!
John,
First, I like the channel! The build was great!
Secondly, every car guy out there feels your pain on this. Our passion is not cheap, and trying to make content about building a car is expensive over a short period of time.
Take this learning experience and turn it into something great for your channel. Creative ways to modify cars reliably on a budget and for a purpose are great videos to watch.
Keep up the awesome work and try to let go of the disappointment. But, also try to spend less next time for your own sanity! 🙂
Thanks for all the info!
I feel you man, nothing is cheap! I have a CRX with H22 and within 6months I was already over my budget.
For a basically new car. Its not as bad as he's making it seem. Great build, great vid its inspiring me to build my 4 door teggy
I wish I can rebuild a car like this, I want to learn but don't know where I can get the best practice and resources. You are lucky to have a chance like this for your car project. Nice video. I like it.
Sub'd. I really like this video because I can tell you know what you're talking about. Nice job.
Good yung man! Just enjoy the process mate
Be proud man you built a monster
keep up the good wotk!
man what a build I'm a motorcycle type of guy but this was great to follow. You cant really put a price on happy the car is amazing truthfully had to sub
Sick build Bro!! New sub!
Subbed and liked. Good video bub. Keep it up!
Dang 14k. That’s wat I spend on a Rhd k swap car that I got now. Never say is not worth it cuz look how much knowledge u got now cuz of it. Deff support u keep it up
Awesome video.
I think the content was great, and you learned a lot. I agree you could have gone another route but you live and learn
Very true!
The numbers may not add up now but you've definitely reaped a reward that few others have. Applied knowledge, real-world experience, connections (both in person and online), etc. all valuable and worth the $$. Not to mention after a video is produced it becomes passive income; Working for you in the background while you plan to make moves for the future. Nice work John!
Also just Google images "Amazon 1999" lotta good things start with super humble, yet still ambitious, motivated moves.
I appreciate this comment a lot. Thank you.
@@boosted_john Gochu' man!
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. Regardless, you've built an amazing machine keep up the hard wor. You're positive business style approach towards the youtube world will pay off one day.
It would take someone holding me at gun point to separate me from my build lol.
That dry humor is gold
Very much respect my friend.
Get this man 500k subs already
Bump
You live and learn you will get there.
Totally worth it, a reliable fast car built by you. Just keep grinding and you will be a success! Is that $400 tune a friendly price or regular price?
Hella rad man.....looking on swapping my civic but idk bout building it lol 😆 thanks for all the info!
Great build man! I hope you get a Corvette or Miata next!
Bro u got me as a subscriber 👍🏽
Dope build, dope driver.
Great video as always 💪🏾🤘🏾, and unfortunately i have to make this kinda of video (Again) and I’ve been holding off on it 😭😂, i think my total would be just as much as yours 😭 and that’s without out my stock motor turbo build lol , but you’ve been growing since the last time I’ve commented keep it up bro 🔥🙏🏾
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
I think the built is worth every penny. Experience sensation and bond for life. I have an EG Si that I bought in 2005. I will keep for as long as I live. Pr3 head with b18a1 black 12:1 compression ratio. Coil over . I did buy original parts for lower control arm, rear etc
Since I got my ek sedan about 9 months ago, I've learned that these old Hondas are learning experiences, mines currently apart bc I put the wrong intake mani gasket on doing the all the heads gaskets and seals, everytime we work on it we are making mistakes, spending too much, but having fun and learning, and I think that's what it's about, someone said you wouldn't ask for growing advice from a farmer whos never lost a crop, because the whole time he's been pretty lucky
Great video thanks you.
Hey man new sub, you're doing well, im 8months and 12-15k(not including car purchase) into an ek boosted rod/piston k swap build and still need motor/tranny assembly,tune and the misc. Temporarily low boost 480-500whp/350-400wtq on race e98 is goal till i do bigger injectors,twin disc.
