Im currently in the market for a 14b swap on my 2g and was wondering what I would need for a homemade install kit. I searched for a list, but nothing really helped. Anyone make a homemade install kit before? I was thinking Ill just need the J-pipe, then get all of the fittings and lines. Ive heard of people making them for ~$30 instead of getting them for $160+
 
Here you go, everything you need to know thanks to another helpful dsmer.

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92558

here is an actual list

1g j-pipe & gasket
stainless steel oil feed line (recommend buying this)
a dremel to widen out the holes on the stock oil return line (if your not using a 1g oil return line)

1g cooland feed and return lines (optional, can also just bend your lines)
1g oil return line (optional, wouldnt have to dremel out holes on stock one)

*your gong to have to fab some kind of hosing to connect your j-pipe to your intercooler piping, this is dependant upon your piping setup.

So if you price this out your looking at
j-pipe=25 bucks on ebay
oil feed line= 50 bucks shipped from most places
gaskets (oil only)= 15 bucks from most places (i looked mine up on extremepsi.com
some kind of fabrication to get j-pipe to piping= ?this would depend on setupd?

so altogether thats 90 bucks not including whatever you have to rig up to get the j-pipe to the other piping. I would guess you would be done for around 125 after it is all said and done. If you have access to a junk yard you may be able to get the j-pipe cheaper.

and at last whatever gaskets you need. (at least oil gaskets, sometimes i reuse the metal ones.)
