Turbo kit for an EX
guys i just got a 98 civic coupe ex
its pretty much stock
my goal is to get a turbo set up that can get me to 205 to 210 to the wheels.
but this is also my daily drive so i want to have something reliable.
if you guys coupld please recomend me a good and not so expensive kit.
do you think i can reach 200 to the wheels with the ex engine (127hp i thinik)

Re: Turbo kit for an EX (Eg2-del sol)
it would be alot cheaper to do a custom kit..But the edelbrock kit with different fuel manangement could get you to 200whp,,but that kit is not cheap...

agreed. see if you can find some used parts to get a majority of the setup. here's an example of how cheap it can be to boost EFFECTIVELY/SAFELY(IE: no pvc piping junkyard BS):
Greddy manifoild turbo and DP-400(here)
sre piping - 150(from ebay)
mod piping to fit your specific app(the sre piping is made for a pretty small IC...25" max
)-50
JRC 5" IC - 75 (here)
Vortech BOV- 100(hookup from a local shop)
used rc 310s - 130 (here)
good manual boost controller -75
ARP head studs- 100(pretty much required if you want to go past 180whp)
tuning-250
that should be able to accomate your goal of 200whp
some other things you could do to get to that level easier and safer is custom make a 3" DP with a full 3" exhaust, zex cam and valvetrain and of course rods/pistons
