Default Apex VS Greddy?

Hi, I have a 94 Civic EX Coupe(d16z6), and I´m thinking to upgrade it with a Turbo kit.
I´m looking for the Greddy TD40H-15G or the Apex 705-H001 Turbo Kit.

Performance on both seems to be good, but im not sure which one is best.

help please?

thanks

although I have no direct experience with it, the Apex looks really really well put together.

But, you cant go wrong with the GReddy system either.

Good luck

apex gives your a ball bearing turbo, greddy doesn't
thats what i know

not much on either one
all i know is you'll run 15's with it or faster

also, i smoked a sohc hatch with greddy turbo and intercooler
with my stock gsr, cold winter nite too i ran 15.0 with it.

apex also cost a lot more compare to greddy.. if you are plannin on rebuilding the engine then i guess go for the apex and boost high and have fun... but if not, i would rather go with a smaller turbo that spools really fast.

For the money on your car i would tell you just to swap in a B18C motor.. you will be faster with that motor stock then turboing your motor on moderate boost. Plus its much less of a hassle and is alot more reliable.. And if u want to go faster after that and go turbo the possiblilties are endless..

take into account the 1000 dollar intercooler you'd want.
i second an engine swap.

like i said before, i burnt a turbo sohc with my stock gsr.
streets and track.
even with a b16 u'll be just as fast those are only 2k
b18c1 are around 2.5k
