i'm going to be purchasing a 2000 civic si and am going to turbocharge it but i need help finding a good kit for a descent price. i'm not looking for anything big, just something to make it quick but still daily driveable. any info is appreciated. thanks.

 

do you want a whole kit or are you talking about peicing one together?

 

Locally I've seen good results with the greddy kit. One is pushing 7.5 PSI, and on slicks he ran 8.1@84MPH (1/8th) Others have made great HP numbers with solid tuning.

 

i'm looking to find a complete kit and the thing about the greddy kit is that it doesnt come with an intercooler and it comes with a small turbo compared to the other ones i've seen. and the other ones i've seen also come with some sort of fmu

 

The Greddy has 310cc(at least for the tegs) injectors and the blue box instead. For a mild setup the Greddy would be perfect it sounds like... It's pretty $$$ for what you get though, you can add an intercooler and BOV but it all adds up

yes, i've looked at the greddy kit and it seems like a descent kit, but it comes with a t28 mitsubishi turbo where as the other ones i've seen come with the t3/t4 hybrid for the same price. and the greddy kit is roughly 3000 without an intercooler or bov and thats can be close to another 1000 right there. i was wondering what kits people have installed on their si's and what their experiences are. thanks for the help

 

You have way too many options.

Greddy
Drag
RevHard
Full Race
Super-T
MaxRev

And yes I am forgetting some.

 

hmmm well the cheapest way to go is definately by peicing it together. You can cut a grand or more by doing it that way. I hear good things from Greddy, but personally I'll be peicing mine.

 

If you go junkyard turbo, otherwise it is not cheaper to piece it together if you use quality parts and do it all properly
