I'll try to keep this short. My brother has a 93 civic Si. We will be turboing this soon with the greddy kit. Our stage one of the install includes: Kit, Intercooler, BOV, and flange. This will hopefully get us up and running. We will be utilizing the blue box. We will stay at 5.5 psi for a while until we are sure everything is kosher. Are we on the right track? What should be on our list next? We will be getting EGT, A/F, and boost guages, brake pads, 3" exhaust and cat, 310cc injectors, elec. boost controller, Turbo cam as budget allows. Eventually going Hondata as boost levels get higher. Any help or suggestions? Are we forgetting something? Thanks

 

Sounds like your doing fine. I wouldn't waste any money of a turbo cam though.

 

Your going to need a clutch soon to handle those boosted shifts. The second stage to my buildup is the hondata w/440's. Good luck and have fun bro! And what turbocoupe said, not a lot of people recommend using different camshafts.

5.5psi you really don't have much to worry about, especially blowing the motor. Also at that psi your stock clutch will be fine. I run 7-10psi and I'm still on my stock clutch (knock on wood). The only thing I might add is a FPR and a fuel rail for better flow but they are not necessary until you hit those higher psi levels.

 

Thank you for the responses. The cam would be a Crower turbo grind. Anyone with experience with this cam? Your help and opinions are greatly appreciated.
