Default SOHC Turbo

I saw a SOHC turbo kit (Custom) on ebay that shows all items being included for buy-it-now

Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742

looks like ONLY thing I will need is a fuel management system via bluebox or hondata to make this thing run? is it missing any charge piping, etc?


and other accessories i would look inot, but not necessary yet: intercooler, turbo timer, blow-off valve.

Am i correct?......someone please give me an insight. I have a 98 civic ex. THANKS!

Seems to be missing the charge piping only and fuel management (uberdata/turboedit, fmu, vafc, hondata or whatever your choice).
You'll also have to put an oil return in your oil pan.
You don't need a turbo timer.

Since you havent been on HondaTech long enough to know....

Stone Mountain Racing
Stone Racing
SS Autocrome
Etc....

These are the turbo kits that are all over ebay. They all suck. They all use a terrible manifold that almost always breaks and has shitty craftsmanship. I've seen over 10 people have their Stone turbos blow out within a couple of weeks. The link you posted is a very incomplete turbo kit.

In the turbo honda world you ussually get what you pay for.

Now for the love of god, search

You'll need to fab charge pipe or buy a kit. That manifold is an absolute piece of **** (I know I have one). You'll need some injectors and some way to control them as well as an intercooler. It also says that the kit comes with a T25 and that is not what is pictured. Honestly, I would not spend the money on that setup.
