Turbo
 

I'm thinking about buying a Turbo for a 00 SI. Everyone talks about greddy's so i went to greddy.com and it's kits were $3k!!! I come i hear about $1.5k? What's the difference? Also, along with a turbo, what else do i have to do to the car? and how much is that?

go with the drag, greddy isn't a good kit IMO, he's right though, we do have an FI forum

Re: Turbo (DragIIcivic)
 

what does IMO mean? and greddy isn't good? drag cost more.

Re: Turbo (Civic Hatch Boy)
 

IMO short for "in my opinion" wat is all this shit about greddy sux? greddy is bangin and all of u know it. they offer a dope turbo kit for integras and civics for a good price.

I dont know where that came from, but I love my Greddy kit and besides the drag kit isnt so great either for 1. their manifolds have a bad history of cracking, 2. they come with a shitty delta WG 3. the intercooler is chinsy. IF i were you id go with a Rev Hard kit or build yourself a custom one. start with a manifold get a nice tial wastegate, buy a nice intercoolr with a nice thick core. etc etc. Good Luck, dragIIcivic what do you run at track??? if you have run?? just curious, laaater

O.K. nobody is answering his question. The turbo that you are hearing costs 1,500 bucks is the greddy kit for the SOHC civics. It is alot cheaper than the DOHC greddy turbo kit which is about three grand. Hehehe, somedays it can actually be good to have a SOHC!!! http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emwink.gif

Im going to add..

The SI kit for $3000 also comes with an intercooler, where as the $1500 kit doesn't (I believe)

The drag is a complete kit...and makes FAR more power than the greddy, and it also offers the most potential for upgrading....ever seen someone running 11's w/ a stock greddy turbo??

I have several friends running 11's w/ the stock drag turbo...the t3/t4 is just a better turbo for our cars...

Re: Turbo (DragIIcivic)
 

Drag II, does he have his engine built? There are several advantages to having a the TD4 turbo for a SOHC: the turbo itself spools up alot quicker than a larger turbo, you can run stock boost without having to build the bottom end of your engine, you don't HAVE to run an intercooler, but is highly recommended, and its fairly cheap. I'ts a good street turbo, but its too small to get you into really low ET's, like Drag II said. The larger turbo kits will get you more power, but to get there on a D16, you'll have to build that bottom end to handle more boost. This means more $$$$. It all comes down to what you want and how much your willing to spend. The larger turbo kits are a better choice if you want really low 1/4 mile times, and plan to build your engine in the future. If you just want a quick street car to catch a few unsuspecting victims off guard the Greddy might suit you? So, which is it? King of the track/V8 killer or street warrior/family sedan killer? http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/h-emblem4.gif

Re: Turbo (civic_hatch_gurl)
 

As I said in another post...custom is good only if you've got a lot of time to look for parts and the tools to bend and shape them to fit your car...not good for the novice and hard to get support if something goes wrong.... I'd say spending $3k to $4k on a bolt on kit and then tuning it later is the best way to go...
