Turbo b18C Help
Well I know Im new to this but I went ahead and ordered the engine yesterday. I want to get some boost in there but through all the kits Ive looked at Im not sure wich one is right for me. Maybe you honda folk can help me, heres what I am looking for. I want to keep my A/C for sure, I want to be able to drive this car everyday with no questions asked, and I want to make about 250+ hp. I know thats pretty vauge but this is going to be my daily driver. Now I need your help with the FI. Ive looked at the greddy kit (18g), the Rev Hard (no paticular stage), and the drag kit. For what I am looking for what would you recommend? Also the engine is something that needs to be addressed. With the goals I am looking for will I need to upgrade the internals? Or would it just be a good idea? Ive been researching alot these past couple days and Ive picked alot up but I still need alot of help because this project will be coming together this winter. Thanks for looking and I hope I can get this all figured out. Thanks in advance for the help

I would get Rev Hard over Drag. You will be able to keep ur ac and u dont have to upgrade internals. Its a good kit and u can produce more power later. I hope this helps.

Looking at the Rev Hard site I see that the stage two kit improves Hp/Torque +120/285 ft/lbs. That is damn impressive. So with this turbo kit I am looking at around 290hp. I like the sound of that. Any other insight??

Re: (libila)
for the price of the stage 2 kit, you're near the price of the full-race kit ($3,899). i would recommend a custom kit (picking all the parts individually), but if you're getting a prefabbed kit, full-race is a great kit at a very good price. The kit on their site isn't compatible with AC, but they do make a manifold that you can keep the AC with. they might let you swap that manifold in with the rest of the kit for a little higher of a price (as the manifold is slightly more). check it out.. http://www.full-race.com

That kit is impressive but I am looking for something simple and totaly streetable, not all out racer. A custom kit had crossed my mind but in the long run I think a pre-fab kit will be easier. And from the looks of it I can keep my A/C with the stage 2, its the 88-91 civics and crxs along with the 90-93 integras that have to remove it.
