A friend of mine is interested in installing a turbo on his CRV. We all know custom is the way to go, but he would prefer an actual 'kit.' Does anyone have kits available for this set up? Or at least a manifold and downpipe available for the actual CRV?

 

greddy makes a kit i think. but who would want greddy anyway.

 

AWD y0

 

Should be the same as regular old LS kit...with some possible modification for the charge pipe at the intake manifold.

I saw one at E-town before--- definetly very cool!!

 

There is a girl I beleive who posts here on Ht sometimes in the crv section who has a turbo crv. I think h=she posts here.

I dunno, Dave. A friend had one he bought "used" (read: new, never installed) for $800, we did something else for fuel controls than the Gay Box, he was pulling LS1's gently at 8 psi.

Met another guy got his for SOHC Civic kit for $1100, stuck it on a 90 hatchcrap w/ D16A6, and after doing the head and general tweaking of the kit (ditching the Gay Box) was making 240 whp at 15 psi, turning 12.5's.

They make a great kit, it's just not the ***** to the wall kit the power junkies prefer. I like the quality I've seen, and for an honest bump in power from someone worried about hurting their car with too much boost, or for your gf's car, well, it's pretty decent. Especially with what one can be had for if you shop a little.

 

&lt;-217whp on a stock D16Y8 + GReddy..

Nobody said you're going to win dyno wars with it, but there's no doubt about it that for the money, you can't beat the quality and effectivness of a GReddy kit.

 

edit: repost... see below.

 

ding ding ding.. here's our race project sitting at the pound .. long story.... going for the fastest crv in the nation. hahaha.....
as for the specs. this was a custom job. just parts mixed and matched from a turbonetics kit for a civic. that's all i can say.

 

That's a sweet crv

 

is that crv quick?

 

That CRV looks sweet, but I wonder if the tranny can hold up if it is an AWD?

 

yeah, we have to work on the tranny.. plus, the clutch is starting to give already.. time for a twin disc

 

Whoa, I never saw that thing at the Chicago meets!!

Nice.
