if u wanna go cheap, get a civic hf mainifold (also came off 92-95 civics, dx, vx, cx i think) buy a t-25 turbo from 2nd gen eclipses (heard the 14b from 1st gen eclipses fit the hf mainifold too, dont quote me on this), adapter plate (find off the net), starion intercooler (find off the net), vafc hack, 1st gen eclipse "blue" fuel injectors, resistors for fuel injector wiring, oil lines for turbo, custom downpipe, custom piping for intecooler, BOV, and thats about it i think. this kit can cost less than $1k. u should be in the 14's with this setup ( not sure yet, havent tooken my bros car on the track yet) goodluck!!!

or if you want to spend the money, go with the greddy kit with intercooler and bov. Only drawback is that the blue box could only get you so far.

Reach, search, and research, then put together a custom kit. I didn't know a damn thing about turbos a couple of years ago, but I put together a custom setup for less than a kit and made great power.

A lot of people are going this route these days..

Greddy makes a pretty nice kit for the ex. My boy has had this kit on his car for about 14 months and it still runs good. His best time is like 14.5. Not very fast but very respectable from 7-8 psi on the SOHC. If you have the money id swap in a B-series motor over the ex turbo.

Greddy doesint make a turbo kit for 96 -00 EX i looked ..........dont quote me on this but if im wrong someone give me the site and a price that you have seen one on...........thanks

the greddy 92-95 will fit but it has to be slightly moded. the O2 sensor has to be extended if im not mistaken and a few small things as well. go to http://www.turbocivic.net and it will give you all the details

92-95 GReddy kits bolts right up to a 6G Civic, no modification needed 'cept a little wiggling of one of the IC pipes

Smashback

I think Greddy is supposed to come out with a new kit for 96-00 but not sure when.

they've been saying that for like a year now. it's never going to happen.

Thanks guys

GReddy kit is good. A'PEXi is better.

True, especially if you have the extra grand to spend.

Apexi is better but he mentioned a h22. YOur looking to deal with a lot more than you are thinking about. Those swaps aren't just bolt in. There are alot of modification involved. First you need to set your goals. If your looking for a 12sec reliable motor. You've got the wrong motor. If your looking for somthing fun to play with on the street and to beat a few people a kit will do you fine. B-series motors are alot more easier to put in a car. Just take the time to figure out what you want to do then go from there. FYI......if you do a b-series swap you'll be alot happier with the turbo on it than a SOHC.

CzanSOHC

you get what you pay for.

Better quality, slightly larger Ball-bearing IHE turbo, better incooler if you decide to get it.

ahobbs

JoTech can install Apexi kits for $4100........everything you need.

CzanSOHC

I could have got the complete kit, GTR intercooler and twin chamber BOV shipped for $2800. Free installation considoring i work on my own car.

But I decided to jump on that max rev deal

ahobbs

good deal

BoostedED9

custom turbo kit.. or the apexi

Rhythm Racer

WHat would i have to do to be in the 13 1/4 along with the turbo.........and im just gonna keep my D series for now.........

BoostedED9

you cna hit 13's with one of htose home made t3/14b setups

swrdply400mrelay

You can do it with Apexi or GReddy kit pretty easily. Most ppl can break into high 13's with 10psi.

D21X

anyone know what a 95 civic ex with t25 turbo, vafc hack, 450 injectors, starion intercooler, apexi n1 cat back, test pipe, @ 10 psi can do in 1/4 mile???

ahobbs

Yeah but you need the right set up it can be done easily.

Rhythm Racer

what is the "right" set up.....i think im gonna get the greddy kit..but before i do does anyone have a price on the apexi kit......thanks
