I currently have a 1998 Honda Civic EX (stock motor, stock everything) and I'm planning on purchasing the t3 turbo kit from xs racing my question is what else would I need to get besides

turbo kit
450cc Injectors
new clutch
ecu tuned
2.5" - 3" exhaust

Will my motor still be safe? Or will I have to do other engine mods?

 

a word of caution...you get what you pay for. im not to familiar with xs-power but we all hev heard the ss autocrap stories....manifolds busting, turbos breaking. do some research on here about the brand before you decide to buy it.

as far as your list, you left some stuff out. youll need a bov, oil lines, vacuum lines, t-fittings amongst other stuff. with your 450s, you will need to upgrade your fuel pump, and might and to get a fpr. Heres my advice, before you jump all over a turbo kit take your time and do research. if you just want to buy it and bring it to a shop to install it (you will be payin atleast twice what you paid for the turbo kit for them to install it) thats fine, but if you plan to do it yourself you have alot of stuff to learn. atleast you are in the the right place. hope this helps.

 

ic here's what it comes with



Anyone know about xs-power or reputation?

drag makes good kits... so does full race if you have he money for full race.

 

have you thought of piecing one together? it might not be as cheap but you learn so much about what's going on and get the good parts you need. you might need a better fuel pump if you didn't plan on already
