Hi, Im about to fit my Drag Gen 3 turbo kit, I'm gonna run it at low boost to start with. My car is a UK spec 1993 Civic Vti with B16a2 engine.

What do I need to upgrade to get about 300hp? Pistons? Rods? Head Gasket?

Anything else? I wanna keep it reliable. What makes of stuff would you guys recommend?

Thanks for your help

Nick

 

To be safer I would:

1) Sleeve the block (GE, etc.)
2) Get pistons (Arias, etc)
3) Get Rods (Pauter, etc)
4) Get some kind of engine management (Hondata, AEM, DFI, Speedpro, Motec, Pectel etc.)

 

What about the head gasket? Do i need a thicker one to reduce compression or will the stock one be ok?

If you have all of the above and have it tuned properly then you are all set.

 

you need
1)hondata or ems
2) good tuner
3) if you want to be extra safe pistons rods headgasket( not nessesary though)
