Default turbo-kit

hallo everybody,

I am new here, my name is peter and I am from the netherlands, i have a 97 ex civic coupe

I am currently looking for the turbo kit for my sohc engine, I am planning to ship one from the US so it gona cost me very match to bring it here so I am not looking for expensive ones. I was wondering if someone could help me with finding one for a nice price.

on stock internals for a daliy driver, u wont be able to push but more than 9 lbs. Greddy has a good kit, but it doesnt come w/ an intercooler. i'd say build one on ur own, but thatsw just me

if I going to build one I will have to ship every part to the Europe and I think it will be more expensive than a good turbo kit

first rule of modifying cars.


cheap, reliable, fast. you can only have 2, never the 3rd.

you want cheap and fast, so it will never be reliable.

if you want the best for the money, piece the kit together yourself. the learning experience is INVALUABLE when it comes to working on your car. you are forced to know exactally what each piece does. it runs about the same price as a name brand kit but you get to pick and choose the best parts for your final goal.

I dont have a link but here is what you would need to buy...

turbo
Intercooler
Intercooler piping
BOV
Turbo manifold
If turbo doesnt have internal wastegate you will need one
Downpipe
Oil Feed Lines
Larger Injectors
Some type of FMU
Boost Gauge

on that stuff i wouldnt run more than 7-8 psi on your car unless you go with a stand alone
