Default What turbo kit is best for my 1996 ex (with a jdm b-16a) swap? / Intake manifold?

I am getting ready to order a turbo kit for my civic? I am trying to figure out what kit will work best for me. I have a show car so im not really going to be running at the track that much. Just at like battel of the imports. But I need a nice kit. I also need to know who makes the best intake manifold to use as well? Can some one put me on the right path

JG Edelbrock intake many is the best too. When you say show car, does that mean you drive it or do you just tow it everywhere?

I would do a custom turbo kit. and also an itr mainfold. But since its a show car, you want poeple to notice it. I would say JG IM and a greddy turbo cuz its a popular brand

thanks for the link. if you are looking for a show winning kit, our kits are on the top race and show cars from coast to coast, and internationally.

We manufacture an intake manifold that makes huge power over the JG, from idle to redline.

If you are serious about building a turbo car that looks and performs incredibly, our products are designed for you.

I would go full race all the way as well. I have not personally ran them (didn't know they existed when I was building turbo cars) but have friends who use their products and I have never seen higher quality. If I end up buying this 00SI I am looking at, the Drag will be leaving and be replaced by full race at the earliest time cash allows.

full race really is the way to go man. there are some imitations out there but none that perform as well. not to mention thier stage 1 kit is competitvely priced to a drag kit, but if you go to full race's website and watch the video of a log manifold like drags compared to a full race equal length and see the difference youll see why full race has sucha cult following from those in the know about performance.

Full- Race

I just got mine in a couple weeks ago. By far the best quality Ive ever seen. The kit will come with everything you will need to put it on. All you will have to do is install it, tune it , and drive it. You will not be disappointed.

That's what I'm running, as well as their intake manifold.
