hey im lookin to boost my civic is the greddy kit worth it? is the turbo good and everything? does it spool quickly? please let me no if you have n e experience with this kit? or should i just save more and try to get the edelbrock kit? obvoulsy the edelbrock is better but is it worht 3-4 grand or could i build a better custom kit with less money? please dont tell me "o i searched and found something right away". just let me no every1, thanks...

 

try looking in the forced induction forum

or check out http://www.turbod16.com

and you could build a killer custom setup for a lot less money, with better parts

 

You can definitely look around HT and find a better kit for cheaper and push more boost. Not unsafe levels, but higher than the greddy limited 5.5psi. Not to mention I have heard bad things about edelbrock, such as wastegate malfunction and boost spiking so bad that motors blow.

 

i had 2 kits on my y8 and loved both of them, IMO i would go turbo, its cheap funa and it makes decent power. And about the edelbrock kit, my buddy is running ~18psi and making over 300whp. not to shabby and hes had no problems.

Hm, maybe that was just a few isolate instances, I have no clue. But my friend sold a turbo kit here on HT for a D16Z6, he got $1250 for it, and the kid that bought it is making around 240whp right now

 

thank u fellas. if everyone could just keep the help comin tthat would be great. does n e 1 no of n e body selling n e kits or turbo stuff?

 

also i know some people dont like whenothers ask this, but do u think u guys could help me out to build a good kit for not a whole lot of money? (as long as thats not statement that contridicts itself)

 

personally speaking, if you have never boosted a car before, the greddy kits are made for you. Come with EVERYTHING needed to boost. If you want to up the boost, you would need to get an intercooler. I personally recommend piecing together a kit. You can buy better things. I would say the only thing the greddy kit has on my pieced together kit is the manifold. I am going to use a HF manifold. But my turbo size, injectors, piping, and most importantly fuel managements demolishes that greddy kit.

I have ran a greddy kit before and it worked out great. Boost built quick. Was pretty fun but I think I will be more happy with my current kit

 

The T25 from an eclipse will wax any greddy kit for cheap. Trust me..

 

p.s. my motor has 180k on it is it still ok to boost?
