Default Can I easily get 250HP out of a greddy Kit. DOHC ZC.

Ok, 250 HP will put me about where I want to be. I have a DOHC ZC in my CRX SI now with just an exhaust. Can I hit 250 horses with the 92-95 civic greddy turbo kit? I would obviously add the intercooler and BOV at the same time. Just wondering if these kits are efficient up that HP.

that would be around max...

you would also need different fuel pump and injectors and some kind of fuel managment..also 250 hp with a d-series is kind of pushing it..may want to get different rods and pistons,arp headstuds,etc

That greddy 15g would be more than maxed out, get a bigger turbo.
I used to run the Greddy kit on my DOHC ZC.

You'll also need more than just the bolt on kit to reach anywhere near what you want.

EDIT: I overlooked the word "easily" in the title...no it won't "easily" be done.

Damn, that's what I was thinking but hoped somebody had luck with over 200HP and stock internals. So what would just that kit plus intercooler put down on the ZC? About 175?

The stock internals part isn't your problem. It's the size of the turbo. That 15G maxes out a little early, you would need a larger turbo to stretch the power out. The 15G makes good low end torque.
There are plenty of people making over 200whp on stock ZC's...I make over 200whp on my ZC.
