I have 96 civic Hatch with a usdm B18C1 , I am debating on keeping it All Motor or doing a Turbo Setup . I was thinking of a greddy Turbo kit with intercooler, I know lots about all motor but have never dealt with turbo but turbo would be sick. What do I need to do to my motor to prep it for turbo?> What would you guys recommend?

 

that all depends on the amount of boost you want to run and the amount of power you want to make... If you are going to leave the greddy kit stock then you dont need to do anything

I dont want the turbo for dragging, I dont race to stay out of trouble!! I want it for show and for the b.o.v.

Then stock is fine. Greddy wont damage any thing unless you dont put fuel in it.

Sweet !!! Anyone know where to find a good deal on a turbo kit?

 

make sure you get a bov and intercooler since they don't come with the greddy kit. i would also get it tuned with something better then the emanage for piece of mind. do a compressin test to see if you have a healthy motor before you boost.

 

Two things that wouldn't hurt...

1) If you're not runnin' premium octane fule, you should start running it a couple tanks prior to turboing it.
2) Go ahead and get some colder NGK plugs

 

Cool thanks for the info guys, I just have to think if its worth spending all that money!

 

i think u should just bolt on a t68 turbo w/ stock internals
