1 Just for my info what is the model number of the 1.8L in my car

2 I am in need of anyone who knows anyone that has a oem 2007 civic ex exhaust manifold

3 i was thinking of using the T3/T4 turbo as they are cheap is that a good choice

4 will i be able to use stock injectors and just get a high pressure fule pump and regulator or will i have to get bigger injectors if so what size

Just 60 horse?? What about lsd, bigger brakes, stiffer springs, and bigger sway bars. Yeah i would like to see you make 60 more horse and all of the other stuff for under $2,500, cause $2,500 isn't much for all ur really gettin. It's not just more hp.

All jap cars in florida might, they are "making" a SOHC turbo kit and might have some oem parts laying around.

3 i was thinking of using the T3/T4 turbo as they are cheap is that a good choice
Not a question

4 will i be able to use stock injectors and just get a high pressure fule pump and regulator or will i have to get bigger injectors if so what size
Noone has turbo'd the SOHC yet....

5 do they have piggyback ecm controllers for the ecu in my car
No</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

I thought the 07 models with R18s were having some kinda 'new' header that was welded directly to something else.... wasnt there a huge gripe about that a while back?

i think the 06's have them too....or was it the intake manifold? said it was one whole piece

 

The R18 exhaust manifold is integrated with the head. It does not unbolt.

 

then how do you install such items as the megan racing downpipe?

 

the downpipe is just bolted to the cat to the whatever that thing is called to the engine,thats why it is easy to install

Bolts to the cat and B-pipe. It's actually an A-pipe, downpipes are for turbos. I do not know why Megan Racing has called it a downpipe.
