can I get a review from someone who has one installed in a Si, or should I just get a 05 SRT-4 for 16,000 instead of a Si

SRT-4's are pieces of ****. If your going turbo with an Si buy the AJP kit.

 

there was a srt-4 at the charleston meet that made 300whp/300tq. you wont get that much torque out of the si, but i love mine.

 

for non power rear windows

 

SRT-4 = cheap power.

And I emphasize cheap. Not just in price either.!!

 

as far as the greddy turbo kit goes i heard that greddy hasnt made a complete kit, they still have issues with there emanage.

 

like the guy above me said im not even sure if they have a kit out. You could always piece together one and then have a shop put it together. What ever you do dont buy a POS - 4, go test drive one and youll know what I mean. The only reason people buy those is because they test them and find that the car does have some ***** stock and its probably the first mildly quick car they ever driven. Its sad really.

Edit: Trial and ive been a member for 6 days, wtf?

 

I really hope you get the SRT4.

 

Personally from what I hear the TSI kit is going to produce more power in the end.

The GReddy is more reliable because GReddy knows what they're doing.

They updated the kit, by the way.

 

The SRT-4 is a totally different animal. I have had too many Hondas to count and went to the dark side when the LSD equipped SRT-4 was released. Though the quality was not really there in the interior, the car was a snorting, fire breathing beast. Before I got rid of it because it was too loud and poor interior quality, mine was making 350hp w/ a Mopar Stage 3 turbo kit w/ toys. I will agree it was a POS and I have come back to the Honda w/ my Si Sedan, but I do miss the ridiculous power it had.

 

what all will i have 2 do 2 run the greddy turbo kit, will i have 2 lower compression or any other internal work

First, proper grammar;
Second, Its a direct bolt on.

First buy the car. Turbo Si compared to a used SRT4 is major $$$$-$$$$$ difference.

 

I know I should worry about getting the car 1st, but im also learning about what i can do, so will i need to do any internal work or can I run the kit at the recomended 6.4 psi (+50hp)on the stock motor

 

buddy of mine built a SRT-4 and made 550 whp and 480 tq. its fully built bottom up. but they are cheap and POS. buy the civic just b/c its turbod dosnt mean nething its still a NEON

 

Honestly, with the compression that the Z3 engine makes, I wouldn't feel safe putting any other turbo kit on it besides the Greddy. They know their stuff, and with that engine, I wouldn't chance it with anything else as far as a turbo is concerned. That car already has such a stout package to begin with, as it's been known to put down more to the wheels than Honda claims it makes at the crank.

 

^^^Not true stock it does not make over 185WHP and honda claims 197 to the crank. sorry h/e/i/reflash makes 200whp +

 

so your saying boosting it with the greddy turbo is a good idea or a bad one

 

WHAAAA yeah boost your civic, then you come back on here and complain to us about your warrantly, or will it void your warranty. First off think about if you care for warranty. If not then go test drive both cars. THEN come on here and ask for opinions.

He's right. Warranty is a big deal with turbos... The K20Z3 is a very strong motor, however.

 

warranty isnt an issue

Good idea. The boost pressure is within safe limits for the high compression engine in the K20Z3. And for such low boost....the power increase is actually pretty good.

Well first off....if he's got the dough to slap on a Greddy Turbo Kit.....then he damn well should have the dough to deal with the potential consequences and to upgrade other components that come along with the power increase.

And did you ever think that maybe he came on here to ask for opinions on MORE than just simple power differences. What about reliability.....maybe the OP might wanna know about that to. So don't be so quick to judge. Maybe he's just looking for some insight on OVERALL differences.....You really think the Dodge dealer will tell him the SRT-4 isn't all that reliable?? That's where WE come in. To offer a second opinion on such matters.

 

Ok... well in MY opinion the K20Z3 is a stout engine with the capabilities to handle the GReddy turbo kit. They have upgraded the kit a few times and its pretty much ready to go once you get it.

Personally I am shooting for a Comptech Supercharger instead because of maintenance and reliability issues but if you have the cash, go for it!

 

I have the Greddy kit on my 06 Si right now, just installed it a few weeks ago. I love the kit and love being boosted. It has made my car a totally different car. I have a ton more torque down low and can pass people in any gear easily at any rpm with about 1/2" of a press down on the pedal. The K20 engine can easily do over 400hp with stock internals. The kit is very well made, fitment was great throughout. The AJP kit does a lot of power but pretty much everyone who has purchased the kit and hasn't had it installed by AJP has had problems with the kit. Not to mention that they got kicked off of 8thcivic.com for being dishonest.... which is why I stayed away from it with a 10 foot pole. Go over there to the forced induction threads if you want to learn more about it, there are a good number of people who have the kit now.

and the SI is still a CIVIC like you said. and about the SRT4's reliability, you guys do know theyre VERY stout from the factory. i dont know why people knock on SRT-4's so much. theyre decent cars for what theyre worth, which are cheap, fast machines.
