hey guys i was thinkin about turboin my 1999 honda civic ex which has a d16y8 with like 45k miles and i was wondering how good the edelbrok kit is or the turbonetics or greddy? ... also is there a cheaper way to get a decent turbo kit? if so let me kno

 

The kits you mentioned are all good ones, you can maybe get it done cheaper by putting your own together but you have to be carefull what you get and it'll probly run you 2500.

 

you can get very basic kits on ebay that are universal and need to be modified a bit to get them to work. All your going to really want on that motor without building it is maxing it out around 10 psi, so any of those kits will work.

 

go on ebay and get a full kit there for under 1k brand new... then when u get it just get a tial wastegate for it and thats it.. will run nice for your application

 

Get the Edelbrock. But get the version that doesn't come with the fuel setup and the piggyback. Instead do your own fuel setup and get some real engine management.

Greddy was made cheap by not including some critical components like an intercooler. By the time you add all the stuff that should have been included, you spent more than the Edelbrock.

I wouldn't recommend building your own kit from junkyard or ebay pieces if it's your first turbo. It's going to be a big mess.

 

I got a question, would it be a good idea to build my engine first if I wanted a turbo? or get a new engine altogether? and what would be a practical build i can do first to my engine? cams? pistons? springs? crank?

 

if i was to get the edelbrock kit that doesnt include the fuel management and piggyback what parts would i need to get the car running nice?

 

all the kits will work it depends on what boost your are looking to run and how much fuel you wanna dump when you boost high......

 

i think im gkit that has the fuel management and piggyback... i mean u realli cant boost that much more psi on a stock d series witout a realli good tune so im good with the 7psi limit... does any1 kno where i can find this kit cheap online? or is any1 selling one ?

also does this kit make a nice blow off sound?

 

Your thread is now locked. If you're going to post a question regarding a turbo setup, please post it in the Forced Induction forum in order to avoid ignorant banter like the crap quoted below. Thanks
