just bought my Civic Si 6 months ago and need some answers. wanting to go forced performance but also want good bang for the buck without losing reliabilty. So what i need from you guys is which kit do u recommend, and what HP Level should i expect form that kit, I already have the following mods. Greddy SP Catback Exhaust, Aem Fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator, Unorthodox Racing Underdrive pulley, Injen Intake(short ram),Act 2600, clutchmasters Lightened Flywheel, and a DC sports 4-2-1 header. thanxs for all the help out there fellas

uh oh, be nice to the lady.

 

you wont be needed the intake(with a kit), you wont need the header, some will say ditch the aem fpr. but everything else is ok.
well depending on what power you want..
id say for you its either go with GREDDY KIT or DRAG kit.
id personally go with greddy just cause im a bit weary of the turbos with the drag kit.
you will make around 220whp and be pretty conservatively tuned(hopefully that=realiable) and the car will be a lot of fun.
hth.

 

Greddy kit if you just want good, reliable power. A true bolt on kit.

 

haha. someone give her the "tuning is the key" speech.


but yeah- the greddy is a great "first turbo"...

realisticaly: pretty low 200 whp - for the basic "bolt on" greddy kit would be a fair guesstimate...

 

If you want your car smog legal, then get the Greddy kit.

 

I like the DC sports turbo kit. Best bang for the buck.

 

They don't make one... or was that sarcasm?

 

They did make a manifold.

 

Isnt bellview, an insane asilum? seriously they are all similar in price, and performance, make sure who ever is doing the work , can also recomend the components that will make the turbo kit perform reliably, and to your expectation's.Make friends with some one who has a good rep so yuo dont get taken, and any of the kit's will perform great. Now for my biased opinion, go with revhard, great kitt great price. Jason

 

they made a d series manifold, it usually cracked after driving for 10 or 15 minutes. I did a setup with this manifold a few years ago.

if its yoru first turbo kit, or if you odnt plan on going too crazy, greddy without a doubt is the way to go. If you want to upgrade later on, look at something else.

 

Sounds like you need..............GReddy!!!

 

Thank you Gentlemen for all of your help in clearing all of my questions. you're the best!
