Ok man, do a search, there are TONS of threads about this.

Anyway, your question is quite vague, especially when you didnt tell us the goals you want out of your car...

People usually ignore questions like yours...be more specific next time

I did a search and found nothing specific. I know they make turbo packages for apexi & greddy but that is all I could find. I want to know if anyone else makes one and if greddy/apexi's kit is worth getting. I also want to know if the turbo kits that are for 92-95 d series will bolt up to 96-98 d series

Ok, but there are tons of threads about SOHC turbo kits...

AGAIN, we need to know what your goals are. Greddy is limited somewhat. Great spool up though if you have good tires. Then there's drag/fmax/revhard/maxrev with the T3/T04 turbo. MOre lag, but more power/options etc...

The greddy kit will work on the 96+ civics,,,just do a search for that too.
Peace

Thanks for the info. I am planning on a fully built d16 motor. I want to do all internals and do high boost. I already have plans for the fuel management but I want to get a kit that I don't have to replace when I get all this done. I want a kit that can keep up with the upgrades.

No offense but you dont sound like you know enough yet to be turboing a honda. I havent done it yet cause I dont know enough either, but upgrading interals wont change a damn thing about your turbo setup fitting or not as long as you leave the same block You can change your interals all day long as long if you want.

I don't claim to know everything. I know changing internal makes a difference though. All turbo's & wastegates only handle a certain amount of boost. I don't want to have to upgrade anything so I asked. If you think you need to know everything about turbo to get one you are so far off.

Ok, that could be the most confusing post i've read...

It's not necessarily what your turbo and wastegate can handle, its what your ENGINE can handle. Thats the ONLY reason people build the internals up, so the get more reliability/and or can boost more. You can throw all the internals in you want, and its not going to affect what turbo kit you put on!

Maybe i posted that for nothing, but your posts are confusing as hell...

Like I said I am going to try and totally build my engine up. Sleeves, pistons, rods, fuel system, etc. etc. I was hoping to get 300whp or at least close to it. I wanted to know if there was any kit recommended that can handle high boost without needing to be upgraded. Is that enough info of what I want. I didn't think my posts were that confusing but I reread and they are a little off.

Yeah, at least you admit it..

anyway, don't go greddy. It's going to be hard as hell to get 300hp out of that Td04...

Go either custom, or a maxrev/revhard/drag/fmax kit with a T3/T04 turbo...You'll easily get up to 300hp with any of those...
Peace

Okay I really did not want to reply but I just could not help not helping someone by pointing in the right direction. So you say you want 300 Hp right? Okay then A kit is good place to start. Stick with Rev/Hard FMAX; DragGEnIII kits those are about the best out there. Be prepared to pay anywhere from 3,000 to 4,000 thousand on a kit like this. YOu will get T3/T4 hybrid turbocharger, intercooler, controllers for fuel and what not. Also you need to lower the compression to get the maximum HP without blowing up. Once you have the cash upgrade the internals and go a little higher then stock compression get a standalone and the Sky is the limit.. There I Hope that clears it for you
PS the FMAX is good for about 30 psi

Thanks. All the posts are very helpful. I am going to check into those kits and do some price comparisons.
