Default Just Got Tax Refund...Time For BOOST!

I got 3200 dollars back from Uncle Sam and i decided why not just turbo the Honda I have 3200 dollars to spend, what is a better route: custom kit or the Max-Rev/Drag3/Revhard? Keep in mind this is for an EH Civic w/a 95 B18C1.

I second that motion. Do as much research as possible before spending your hard earned money.

personally, after buying all the parts that you need to in order to 'do it right', your gonna be spending a lot more than 3200. unless you plan on just slapping on a kit with hondata or something..then i guess thats enuf..

I always recommend piecing together a turbo kit. That way you can get exactly what you want. Although, I do think RevHard makes a quality kit. But, I also don't like the idea of a pump and regulator setup for fuel enrichment. If you piece your kit together you won't need to purchase those parts and can spend that extra money on a Hondata so you will have proper engine management. Just my thoughts.

Most importantly is that you have enough money for fuel managment. A drag or any other kit is good because it has everything you need, plus you can always upgrade what you dont like. I made 390 whp with a drag gen 3 kit with hondata. COurse I have head work, intake manifold, etc. Basically how much power do you want to make is the big question...

What Turbo?
What Intercooler?

How much do you want?

oh btw, the Tial isn't an upgrade anymore. It comes with the turbosmart wastegate.

Afterhourz will sell you a 2C kit for cheaper w/o Rev Hard's fuel components.

That's what I did along with two of my best friends.
