New Apexi Turbo Kit for SOHC Civic
I hate to sell it, but I have to because we're buying a house and need the money. The kit is for the 92-95 Civic, but will work on other models. I bolted it up once and realized that it wouldn't work without a different intake manifold and throttle body because I have a 97 DX, so it has never been used because I never got the right intake manifold and throttle body to use it ( I was waiting to build a SOHC VTEC head for it).
1992-95 Honda Civic EX or Si (D16Z6) - up to 160whp,
190hp offroad (i.e. intercooled)
Includes:
* AX53B60 P18 ball bearing turbocharger
* Cast-iron exhaust manifold (keep your A/C)
* Power Intake filter kit
* Necessary piping and mounting hardware
New Turbo Kit in box for $1800/b.o. (I paid $2095) +shipping. myke_cox@hotmail.com
If you're interested I also have
*New Apexi Turbo Timer in box (paid ~$100)
*New Apexi BOV in box(paid ~$150)
*New TurboXS Manual Boost Ctrl in box(paid ~$80)
*New Moroso 5qt Oil Pan and Pickup in box(paid ~$400)(no drilling for return line)
send offers to myke_cox@hotmail.com
*Used Kidney in body (make an offer so I can keep my kit)

Just in case you aren't familiar with the Apex'i kit, turbo magazine did a dyno:
http://www.turbomagazine.com/t...turbo/
Off To The Dyno Cell
Our testing was performed on APEXi's Dynapack dyno and an APEXi V-AFC was used in the tuning process. Test sessions prior to the development of the turbo kit returned power readings of 110.4 hp and 92.6 lbs-ft of torque in stock trim. With the kit generating its prescribed 6 psi and running through the cat with stock injectors, the test mule was once again at the mercy of the Dynapack. Power jumped to 171.4 hp and peak torque increased to 132.0 lbs-ft. The kit allows the power-hungry to feed their needs to the tune of 61 hp and 39.4 lbs-ft of torque at the wheels. What would the kit produce with the addition of the optional front-mount intercooler? The APEXi GT-spec cooler was grafted in the system and nothing else was changed. There was a 1 psi drop in boost pressure across the intercooler, so the IHI hairdryer provided only 5 psi to the engine. But the test illustrated the power of intercooling because despite the boost drop, the colder charge air netted a 15.4 hp boost to 186.8 hp. Torque also saw an improvement to 141.7 lbs-ft. The logical thing to do would be to turn up the boost pressure and "rescue" that lost pound. This would add even more power to the bottom line. Theoretically, boost could be turned up past 6 psi without the risk of detonation, but this should not be attempted until the fuel system is deemed capable of handling the added demand. This is where the APEXi fuel system upgrade would come into play but this alters the kit to off-road status. We hope to test the all-out version in the future.
The APEXi Civic turbo kit is currently a CARB pending affair with optional components offered for off-road use only. While we are not sure when APEXi will complete the CARB testing procedures, we can report that the kit delivers the goods when you drop the hammer.

Your gain, my loss. Kit has to go to buy new house. $1600 best price, you pay shipping. I'm losing $500 on this kit I paid 2095 for. The ball bearing turbo would probably cost about as much as you can have the kit for.
