Ok...after many question on here i seem to have a grasp on the do's and don'ts...BUT.. still a few questions unanswered.

As i said before, i was goin to go with either A ZEX kit, or one of those greddy turbos for my lil' SOHC D16 98' Civic.

SO, which one should i go with, if i go with either one?

ON the ZEX kit, should i go wet or dry? And WHY? What's gonna be the best for my non-vtech civic with mostly stock components???? And really, just HOW much of a difference will i see and feel????

And SECOND, i take it that everyone says go with the Greddy bolt-on kit for my year civic. So, anyone know where to find the best price on one??? And what else i'll need to slap on there to be able to handle it all?

Thanks for the help!!

 

ok, 1st off what components are you running with ur D16 and what platform are u starting out with? CX, DX, LX, or EX... 2door or 4door? maybe if everyone finds out what exactly where u are maybe we can help you with your descision

 

I vote for the Greddy kit because that's what I have on my hatch and I love it. It works great on my notec motor (y7) and there power will always be there on demand, not just when you spray. Also, you won't have to worry about going and refilling the bottles. Turbo is a lot more maintenance, and if you don't keep up with it there will be problems.

EDIT: I got my Greddy kit from Groupbuycenter.com a little while back, but hit up ben@importparts.com on here. He is a great guy and will sell stuff very cheap. Not sure if he carries the turbo you are looking for or not though! To Ben!

 

turbo

 

no matter really what the application, i'd go with the turbo ...and then later on inject Nitrous on top of that but, i would go with either NOS or (my fav. Nitrous Express) just matter how much money you've got to spend i guess, but id go with the turbo

 

greddy turbo

 

turbo's like a bottle of nitrous that never runs out. Go turbo and dont look back!

 

yea,,

I got a 98' Civic EX two door coupe.
As far as components,,,EVERYTHING cosmetic i can think of. (ha) But just a Air Intake for now....that help?

 

turbo would be the best choice but for the money nobody beats nitrous

 

I WOULD DEFINATELY GO WITH THE TURBO, WITH NITROUS YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO REFILL THE BOTTLE, BELEIVE ME FROM EXPERIENCE IT GETS EXPENSIVE!! YOU JUST NEED TO KEEP UP THE MAINTIANCE ON THE TURBO





WHERE WOULD THE BEST PLACE TO GET MY D16 BLOCK SLEEVED?
AND ABOUT HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST?

 

please turn your caps lock off for your second post. thanks

 

Get the zex kit. I'm in the same boat with the d16 i figured its cheaper as far as hp goes. And then it won't kill your mpg since the hp is not all the time. Ya i guess it would get expensive since you need to refill the bottle all the time but it depends on how often your going to use it and how much you spary. At a 50 shot the bottle will last longer than at a higher hp. And then if you get a turbo later the zex kit will help you get rid of the turbo lag.

thought u said u had a non-vtec civic? an ex is a vtec dude.

 

Wooooo.. I didn't think mine was a v-tech?! I thought they made some EX'S that were and some that WEREN'T v-techs?

How do i know? I mean, how can i check if it is a vtech or not?? ANYONE got any advice? THANKS!

 

i thought all ex's came with vtec, but newaiz, if not, look if there's a v-tec solenoid, it's to the left of ur engine i believe, near the distributor

 

All Ex's are VTEC. It's VTEC, not V-TECH by the way. I'd get some basic knowledge on your car before you go turbo.
