i have a 99 civic ex and trying to get a turbo kit and the prices. would a 92-95 kit work on my car?

 

yeah the kit would bolt up.
Expect to pay about $1200 - $1500

 

would the kit work properly, or would i have to rigg it?

 

it works, but the piping is a little off. It works fine though.

 

is that what you run on your civic in your avatar?

 

yup. i have the 92-95 kit with a 99-00 si intercooler. just needed to reweld a charge pipe. that's all i needed to make it work.

 

Greddy kits suck just do another kit. Better numbers and power which means you will be happyer with it.

 

i ve heard greddy kits work really will on d series setups and they are fairly priced.

 

You might be right but I know on the B-Series they are not that great. Because my boosted LS Integra puts out more then my friends and my time is a 13.9 and his is a 14.8 and mine puts out more whp and a better track time then my friends turboed gsr with that kit. Yes, the price is a good price for a turbo kit even and you can find all the extras pretty cheap.

Your friend needs to learn how to drive.

 

That maybe true but explain this the small turbo, internal wastegate, and the cast mainifold. Which means you can not boost more then like 8psi and it is hard to upgrade.

 

What do you mean you can't boost over 8 psi? Buy a damn boost controller and bypass the wastegate.....very very simple. Another thing...with that turbo being so small he should walk you in the quarter with it being fully spooled around 2800 RPMS. He really does need to learn how to drive.

the 92-95 kit works.
only thing is the placement of the first o2 sensor is farther up to the front bumper. just get an o2 extender or extend the wires of your o2 sensor by soldering it.

other than that it works fine

Dude you ran a 13.9 at 10 psi on a LS.

Kill yourself before you make ignorant comments like that stunnA.

Greddy kit is one of the best bang for the buck's for D series boost bolt one. Shure you can do your own kit, even if you have a B we don't give a **** this is out of topic, next time noob's STFU. This guy's want to know if the Greddy kit worth the shot.
YES i know cause I actually own one.
the kit is pretty good, the blue box suck dick, but the turbo is a great unit, pipe are already bent and ready to bolt on, everything fit like a glove.
Go for it.
you can easily obtain 200 whp on a boosted D series with the greddy kit and a bit of tuning.

see ya
Kranked.

 

why does the blue box suck so bad and would a vafc replace what it does.

 

On the blue box, to learn about it you'll have to search like a Big boy now...
in large, it suck because of the limited tunability that you got ( the blue box will make you run RICH as **** ) you'll have to retard timming a few degrees before enjoying the kit to it's full potential, get some NGk RBK7E plug, they are colder and will help in preventing detonation too....
if you can get a stand alone go for it... I still prefer the blue box to the FMU setup the FMU ( or any rising rate regulator ) will pump up static fuel pressure, in fact Flow is important in to delivering enough fuel to you engine, The blue box do the right thing's the only major prob's with it, it's that it dosn't allow us to tune it to runn more boost ( stable up to 8 psi with blue box ) the new kit however will came in with a preprog E-manage, so if you plan to buy new, man, you will be more than happy with the e-manage cause it's a programable unit, not the best, even very far of the best but still a programable controler that allow you to do what you want to do with your engine, even blow the **** out of it ( * sarcasm * )
use the search buddy, there is plenty of info on this site, more that you can probably ingest.

I have a greedy sohc kit, but only the turbo, manifold, and downpie i would be willing to sell that way you can have some moeny to use whatever Elecltronics you want

its not that small of a turbo, and the manifold and internal wastegates are FINE. cant boost more than 8 psi? are you on crack? cause dsm guys dont run a shitload of boost on the 18g or anything......

 

yea internal gate has nothing to do with how much boost you can run. nor does the cast manifold
The wastegae becomes somewhat eniefficient in different situations, but for your application on that turbo its more than perfect

What does that have to do with anything... how many times have you raced down the track under 2800 or even maybe 4-5k?

 

You're incorrect. The blue box has been PROVEN to support up to 15 psi on the greddy turbo AND make just as much power as a stand-alone fuel management system (i.e. Hondata, AEM, etc.) AND maintain a 12.5:1 A/F ratio under boost (the best possible turbo A/F ratio). Here's some threads as proof:

http://www.turbod16.com/viewto...cba10

H-T member Racerage1 just made 184.5WHP and 171 lb/ft. TQ on the BLUE BOX at 8 psi. Typical Hondata/AEM graphs are right around 180-195whp at 8 psi on the Greddy SOHC turbo - Sure, that's a little more power but let me put it this way:

Would you rather make:
184.5WHP @ 8 psi for $50? (average cost of greddy blue box, unless it's included with your turbo kit) on stock injectors, timing and fuel pump, and maintain a 12.5:1 AF ratio under boost? Oh yeah, it's plenty reliable as well, unless you're WOT all the time...

OR

make 195WHP @ 8 psi for around $1300? (average cost of tuned Hondata for OBD-II setup, or AEM EMS, PLUS the cost of 440cc injectors ($250-$300) and fuel pump ($100)

Sorry, but I just can't spend the cost of a greddy turbo kit ($1500) AGAIN for a few more WHP from Hondata or AEM. Keep it simple, blue box

Also, here's some other links to a greddy turbo setup on the blue box:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=208016

Quoted from that thread:

"I'm running the TD04-15G Greddy kit and intercooler, blue box, 255 in-tank pump,
B&M Commandflo, and RC 310 injectors.
The motor is stock internals, with ARP headstuds, Cometic HP headgasket, and ZEX 59300 cam. Ignition is stock.

All runs were on 92 octane, NGK BKR6E plugs gapped at .030, ignition timing at 1 degree retarded, open downpipe.

On 5 psi, it made 164.1 whp and 143.3 tq. A/F ratio was 12.5:1.

On 7 psi, it made 189.2 whp and 169.3 tq. A/F ratio was 12.5:1.

On 9 psi, it made 203.5 whp and 184.0 tq. A/F ratio was 12.0:1.

On 10 psi, it made 212.2 whp and 190.8 tq. A/F ratio was 12.0:1.

Not bad, huh? I was really surprised that I was able to run only 1 degree retarded ignition timing all the way up to 10 psi on pump gas, especially since the air temp in the dyno area was 90 degrees. Usually it's like 60 degrees around here.

And the runs above 7 psi I tuned it a little richer because I was wanted to be a little on the safer side. Maybe if I leaned it out to 12.5:1 at the higher boost levels I could make 215 whp or so."

- quoted from H-T member JFK78

To wrap it up, for you non-believers: I'm not just bench racing and saying this setup would be nice. I run the blue box on my civic (greddy kit, D16Y8, 7 psi currently). I'll be dynoing at 8 psi on stock pump and 10 psi on a Walbro this spring and I'll probably be matching JFK78's numbers as well @ 10 psi on open downpipe. As far as how the blue box runs, I'll be honest:

-idles like stock

-drives like stock, EXCEPT at partial throttle under boost (slightly boggy, but can't complain for $50)

-at WOT, runs perfectly

-maintains a consistent 12:1 - 12.5:1 AF ratio under boost to redline (dyno proven to many times)

-best reliable fuel management system for those on a budget (like under $100 budget).

I'm done.

EDIT: No I'm not! Here's another dyno of a greddy turbo SOHC at 12 psi on the blue box...213WHP / 218 lb./ft. TQ!!!!!!!!!

greddy kit is a great kit for a street setup, quick spooling, u dont have to wait till 5000rpm for the boost to kick in, get a boost controller and the greddy kit is good to about 15psi

which one are you talking about. the SOHC one is only good till 11-12psi. look at the compressor charts

yes, it would work. i have the exact same model car as you and running the 92-95 kit. you'll love the power right out the box
