ok, i need to know what the most perferct turbo kit for my 2000 civic ex. i've been goin' back and forth between this SC and turbo crap for some time now...and i want a turbo!!! i just want the best kit for my car, w/ the least amount of moddin' the kit!

h0udini-2k7 · 09-01-2003, 08:12 PM

oh and i would prefer an ACTUAL kit, not some custom shat!
i'm to dumb for that! haha

*pdiggitydogg* · 09-01-2003, 09:01 PM

the edelbrock is so damn complete its rediculous...50state legal
greddy kit is nice as well, but comes w/o all the bells and wistles of the edelbrock kit (which is why its 1/2 the cost)...not 50state legal

I have really really thinking of getting the edelbrock kit lately...175whp is nothing to sneeze at.

h0udini-2k7 · 09-01-2003, 09:10 PM

and thats only at like 6-7psi right?

h0udini-2k7 · 09-01-2003, 09:11 PM

...and does the edelbrock kit come w/ EVERYTHING i need, like a timer, new fuel injectors, etc.?

sohc_vtec 2NR · 09-01-2003, 09:13 PM

6-7 psi it is... if you've got $3,500, then get the edelbrock kit...i too have have been goin' through SC vs turbo

theres the link from an earlier post

ebpda9 · 09-02-2003, 07:21 AM

well if you wanna save some money on the edelbrock kit let me know. most likely i can do it around 3200-3300 shipped to your door.

thermal · 09-02-2003, 07:38 PM

GReddy is cheaper and i do agree with the price to component ratio of that edelbrock kit. U get so much crap with it! I think with the intercooler, Management Unit (other than an FMU!), intake manifold with secondary fuel rail......... that is an awesome deal! Not to mention that the turbo is bigger than a Trust/GReddy TD04h-15g.

Anyway, I've met many people, decent and big time tuners who went from a JRSC Honda to a Turbo Honda just to satisfy themselves.... nuff said....

h0udini-2k7 · 09-02-2003, 09:55 PM

thanks guys...i'm pretty sure i wanna go w/ the Edelbrock kit!

h0udini-2k7 · 09-02-2003, 09:56 PM

...is there anything else that doesn't come in the kit that i will need?

*AzCivic* · 09-02-2003, 10:34 PM

you dont need anything else, except maybe an upgraded fuel pump.

09-03-2003, 12:00 AM

let me know when u get that on definately take pics and let us all see it boy boy

thermal · 09-03-2003, 06:53 AM

If you start off with the kit's stock boost set-point, then you do not need anything else. That is why it is a complete kit. You boost any higher than that, then I say get a high volume fuel pump. You'll need tools and sealant during the install. You must take your time. Get a turbo timer and an A/F ratio gauge (acurate only at WOT).....

*pdiggitydogg* · 09-03-2003, 08:52 AM

right, since the kit tops out at 6-7psi you dont need a fuel pump.

I was talking to edelbrock's representative over on honda-tech, and this is what he says about upping the boost (just to clear up some misunderstandings)
Marauder,
"Its not meant to be adjustable. But, a manual boost control valve, you can raise it to 9psi safely. Anything more than that, and you'd need the electonic boost controller and hand held controller from Link Electrosystems. Then you can adjust boost and program the 4 extra injectors.

And if you want their link....http://www.link-electro-usa.com/

They don't show their electronis boost controller on the website, but give them a call and they can give you the details. Also, the piggyback with the Edelbrock kit doesn't have a hole for the handheld control modual, so you just need to remove the cover and make a hole in it, the piggyback is able to be adjustable, given you buy the extra equipment."

h0udini-2k7 · 09-03-2003, 09:41 AM

oh i'll def. take pics when i get it in...thankyou for all the input!

sohc_vtec 2NR · 09-03-2003, 08:53 PM
