Hey peoples I am new to this site and i have been looking..
I have a 1995 Honda Civic Hatchback with a 1996 DOHC V-TEC B16A Engine in it and i was looking at getting a Turbo Kit..
What should I look at getting??
How much will it cost??
and where can i get it?? ( i am in QLD, Australia =D)

I have been looking but I cant find much.. I am not the biggest car enthusiast but I am starting to get into it.=D
All help is appreciated Thx =)

^^^ probably not the best time to buy from US

custom kits usually cost you more but you get more room for improvement if you want to upgrade
avo kits are pretty good... all bolt on and can be done in the day :)

have a read of the turbo builds. There are quite a few around with comments on how people got stuff & what their experiences were

Yeah thx guys I think I might look at just buying piece by piece and then once i have shopped round and got everything I need to construct my custom Kit I will sit down and install it all =D
Anyone know of any good Australian based (Preferably QLD) where i can find good parts ? =) Thx

If you know nothing about forced induction and hondas, maybe go down to Hi-Power racing and talk to Ivan

Close to all eBay for me but when the aussie $$ kicked ass :thumbsup:

As Limbo said!!

Trick is to buy only the brand and model you've researched and don't go off track by buying something that's close but not the same or you will end up buy cheap crap...

Yeah it matters a lot lol

It cools the air before going into the TB.

Cooler the air the better for your motor plus the denser the air the more power as cooler air has more oxygen in it

Not sure but just don't buy too cheap lol

get the largest you can fit infront of your car. Brands not too much of an issue.
Justjap sell some cheap ones and they are not too bad about $200 -$250
