I've searched the forums but haven't found much pertaining to the efficiency of the TD-04. Mainly just people saying GReddy kits fit well, are affordable and suited to the stock engine components.

Would the stock clutch need to be upgraded?

Thanks!

I had the Greddy Si Civic kit installed just over a year ago, which used the TD-05 18g Turbo. Its very similar to the TD-04. My B16 EM1 has stock internals and drivetrain. I haven't had any problems at all yet. Read my build thread for more info.

I would recommend the Greddy kit. It comes with everything thing and is straight bolt on. Great Kit....

Pulled this from TitanMotorsports website. That where I sourced my kit from..

Greddy's turbo kit for the 99-00 Civic Si comes complete with everything you need to turbo charge your stock B16a. A true bang for the buck it's guaranteed to give you the performance increase you have desired. It's TD05H-18G turbo works wonders with the stock power plant and the kit comes complete with Cast Manifold, FCU, 320 cc injectors, Air Intake, piping, hoses oil lines and misc. hardware. Intercooler is optional and available below.

on a D series if your using a stock setup, its fine.
On a B series its abit small.

In my optinion the setup is great but the turbo is very limited. Get a nicer garret in the dual ball bearing series plus the manifold is cast iron log style. Great for your first build but i guarantee you will want to swap that to a nicer flowing built one.

from the way hes asked d question id say hes lookin for sumthin low budget that would produce power accordingly.

if your resourceful enough you can have the cake and eat it also. Just need to be good with finding deals and putting together a kit yourself.

I used the GReddy kit as Fo55il stated till things went bad, just like Fo55il :o

The main problem with both D & B kits is the small heat adding turbos

The rest is quite good funny enough

If this is your first time out go the kit and upgrade the turbo :thumbsup:

had a friend who was running a greedy turbo kit on a eg vti. think he only spat out 100kwatw on low boost. which was enough for a daily.

yeah on stock boost thats what it pumps. give or take a few kw

but up the boost + exhaust + tune = 125+ kw

if u are getting this kit upgrade the turbo, do your internals abit cams, springs, retainers and sleeves and up the boost to 15psi good ecu, hondata an example... exhaust 150+atw

You will get over 200kw ATW on 15psi with a built motor

I'm at 151kw stock motor on 8psi :p

I'm looking into the GReddy kit for my F22 SOHC VTEC.

For my old CD5 I had a HKS kit w/o intercooler setup. 8PSI with pre-tuned HKS FCON on a stock motor.

He does i just re-read the first post to make sure also.

Mikeyg upgrading the turbo from this kit would be a must as i have said in previous replies but cams, springs, retainers and sleeves arnt neccessary. B16a stock head gear is already good enough for turbo applications. So is the b16a stock sleeve, they can take upto 28psi as an average before needing to be replaced for stronger ones.

Running past 10psi on a stock motor is also even possible with a good tune but to be safe the only rebuilding you would do is forged rods, pistons etc with maybe a lower comp ratio.

also dont need 15psi to get you 150+ i get 167kw atw's on 10psi with a built motor and minor head gear. You can get the same amount of power or more with the stock compression. Mine is lower comp so i loose a bit of power/torque compared to a high comp setup on low psi.

No mention of a B16! It's for my F22B ;)
