[jay_vtec]

hey guys thought this was the best place to put this thread

was thinkin about turboing my civic

couple of questions

1. is it worth it, its already Vtec?

2. im from melb, where can i get it done at a reasonable good pric

3. where can u buy kits from and how mcuh are they?

(if there are any suppliers of turbo kits let me know)

please help me i really am looking into this

thanks in advance

if uve got a EG9 its already running B16a, u can do plenty of NA work to those, or even build a b18 or b20 block for more torque which id recomend as itll be more reliable for alot less price, and wont attract attention from the po po

Naturally aspirated work means what it sounds like.. Not boost

As fair as I’m concerned boost rocks

Boost + VTec high end RPM power

if it's a EG8 it aint a ferio
just turbo the engine

does anyone know where i can get em from etc and how much?

You didn't seem too sure on what motor you have...

Have a look at you motor number then I'll help you look for the kit once we know :thumbsup:

the greddy turbo kit will more then likely fit your motor with a few lil mods. Plenty of ppl on turbod16.com have charged there EG's from all over the world. The layouts are the same, only thing that may need customising is the ECU tuning software.

If you cant get your head around what i am saying, give your car to a performance shop and they will install or create a kit for u. You are looking at around 5k turnkey conversation from most places.

AVO make turbo kits - they are in Victoria
So to AK Motorworks - also in Victoria

Check other Traders on the forums, they are your first point of call....once you know what engine you have that is!

if your on a lowish budget mate try a Greddy turbo kit will cost about 3-3.5 k and all you need is a cooler and fuel pump. If not you got more then that to spend i beleive those full race kits come heavly recomended but at a big price or just peice together your own kit theres plenty of threads here. Just remeber dont be cheap coz it will cost you in the end. GL

The GReddy kits are a great starter kit :thumbsup:

B16A with N/A work, max power: around 130kw at the wheels being generous and not putting $100k into it as the fastest n/a eva (don't flame me!!)
B16A+ Good turbo kit, still stock internals etc, ppl have pushed 200kw while maintaining reliabilty...

N/A is good if that's what you want, but a B16 will take very well to a bolt on turbo kit!

[jay_vtec]

how would i get 130 kws from n/a work wat do u recommend?

lol as listed it would cost $$$$$$$$$$$$ to get that power

[SLOWEGG]

Don't waste your money doing a B16A N/A, just wack on a turbo.

[tekung89]

isnt there a b16 with 130kw or so atw here in brisbane?

[1996ek1]

but its cheaper and easier with just turbo

Turbo definately being the operative word here.
If you have a lot of $$$ then N/A could be fun, but if you just want a good gain for your couple of $K, BOOOSSSSTTT!!!
