D16Y4 Turbo kit ( i understand this has been brought up abit)

depends on who where and which brand u get. ive seen sum kits go for as low as $2 k like u say with the turbo, manifold, IC , piggyback EMS and pipes and thats it, i wouldnt call that a good kit, u run the risk at that price.

a 6K to 9K ive seen that still dont come with INJ FP and a stand alone EMS

the 9K to 12K was what i paid cos it was a 1 off production that peak boost did for me. as theres only 2 company that make em for my car and they both had shitty manifolds and small turbos.
i got the works done at a drive in and out price inc tuning and GB work and it would have cost less if i went smaller turbo. Aslo my prices build was when the dollar crashed in the US so that also affected my price.

but yeah the more common D series should be alot cheaper by say 2k as a drive in drive out package.

i still reckon you coulda gotten more power for that amount of money, not having a go at you, but 12 g's, couldev netted you a built D17 and turbo kit and more so, power..... but hey, if ur happy with the car, whos to say ur wrong, and it is ur money, which one day i will have, lol....
Actually most kits do come with EMS, jus not injectors fuel pump etc, jus the necessary to keep the engine and turbo JUST ALIVE...
I think most workshop charge so much is due to very little demand in D-series turbo, hence the price asked, now if more people could float there boats to supporting the d-series, than maybe workshops will stop asking so much....

nope 12k would have never netted me a build D17, with the $ being at .60c back then it would have been using shit parts and the price of postage would have killed it. if the parts were avaliable in Aus maybe it was the Shipping and Labour that killed me

for the love of god, if someone about to spend 12k on a turbo D shoot yourself in the head....

with that kind of budget you can easily do a b-swap and boost it you would see far greater figures.

hey guys,

ive been doing some further research after i got a PM from a person from these forums. i have found all parts from the usa which have reduced the costs by 6 grand which has made this more appeling. the kit is a turbonetics turbo charger http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...ries+Turbo+Kit when speaking with the guy there he said i should see 100hp increase with this kit out of the box which is awesome considering the price.

i have spoken with a mate of mine and he has told me that turbonetics turbocharges are really poor quality and would die after around 20,000 kilometres of use, which is making me think twice again.

I need some advise on people who have used these turbochargers, is this true?

Turbonetics are crap

that llink is my trubo D not the turbo B post you've read

yeah ive had a read of that in my research - greddy is something i would look at but i cant seem to be able to find a kit for my d series (96-00)..

Ive read people saying turbonetics are great - some dont like it - some are in the middle as they state its just like any other turbo thats going to fail.

I am not sure - its my first car ill be modifing and i cant justify spending big dollars on my civic; anyone elses advise?

greddy 92-95 will fit 96-00 but you get biggger injectors in the 96 kit

I'll find the kit this weekend and post

that would be great - i appreciate your help.

im hoping it will be around the 2-3 grand mark
