i know this has been done but...

[defect]

great you found a civic you like but
do you even know what you want? turbo or vtec?
how much do you want to spend?
what model ''EK 96" is it? CXI, GLI, VTi-R?

maybe you should of made up your mind b4 purchasing the car.

[DreadAngel]

okay ive actually gone and bought myself an ek 96 lol... couldnt do the older shape... now looking for a bolt on kit, i seen a few go for 1g mark , now looking at a cheap ecu solution (not after hecticmications just runs the turbo )

Just buy a Turbo Kit, if you want to go the hard yards and "JDM yO" get someone to bring you back a Top Fuel Bolt on Kit LMFAO... That'll give you a few ponies and a massive dent in ya pocket

Being more serious, maybe look into using a T28BB off a SR then have custom work to have it bolt onto ya engine. There will be some around for sure with many of the T28BB being dumped for bigger turbochargers. That maybe an option, just an idea though lol...

[rnbguy]

do you mean just the T28BB turbo or the whole kit?

[DreadAngel]

Nah nah, the T28BB is the name actual Turbine and its off from what I know at least the Silvia S15. The kit I doubt there is a premade one so you'll need custom fabrication for it to fit your car. The good news is sometimes this is cheaper than getting a kit from JP and works just as good. You'll need to talk to workships etc to see what they can do and recommend.

So you want a cheap turbo honda eh? (And it sounds as if your keen to tinker so...)

Go homemade! www.homemadeturbo.com

They're e-thugs most of the time but there's some good tech in there (once you learn to read past the slander & pr0n)

[serpo]

man I woulda sujested CRX there the best to turbo these days, bolt right on no ECU mod needed for ony 5 PSI buy an EBAY kit if you want cheap but you may need to reweld the turbine and the manifold
