appreciate your opinion but that statment is too general to be accurate it can be either way very easily B > Dt or DT> B.

good luck with it chris. Keep your research up mate dont jump into anything without some basic knowledge of what you are doing

yeah wise words from lyle as per usual. EZZY i wont be doing anything half assed but if i can acctually save money here and there by simply getting a eg kit and buying BETTER injectors which is the only differance in the kit other then the turbo type not size.

**1996ek1** · 17-09-2007 11:02 PM

Well it depends, what his goal is. If Hondavti25 is just after turbo'ing his D, or acctually has a power goal. If you have a power goal, your going to have to put alot more into the D to get the results compared to the B....

Although i like your EG Lyle, i don't have that kind of money to put into my D

**hondavti25** · 17-09-2007 11:09 PM

yeah well once i have reaseached it completly and done all my finances and shit ill make the final plunge who knows i might and up with a B all depends on my next 2 or 3 weeks but theres no doubt ill be asking you all a heap of questions and letting you know how i go.

by all means im not trying to compare my setup to a stock B. just saying that comparing a turboD to a B isnt just like compareing engine A to Engine B. Would all Depend on what D the user had a the setup they were chooseing to run. Obviously a D13 or D15 running a small crap turbo with average management & lowish boost is going to perform differently to a D16y1/y8/zc with a decent turbo (gt28r) or similar with a good amount of boost and good tune.

anyway dont want any fights, just my 2c

i think the EK kit might be safer.

cause the cooler, piping and injecters are all matched to the emanage so it should be plug and play until you get a better ECU.

If you get the EG kit then buy your own cooler and injectors the tune on the emanage might not suit the gear (cooler could be inneficient or injecters might not flow correctly etc)

**hondavti25** · 18-09-2007 08:59 AM

yeah no greddy kit comes with a cooler though for my car at least but the ek kit comes with a 15t turbo and injectors (from what i been told is a better turbo)

haha funnny turbo d same times as a stock b.....

its more a basic turbo d setup is the same as a modded b.

mixing and matching the turbo kit? who gives a fock. my kit has parts from everywhere that i put together myself, so is alot of the turbo d's in the world. as long as its tuned who cares how much u mix up a kit. the only thing what ur saying applies to is if he uses the emanagement, he cant mix the kit. and honestly who cares if he hasnt got a tuner yet its not like the car is sitting there waiting to be tuned, theres no rush better off doing research about tuners then just going with what everyone else thinks. My vote is for james from hondatech if u can get him.

only difference with our cars is for me to get more power then what i made on "6psi" i say that loosely becuase my tuner said it was 6 on the dyno but the boost guage only read it to 4 and now that i have a boost controller with a boost guage built in i know the boost guage was reading right.... so i believe it was 108 on 4psi.... but as i was saying all i have to do is turn up my boost be ALOT harder for u to make more power from an NA b.
