I'm no mechanic and all those pieces makes my head hurt lol

But I've seen that package on Ebay before and thought it looked good. You could always just replace the turbo or dump pipe

what u guys think of this

Those exh manifolds are prone to cracking around the welds, so your better off with a cast iron item. The kit has no dump pipe, so your going to have to get that fabricated.

I always look for the kits with dump pipes cause i plan to fit the kit myself. IMO for a stockblock setup ebay turbo kits are fine, the only trouble i hear about the turbo is if your running over 15psi, so stock block i wouldnt run anything passed 10psi.

hey whats up guys.i blew my gearbox not long ago and i was thinking of getting the breeze gearbox and slap it on my d16y1 head with the d16y4 block, i was just wondering if its gonna work?

[VTECnique]

yes itll work mate. Are you running a Y1 ecu? all D16 blocks are similar, so you can use the Y4 block with Y1 head, as long as your not using the Y4s ecu. gearbox will be fine itll bolt straight up....

Well im planning to get one of those kits some time this year. Im not going for lots of power, as beeza said previously i just want something fun to drive, & stun some unexpecting ppl. Not alot of turbo civics here where i live either so i guess its the unique factor aswell. Not like 'oh there goes another civic with a monster tacho & fart can'....

[Frankie]

yeh know what ya mean keep us posted on how it goes and which kit you get etc, you should start a build thread. have u planned roughly how much it going to cost ya

[VTECnique]

Kinda, im trying to be as budget as possible. Last night i came across a DIY piggyback for the Y4 ecu, so now instead of using the AFC hack i can tune it properly myself.

Turbo kit shipped from USA ~$1000aud
CA18DET injectors (370cc) ~$100aud
Piggyback ~$500aud

I may even get a walbro intank pump. For now anyway i will leave the exhaust how it is, its a 2.25" now anyway. 3" exhaust later on, press-bent so its much better on the wallet.....

I've just got other crap to do first like the gearbox, new clutch & lightweight flywheel, new ignition leads, one of those ground power kits & i may be able to sneek the piggyback in so its outta the 'to do' list....
