Can anyone tell me if this turbo kit is a good kit for a d15 engine? it is a hks t3/t4 turbo charger kit and claims to be capable of 400 hp . it has a to4e turbo in the kit. I don't want/can't afford...to piece together a system so I need a kit that is made engine specific.
I know everyone on this forum talks about greddy but I will not be racing this application,just for street use power increase..
thanks all

 

Research turbos man. That last statement shows you dont know what youre talking about. HKS is much more expensive than GReddy. Like LOTS

 

First get Lots as pete says then multiply it by 1000000000 and u'll get an answer


LOTS X 10000000000 = LOAAAADDDDZZZZZA

Reserch lol

 

and another thing to add, just because its capable up to 400whp doesnt mean your engine can handle it...at 400whp.. but hks is one of the best in the business and you get what you pay for

 

1) even if the kit is capable of pushing out 400whp from 1.5L...unlikely...your engine wont be able to handle it stock

2) a kit you piece together yourself will be cheaper than a premade kit you buy off the shelf. a $3,000 custom assembled 'kit' will blow the doors off of a $3,000 pre-assembled kit

3) greddy is one of the most streetable kits on the market.

i agree with everyone before me. research.

 

I guess I wasn't clear about that, they have kits that will produce up to 400 hp AND kits for the 1.5 ,not that I would expect 400hp from a 1.5. True I don't know $hit about turbo kits which is why I asked. I've been looking at websites on different kits.obviously the hks is not what I am looking for if it is so expensive. I was hoping for some useful information ,I already know I don't know about turbos so that is not useful info. I guess I'll have to look elsewhere for the info I need

HKS dont mess around with any small BS, these are one of the main suppliers for Skyline builds. We are talking 800+hp applications. If you want a good kit look into the Edelbrock or Greddy kit.

 

Thanks pete...this was very helpful....now one more question; is it possible to run an intercooler with air conditioning on a civic?
I had a 1987 toyota 4x4 truck years ago with a factory turbo and air. the cores were stacked in front of each other, intercooler then ac core then radiator. I know space is limited in a civic but if the front facia were changed out to make room? anybody done anything like that?

 

people run intercoolers all the time with ac radiators, perfectly fine
