Im running the 1.6L SOHC VTEC in my 95 civic. I dont really want to put a b18 in my car. what would be safe turbo to run in it. i was thinking about getting a small turbo and running about 10 pounds of boost as opposed to buying a bigger turbo and running the same amount of boost because its not safe for that motor. anyone have any good ideas for me?

 

I think that the general consensus around here is that 6-7lbs of boost is safe on a stock motor. If you wanna run higher amounts of boost, you could rebuild the motor. Big $$$, but really big gains as well.

 

think a greddy t25 garrett t3/t4 turbonetics...... hks just look for good name brands but the garrett and the greddy are the number one turbo u gonne see in civics all over

 

maybe get a thicker head gasket and some headstuds, and dont drive it like a F1 car and get a good tune and you could maybe run 10 psi daily driven.

 

a good kit is a greddy ,apex i, or the edlelbrock kit (real expensive though). just don't go crazy with the boost and you should be fine

 

The kit plays a big part, but the tune is where the safety and reliability comes in.

 

I've heard alot of good things about GReddy.

 

yea, I Cant complain about my kit.

 

thanks for the help guys. i still got a few months more of saving up money. im looking forward to building up my car right though. im gonna keep doing my research and everything should come out good.

 

You found the right place for non bs advice.
