Hey, as of now I have a slightly modified 97 civic ex. But No matter what it takes I'm going to get an 06 si 2dr, but when that does happen i want to turbo charge it. I'm looking at two kits
GReddy Turbo kit that includes
Mitsubishi turbocharger (with internal wastegate).
GReddy cast-iron manifolds.
GReddy cast-iron downpipe.
GReddy Airinx intake.
06+ Si kit comes with intercooler and piping.
GReddy heat shield.
GReddy e-Manage (or e-Manage Ultimate for the 06+ Si).
GReddy fuel injectors (except on the 92-95 Civic EX).
All necessary piping and hardware.
or
Turbo Specialties K20Z3 Extreme Turbo Kit which includes
- Garrett GT28R ball bearing turbo w/ internal wastegate set to 6 PSI.
- Cast manifold that comes preassembled on Garrett turbo.
- Down pipe and gasket.
- Polished charge piping.
- High-flow intercooler.
- Stainless steel braided oil line and fittings.
- Stainless steel braided water lines for turbo cooling.
- Blow off valve.
- Comes standard with TSI's proprietary fuel system, which includes a TSI interface block with 2 additional fuel injectors and controller unit (black box). The controller unit is adjustable, displays boost pressure, and has an integrated turbo timer. The settings are all pre-programmed to work right out of the box. A good dyno tune can still yield some additional horsepower though.
- Heat shield.
- High-performance air intake and filter.
- Oil return hose and oil pan fitting.
- All hardware, pressure lines, hoses, clamps, and couplers.
- Installation instructions & injector control settings.
The GReddy says it gets 254 flywheel horsepower and the Turbo Specialties says it gets 250, but wheel horsepower, not flywheel. If these are correct I'd go with the Turbo Specialties. But If anyone wants to give input I'd be glad to hear it because I want to make it right when i do get it

well... that tsi "fuel" system blows.. ditch that, get something better. both of them have cast manifolds, which, while it works, arent the greatest. i dont think i've ever heard anything good about emanage. i know the aem f/ic has been installed and tested on the newer civics, or a stand-alone is always the best option. if you really want to do it right, you will probably have to piece together a custom setup. i dont know too much about the 8th gens and whats available for them, but neither of those kits look to spectacular to me. i say get the si, leave it as it is for a while, considering your warranty. maybe some hfp parts or something.

Get the car before you think about turbocharging it. Going from 127bhp to 254 is going to be a big difference and hard to drive, get used to the 197hp first... or chances are you will wreck it or kill yourself/someone else.

I like the new Si alot but if I was you I would either leave it as is or just turbo the d series you can make 200 whp or so and much more if you build the bottom end and you wont have to worry about voiding warranties. If you do want to turbo the new SI get a stand alone and tune it right with a professional or else you will be stuck without a car and without a warranty.

If you do decide to get a turbo system and not piece one together, All Japanese Performance seems to make one of the most popular kits. With 8.5psi the kit will have your car producing 376ish to the wheels. I want to say the kit is around 4300.00. I hear their customer service is not worth a darn. There is also another company (whom I am viewing their site from time to time) called redshift motorsports. They do not have a kit out for our car, they are however in development. They are actually developing superchargers (which I am more interested in) and turbos. The turbo kit seems like its going to be very pricey (around $6700.00) that seems extremely steep. I do not know the specifics of it though, I think they are claiming around 380ish to the wheels.
I would however suggest you do what the others here have already said. Get the car, putt it around for a little so you can get a feel for it. Try to wait for the warranty to expire then have your way with it. I am not sure if your luck is like mine, but the instant you do something to your car that could void the warrenty, something happens then you are out a lot of money. Then you can only say to yourself, if I only would not have...
