i found this turbo for my d series civic

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Civic...98092427QQrdZ1

also will i need a boost gauge and controller?

also how long will it take to install this @ a local shop?

 

NOOOOO! Read this before you go bidding on that.

 

There is a good reason why its 'such a great deal'. Listen to amg. Oh yea, and the entire forum for that matter. Its a good thing you asked us first.

 

word

like i said...PIECE ONE TOGETHER YOURSELF. the cheapest decent turbo kit will cost you at LEAST 1200. thats why you piece one together yourself. cheaper and usually better.

go to the turbo/supergarger/nitrous section and check out the DIY turbo. its a sticky on top.

 

hey i just got a cold air intake today on the car, its great, i can really feel the difference. one question, when i hit the gas hard it makes a whistle noise, thats just the intake working right? because its behind the fender and the fast air moving over under the bumper works like a whistle? or is there something wrong? its only happens some times.

 

turbo?! he just bought his FIRST car...


d16z6 Mini Swap = +25-30 hp (200-600$)
DC Headers = +10-14 hp (250-300$)
RsR Exmag Exhaust = +8-10 hp (530-600$)
AEM/Injen Cold Air Intake = +8-10 hp (130-200$)

get a tune

not including installation... total max for parts : $1700
.......................................total hp gain: 51-64

 

if you're going turbo than you just wasted whatever money you spent on that cold air intake....but i recommend you don't go turbo anyways....seeing as it's your first car....lookie at my post^^^

WRONG! Ebay my friend, ebay. U Could use that pipe with ur turbo setup too........but if u get a turbo kit just throw the intake on ebay.

 

i guess....but still it's a waste of time and possibly money =\

 

k serious reality check.

A header, exhaust, and intake will no way in hell give you 34 hp. 18hp TOPS.

and just because its his first car doesnt mean he cant get a turbocharger. my friends first car was a subaru WRX. you got a problem with that?

and as pcupo said...he can use that CAI if he changes the piping. you can buy mandrel bend pipes and cut them to adjust your CAI to be a CAI for your turbo. or you can just get more mandrel bend pipes and custom make a CAI then sell your N/A CAI on ebay for 150-200 bucks
