Amazing kit! Go for it!


Buy a few of them.... You'll need an extra setup.

Injen you douche, Roblin i wouldn't recomend it, ebay is too much of a chance on it, Just look in the DIY section and piece together a kit, it will be cheeper and more reliable in the end

I am not the douche here. There are plenty of threads addressing this. If he is too lazy to search, it is his own damn fault.

I guess that's where the research comes in. From what I understand a turbo is a big step and you need to know your ****.

Here you go man... If you're not familiar with forced induction it's best that you research research research before you do anything. Also, don't buy the first complete kit you find just because it's a good deal. Let me get you started on researching some of the things you need to know...

Also, you can look around for some great books. I actually own a few. I'm currently piecing together my own turbo setup for my Y8.

Books:

Street Turbocharing
Maximum Boost
Forced Induction Performance Tuning
Honda Builder's Handbook
Civic Duty

You can find these books used on Amazon.com and probably ebay.

You need to ask yourself things like... "How much power am I looking to gain?" and "Is this going to be my daily driver?".

Basically, do the research and jot down what you know you need to buy, and the other things you want along with how much you want to spend. That's where I started and I'm slowly getting the parts now.

Hey these guys are right, and it's kool that they help you out. I did tons of research before I did the buying . Gets costly if you dont know what to get and what to look for. The last thing you want is to BLOW HER UP.. I have a D15B myself and Boost is like heaviiiiiiinnnnnnnn. Hold on for the ride and be sure to get better rods. Eagles are great see whats out there.. Nice to meet everyone here by the way.
