Damn, that would be cool to see. I'm just planning on a street tune though. Wouldn't it be quite expensive to have a tune that good pushing 15 pounds legally?

not true. you can tune it to pass (almost) any sniffer test. we also have to pass a visual emmisions test. meaning they look for added parts, and a turbo kit is hard to hide.

From what my mech said and what I understand, you can tune a car to pas any emissions test.

Yeah i know i'll fail emissions if i boost, there's ways around that though. I'm just trying to assess the probability of getting popped for it.

Crap...i didn't wanna have to resort to this, but i may have to look into an engine swap instead. That edelbrock kit costs 3500 + shipping on a t-25. Thats almost the same price i was looking at for a full pieced together t3/t4 kit, h-beams, vitaras, clutch/flywheel, fuel/oil pump, injectors, gaskets, headstuds, boost controller, street tune, and misc. parts.

This might be the best you're going to find. http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...nda_civic.html
You'd want to get rid of the piggyback and have it tuned though (but that's true of any turbo set up imo).
With a built motor and head, upgraded fuel pumpand injectors, and a different exhaust manifold, you could probably make 300 to the wheels reliabely, with a huge midrange. You'd have to switch back to the original manifold for visual inspections though, and switch back to tame fuel and timing maps via chip or laptop. That wouldn't behard though.

He needs the edelbrock piggyback to pass CA emission test.

Bastids. Well it wouldn't be difficult to change back to that either.
That all might to get to be a pain year after year though (I'm assuming it's yearly.) Just depends on how much it's worth to ya.
