Ok a i have a 98 civic coupe ex with a stock d16y8 motor everyone says this is the most complete kit i can get and comes with some perty hi end parts. I need encouragement to buy this it is $3,500 shipped which is the best deal i can get it at please give me some oppinions and any alterations i may need to make.

 

edelbrock makes good ****. too bad the price is so high

 

$3500? check out yoparts.com they might have it

 

here is a link to the pdf catalog its on page 3 http://www.edelbrock.com/sportcompac...008_sc_cat.pdf
unfortunatly its not on the website you suggested. Do you guys think it looks perty complete or do i need anyhing extra or be prepared to make any more pricy adjustments

 

do some research on these forums, check the stickies. You can piece together a turbo kitn for around 2 grand

 

I'd go for it if I were you. Once you become familiar with it, you'll be able to make a good custom turbo kit for cheap. Plus you dont have to deal with all the bull**** when it comes to gaskets, nuts, bolts, lines, and fabricating things for proper fitment. The best turbo kit i've seen around.

your going to need a **** load more stuff, y dont you do some research. your going to need to build your engine if u plan on hitting high numbers, you will need to chip your ecu or get a piggy back, some gauges, exhaust, clutch, all sorts of stuff. Also you will need to get it installed and tuned on a dyno.

 

Wrong....the edelbrock kit, and likewise with the greddy kit are designed to be directly bolt up. They come with everything you need to get up and go. Granted, piggybacks suck, but they work until you can upgrade. The edelbrock kit is better IMO being that it comes with a front mount and a few other key things that the greddy kit doesnt. Gauges are a pretty much must though, as well as an exhaust (2.5" or 3"). you shouldnt need a clutch unless yours is pretty much in need of a change anyway.

 

The only other thing I would get that the kit doesnt have, is a fuel pump (Walbro 255) and get a new fuel filter, as well as new hardware/gasket for where the downpipe bolts up to the cat

 

agreed^^^
