You just need to upgrade your internals. Pistons, rods, rings, etc.. i hear forged is the way to go

 

forged pistons and rods...racing rods are best. if not you should get whatever rods you get shotpeened and polished. the stock crank should be able to keep up to 10-15psi...but im not sure about that. i know civic cranks are crazy strong for stockers tho

 

I think u would have been just as happy with the greddy kit. Those turbos are capable of 250+ horsepower. You could built ur motor...........run the greddy kit at 12 or so psi with a good tune and it would be quick as hell. Prolly a grand or so cheaper too. Tuning is expensive, and your kit didnt even come with an FMU or anything. (a fpr aint goin to cut it)

 

Why a stage 3? (I could understand if you built your engine to be bullitproof.)

 

so i can get i tuned into a 500/600 Hp beast, im going to race it and enter next years gumball rally

 

wow those are some high goals u have got there. Its going to take about 3 grand to make your motor/tranny strong enough to be able to take that kinda power. Buying the turbo kit first was prolly a mistake. I woulda built the motor for boost before anything else. Then again thats me. Be careful, you can damage your car easily if u dont build the bottom end.

 

thanks for your help man, yea i have a few goals but i dont talk like other people, i do ;-)
i have about $7,000 to spend on the engine/turbo/exhaust

 

in fact the only 2 things im confused about is the map sensor, is it apart of the Greddy Profec E-01 Boost controler or the Ultimate E-Manage? if not where can i get a good one? also can somebody link me to some good size injectors that will go with my kit?

Cheers for your help

I think it sux that a civic can't take more psi on stock. My mx6 can take up to 12psi on stock.

 

personally...turbo is the LAST thing id do.

swap your engine and build it. if you wanna be runnin those kind of numbers...its gunna cost more than 7k. unless your ok with it crappin out half way down the track.
