ok here is my car

civic lx 99 d16y7 non - vtec

here are the turbos i was looking at [ol][*]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/88-00...QQcmdZViewItem[*]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-00...QQcmdZViewItem[*]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Compl...QQcmdZViewItem[*]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...QQcmdZViewItem[/ol]i think number 3 is like the best i found. but what can u recommend me (beside changing my car)

 

Everybody will tell you to find a brand name turbo. All four of these eBay listingskind of forget to tell you what brand the turbo itself is.They are all probably cheap Chinese knock-offs.Plan on spending about 5 or 10times what you are thinking today. My son just finished turboing his 2003 EXL K24A4 Accord @10psi. Final bill = $7,000.++...But he now has a 295 hp daily driver. It's a sleeper too.

my turbo alone is $975, what does that tell you about the quality of your kits your choosing? my entire kit, will cost me around $3000-3500 but at least i know my mani wont crack off, or my turbo wont split in half [8D]

if your going to choose a kit off of ebay though and dont plan on going for extreme ammounts of whp then go with #2, godspeed makes sub par stuff, but the rest make straight up **** quality so dont even go near them without expecting it to fall off your car unexpectadly.

do yourself a favor, buy a 2.5" catback exhaust, a high flow cat, and a really cheap ebay short ram intake and drive your car around like that for about 6 months, all the while be reading and reading and reading about turboing your car and you will find out exactly what you want, and exactly why you want it.. right now i dont think you even realize how much work it will take to get this into your car, theres a lot more to the kit than just whats on those links, you will need

1.) bigger injectors ($80-$280) Depending on dsm's, precisions, or rc's, go with 450cc or 440cc
2.) vacuum lines, vacuum mani ($40-50)
3.) gauges ($100-$200)
4.) p28 chipped ecu for your tune ($120)
5.) obd2b-obd1 conversion harness ($80)
6.) a new clutch ($300) capable of holding at least 200whp
7.) a good tune ($250-$300) if everything goes well

and im sure i missed a lot, so yea, replan your build
