What are the best turbo kit brands? Is it good to have a fuel pump included and how easy is it to install a kit? I have seen a brand called DRAG. They any good? just looking for general info. TX

 

Greddy and HKS make some pretty good turbo kits. But I've kind of sided with Rev Hard turbos. There pretty cheap including whats in the package.$. Though there are also other pretty good companies out there you just have to find what one you want. The turbo kit installation usally takes 8-12 hours. A fuel pump is "good" in a regular turbo kit, though sometimes if your planning to get more power you might want to upgrade it into a higher flow fuel pump.

rev hard for the money and quality imo

 

GReddy, HKS, Apexi are all good, but someone a while ago (i think its under forced injection on the forum) said he went to see this presentation of some guys who made a 700hp civic and custom made all their own ****, and they were sayin that GReddy and all those companies are just makin cheap turbos that are exact copies of each other...according to these guys the stuff they make is ****. they now sell their manifolds, turbos, and everything (http://www.full-race.com). theyre expensive as **** far as bolt on turbos go, but if you can get the power they claim (they say with their stage 1 on a b18c1 they were runnin 350hp at the crank, and they have 4 stages) it'd b well worth the money

EDIT: its actually 450hp on stage one ($4k), 530hp stage 2($4250), 620hp stage 3($4.5k), 700hp stage 4($4750). thats with AC, w/o AC its about 500 bucks cheaper

 

dude swift what kind of car is the second picture from the top?

 

Methinks that's an R34

 

i have a turbonetics bolt on and i like it. but i am buying a rev hard because a buddy of mine has one on his b18c5 and sands my dick off in my ride with the same engine. or you can go by the old saying, "you get what you pay for". i concur for rev hard.

 

wow. I have a hard time believing that those kits at full-race pump out 700 hp. Im sure they get more than others, its just the kit looks about the same.

 

Aren't the Rev Hard stages 2 and up not street legal?

 

i would think just about anything is street legal performance wise as long as it's in responsible hands.
