Default turbo kit with no A/C??

hi, i have a 2000 civic hatch with a b18c gsr swap and im planning on boosting and i really like the peakboost turbo kit and i noticed that you cant use you A/C so does that mean that you cant get any cold air period or is it that you only cant use you a/c?

no it means that the wastegate or some parts that deal with the turbo kit wont allow you to have the A/C condenser next to the radiator.
there is another turbo kit out there that you can use but its very expensive, its the Full Race kit and its either 3500 or 4500 or something like that but go to full-race.com if u want to take a look at their kits

No AC means no AC, no cold air plain and simple.

I hate to tell you a cold harsh reality but most turbo setups on hondas do not alllow A/C. HOWEVER, Greddy does have a GSR kit that still allows for A/C. I know because I have it. But if you go that route sell the crap e-manage it gives you and get some real software.

Why did you make another post?

250whp -275whp is about where you'll max, but on 8psi probably about 200whp or so.

an i/c is a must IMO

you have to have bigger injectors and a way to control them ie: VAFC or some kind of engine management

boost controller is a nice thing to have but its not an absolute necessity.
