RE: turbo kit with no A/C??

yea 300 is alot for a civic. remember your hatch is lightweight so the power to weight ratio is crazy. also remember with 300 whp you won't get any traction through 1,2 and probably all of 3rd gear.

have you ever driven in a boosted civbefore? if not you will be surprised how fast 200whp is.

I dont think you guys realize the potential of the greddy setup. Everyone is very quick to say the greddy 18g wont make more than 300whp but thats just not true at all. on a built GSR motor the 18g can make 300whp easily on 10-12 psi. It maxes out somewhere in the 26psi range and can make over 400whp on the right setup! Think twice about that potential when you want to keep your a/c.

when people are talking that an greddy kit can't make 300hp, they are referring to the d series kits.

Im pretty sure everyone in this thread is talking about a GSR, a B series motor. Basbal123 I think what your not understanding is 300whp (wheel horse power) is not the same thing as a manufacturer claiming their new car has 300 hp which is probably equivalant to 240 whp. Your hatch probably weighs no more than 2500lbs so with 300 whp you power to weight ratio will be pretty rediculous. There are very few prodution cars with that kind of ratio coming out of the factory.

RE: turbo kit with no A/C??

yes, i am aware of this, i have an engne dyno at a local tune shop, so i want to be able to make at least300 hp at the flywheel, i know that im probably only goin to get about 250-260 to the wheels with a new clutch, lsd etc.
