civictyper Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 whats the best turbo kit out there for the money? any reliability issues?ive heard the cast manifolds crack and are crappy???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XScarAudio Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 for a daily driver, and the $, greddy kit is under 2k. over 3k is fmax(most power, lowered compression, new fuel management IC) pushes 250 to the wheels i guess......i dont see it being very reliable though.

civictyper Posted May 29, 2002 Author Share Posted May 29, 2002 ive heard the greddy kit is crappy, and the low 2k price dosnt include half the things you need including intercooler,fuel etc. also cast manifolds suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueSi Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 for a Civic I strongly recomend the Drag Gen III turbo kit it runs you for about 3.5k but it is reliable and the turbo is also able to produce big ammounts of boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGRacer Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 hey guys dont forget about the best kit! go with a BLITZ Stage 1 or Stage 2 Kit and it includes everything for around 3500 for stage 1 and 4250 for stage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XScarAudio Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 very true! great kits, but depends on the $ if i had that much, id be doing a b18c1 swap instead of a turbo! (then saving again for the turbo ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGRacer Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 true true i agree. by why go with a b18c1 when you can get a b16a1 or b16a2 and bore it out and do the headwork then add a turbo and it be hella lot quicker than the gsr motor + turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XScarAudio Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 well, price wise, i'd say go with the b18 and do the same thing! the b16's are pretty close in price to the 18s arent they?(dont really know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGRacer Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 the b16a2 is more close to the b18c1 at 2599+ and the b16a1 is way way cheaper than the gsr motor at 1300+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBirdSucks Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 stock B18A/B + turbo = faster than a stock B18C1 w/turbo you can run a higher amount of boost on the B18A/B because of lower compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Drag kits suck. Lots of horror stories about the Drag kits and their wastegates. If you buy one, replace the wastegate with a Tial. I would go with a HyTech is you're a wimp and need an A/C or Full-Race if you are normal and can handle non-A/C and big gains. Any kit that keeps the A/C (other than HyTech) isn't worth it. Reason: cast manifolds. The log style manifolds they use aren't very efficient at all. The turbo flange is located on one of the exhaust runners, verus a collector on an equal length.
