I think I forgot something.

Oh yeah, my new XS manual boost controller and HKS turbo timer. I also have a custom 3" exhaust using a thermal R&D axle back with no cat.

oops forgot, my boost come in at about 3k or so also.

 

custom turbo setups are i'd make one too if i were smarter and less lazy

 

i know a guy here that can do a basic set-up with intercooler and turbonetics T3 for 3k. great deal. That's where I started after I sold teh Greddy kit (which sucked IMO).

 

stock injectors?

 

D16Y8
Greddy 15G
Type 31 FMIC
Type S BOV
Apexi V-AFC
RC 440cc injectors
Profec B EBC
SPEC Stage 3 clutch
Greddy EVO Exhaust
Stock wheels/tires

Boost comes in around 2500

Ran 14.012 @ 100.5 @ 8psi with just the turbo kit, FMIC, and exhaust.

I love it because it's cheap (well, it WAS cheap), effective, and I haven't had any problems.

NEXT: WRX wit turbo upgrade for street car, the Civic will get a transplant w/turbo and be a trailered wonder.

 

oops, seimens 550's. The guy at cybernations said they were really good injectors but I had to mutilate them to fit, I don't even think they are for a B16A. I am going to get RC next I think.

 

You could save yourself a lot of $$$ by using DSM 550cc injectors, if you don't mind wiring a resistor inline on the positive wire. They work just as good and are CHEAP!!

 

Olds setup:
93 B18A1
Turbonetics t3/to4b
7psi daily
3k
Pulled like a mother. Was an awesome setup.
Made awesome power with the right tuning. It was hard keeping the power on the ground, but was fun. Made 230whp on 8psi, after hondata tuning.

 

I was wondering myself about turboing my civic... I just got in a B18C1 and I need to decide what to do with it... I think I'll have to go with a custom kit... I'm not looking for shitloads of power, just a little fun here and there and to possibly run in the low 14's or somewhere in the 13's anythinig under would be great too. The things I wonder about are:
1. COST!!! (under $4k would be STRAIGHT)
2. Will I blow My engine? (I love my B18.. It's my newborn child.)
What you think?
