i’ve been having a lot of trouble deciding what to get for my civic; if anything knows anything about turbos, how much horsepower do you think i’d get out of this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-05-HON… ?
also, if anyone has my car (2002 dx coupe) do you know the specs for the wheelS? i dont have an owners manual and im about to get rims. http://www.procivic.com/pages-product_ca… do you think those are crap and will rust over? or are they good?
First off the turbo on that page IS NOT A COMPLETE KIT. the kits that you need are about $3,500. you need CORRECT piping for the intercooler, not the “universal” junk, oil feed and return lines, fuel management, injectors whether its bigger or additional add-on injectors, a timing control, missing link, 2 or 3 bar map sensor, and a correct STRONG turbo manifold. Look at it like this, a QUALITY turbo by itself is about $800-$2,000 so a kit that costs $1000 you can pretty much figure on being garbage. Personally I would look at the Greddy, or Turbonetics turbo kits. They both include ALL NECESSARY PARTS right down to the brass fittings and even come with the injectors and fuel management. I work at a tuner shop and have seen it all. these “kits” from Ebay like this are just plain garbage. PERIOD. Do yourself a favor and save a little more money and I promise you you will be happier.
1) you will get around 140-180 depending on your civic’s model type
2) those wheels will rust after a few years. dont get them!!
