there are alot of kits available for you car....
Greddy
Drag
Fmax
Rev Hard
Max Rev

Do you have a twin cam motor already. If not i suggest you not go with a single cam turbo kit, i would suggest you do a motor swap. but if you like the BOV sound like me and don't really care about HP gains as much then go with the kit....

all the kits very nice with little mods if any....

Thanks for the info. Actually I'm getting the stock 127 Vtec Engine rebuild by honda under warranty right now. Im not sure if it is twin cam or not im not that familiar with engine stuff... But I hear that I can get about 50 horses more with a good turbo kit... Also I want to know if I need an intercooler or not... One last thing were can I buy this stuff. I called Performance Improvements and they dont carry Turbo Kits.... Any Suggestions any one....Do nt ofrget im on a bit of a bugdet... Approx 3500 to 4000.... I will attempt to do the install myself....

Priceless.... The stuff writes itself.



You should look into Jackson Racing superchargers if you want a nice reliable hp increase.... on their website they have dyno runs to check out for most honda engines and the price is well within your budget.

my 2 cents.

the kit that you get from greddy does not come with the intercooler
that's an upgrade that you have to buy
i would suggest you get the intercooler if you're going to buy this kit. it's so important to have if you want HP gains
you can order this kit from me
PM me if you want pricing and more info...

i wouldn't recommend the JR charger we have a customer that has one on an Si motor and it's pulls like ***

50 hp? Try 100!

It all depends on how much you want to spend. Greddy is probably the cheapest, but it's also limited. It's a stage I turbo. They you have the RevHard/FMax stage IIs which comes with a lot more and they are a better bang for the buck. Expensive yes, performance? Priceless. Drag, I would not recommend, they fit like crap and are always missing stuff in their kits. Oh and don't forget Apexi's new kit, which is stage I also.

Another thing you have to remember with the Greddy and Apexi kit is that they are not meant for your car. They are meant for 92-95. They do fit with modification though, but there is NO WAY you can do that by yourself, with the knowledge you have about cars. No offense.

I'd recommend doing a swap instead of a turbo kit unless you plan on stopping the mods afterwards. You will have a better platform to continue modding upon.

agree

The single cam motor is not worth spending any money on. Just dump that motor and go with a twin cam motor, then go from there.

I think you need to learn more about your car before you decide what to do to it.
