Rep Power: 375 For a custom setup your looking at about 6 to 8Gs, you need quite a bit more for a setup than the turbo all alone, plus we have a returnless fuel system so either find a way around it or convert to a return system like the previous Civics had, blowoff valve, intercooler is a wise investment, exhaust manifold, some sort of meters to see how your ***** holding up, there is quite a bit more use the search key and youll find quite a bit of info, hope this helps a bit

Rep Power: 0 my car is almost done with the turbo kit and i drove it today. im using a t3 that garrett made speciafically for our 1.7l engine. spool up time is hardly noticable, it spooled up at around 2500 and thats without turning yet. i also had my fuel system converted to return style, but there are other things you can do. riceburner ex used and additional injector and standalone fuel management i believe. either route is perfectly fine. my car has the prototype kit that skr performance will produce for our cars and it should be out this spring and include everything for the return fuel system. itll be around 6g's but wellll worth. i was only boosting 3-4 psi today at 3500-4000rpms at 1/2 throttle and the car was pulling a whole lot harder and sounding beautiful. it should be done tuesday or wednesday so ill post pics and let everyone know how its running. t3 is defiently the way to go for our cars though i can say that much at this point.

Rep Power: 417 ya most people with turbo on our cars use t3, either that or t4 in a t3 housing. turbo-performance has a kit for a little over 3 gs which includes the intercooler but i heard the turbo manifold wasnt too good.
