HCI Mag March 04'

pg 49 reveils a new turbo kit for our cars. HP Performance has released a new turbo kit with dyno #'s. Stage 1 runs at 5 psi with all stock internals. With no other mods to the car they dynod at 185.4 hp and 168.4 torque. List price is $3k. Finally the civic coupe has arrived with mods being publicized. Stage 2 is due out with over 200hp. Linky

Check it out. Another alternative to Stafford

u must relocate battery to trunk, i don't like the header design and must importantly, there is no fuel system of any type. This kit relys on injecting alcohol to compensate for the lack of fuel.

gottcha (didn't think about the battery part), but I'd be more interested in stage 2 and see what happens with a dyno.

Manifold design looks like it'll take forever for the turbo to spool.
