I work for a sport compact shop and we had this turbo kit brought in buy a customer who had no idea who made it, but wanted us to sell it for him.
I know its for an 01+ Civic.

Just wondering if anyone can tell us whos kit this is.

I've seen this kit. HP performance makes it. I saw a review of this same turbo kit and it made 185 whp at only 5LBS of boost. I think theres a few people on here that have but not many. http://www.turbochargedpower.com/Turbo%20Kits.htm.
I don't think they make the kit anymore I couldn't find it on the website.

that manifold definitely looks like the HP kit. i believe the 185whp @5psi was heavily reliant on alcohol

Yes I forgot, your right. They used Snow performance water/alcohol injection kit

It's a very nice kit, and they use nam brand parts. I just don't like the fact that you have to relocate the battery to the trunk. I know at one point they were selling it for $2,999.00.

I didnt know you could keep your ac with other kits...my experience was from the older model civic where the normal manifold wiht the turbo on it not fit with the ac fan still on there...i guess the 7gens are diff??

I think the only reason this kit didn't sell too much was because it didn't come with any kind of fuel system. I love the jethot coating on the pipes, I will be doing the same with my setup, just waiting on my manifold and pipes to be complete so I could send them to jethot. Anyway good luck with your sell buddy.

biggest problem i see is that it sets the turbo out to the side creating a huge lever on the manifold. Id be scared it would crack/brake

YAY !!!!!!!!!!! no fuel system

YAY !!!!!!!!!! turbo is how far from motor that exhaust temps will be cooler

YAY !!!!!!!! must relocate battery

YAY !!!!!!!!!! rely totally on Alcohol injection

sounds like a great kit to me

Hmm I am up in the air on the lack of fuel system. Yeah it sucks it doesnt come with one, and if you dont know anything about engine management it would suck to gather the parts for the kit. But for anyone who knows anything about engine management, I personally would rather pick what fuel setup I want to run. Rather than stuck with theirs. I installed a kit for ImportRacer2021 on here, and he had that POS SF kit.

AS far as the turbo being too far from teh motor, on my drag car, the turbo was just as far away, and we designed it like that. the Jethot coating is going to keep the heat from sinking into the manifold, which means it will continue to move at a fast pace, rather than slowing as it cools.

relocating the batter isnt a bit deal. It adds an extra hour or so to install, and look at the benefit of having it?

Why would the kit rely totally on ALC injection? The guy posted HP numbers and said those numbers were after using ALC. If you ran a sufficient fuel setup, you wouldnt need any sort of ALC injection.

You seem like one of those little "smartass know-it-alls" who really doesnt know as much as he thinks.

Didn't that just prove his point there? LOL. The SF kit dosent run sufficient fuel so alchy is added to up da boost safley =) I woudlr ather run to acohol b/c I know I'd forget to refil lol

i still dont like the turbo out to the side instead of below the manifold. too much stress on the manifold

He answers more questions that people have on this site (and correctly to boot) more times than anyone else here, so I beg to differ with that statement.

Well I answered questions on here for a month or so for all the turbo junkies. I reached god status to some degree, but when I finished the turbo project I Was doing for a friend, I quit coming.

Hey, the HKS manifold places the t25 turbo right out to the side ot it, and thats what I'm gonna get lol, I hope i dont loose those fans or anything.. =*( ROFL Lets not argure about this anymore, the title of the thread was who's kit is this.. and I think we've made the decision =)
