im quite new to the tuner world here so i was wondering if this is a good turbo kit:

Garrett T3/04 Turbo, brand new - $900
* TiAL 38mm wastegate, brand new - $280
* GReddy RS BOV, brand new - $260
* GReddy emanage, brand new - $480
* GReddy pressure sensor, purchased used - $90
* GReddy ignition harness, brand new - $60
* GReddy injector harness, brand new - $60
* Dezod complete PnP wiring harness, wired for emanage ultimate - $120
* RSX injectors, purchased used - $120 Dibs to BigE19
* Johnny Race Car FMIC, brand new - $340
* SF turbo ELM, purchased lightly used - $675
* Max Rev down pipe for T3, brand new - $175
* TurboXS Manual Boost Controller - $100

What other parts would i need for this kit to complete if any
and what roughly would the price for install and tuning cost?

i have a 2002 civic lx.....i know i know i should have bought the SI

thanks in advance

you have to do some more research....

why buy a PnP harness for an emanage ultimate, if you bought a normal emanage?

Why buy the ignition and injection harnesses if you are buying the PnP harness?

What the hell is an SF ELM? Are you talking about their FMU unit? If so, why the hell would you need the emanage and RSX injectors?

What manifold are you going to use? If you are using the Max-rev downpipe, you have to use a max rev manifold. Manifolds and downpipes are not usually interchangable.

I think SF ELM = Stafford fabrication equal length manifold.
turboengnr is right why are you buying a plug and play harness for an emanage ultimate when you have a normal emanage and I didn’t know Dezod even sold a PnP harness for emanage ultimate I looked on their website and I didn’t see it? Also the reason you buy a PnP is so you don’t have to wire anything it already has the Main, Injector & Ignition harnesses wired in that’s why it’s a PnP harness so you only need to buy pressure sensor and the PnP harness for normal emanage.

You’re going to probable need custom intercooler piping since you’re using a sf manifold and a Johnny racecar intercooler and the Max Rev down pipe might not even work with the sf manifold.
Some other things off the top of my head you need are oil Lines, fittings for oil lines, couplers for intercooler pipes, and a air filter. Some things you might want are a boost gauge, Colder Spark Plugs, more free flowing exhaust system.

I know I might be forgetting some things but that’s all I could think of for now also you might want to consider buying a complete kit, because you roughly have about $3330 in cost already for the stuff you want/need and you will still need to buy more and that would put you around the same price range as a complete kit from somewhere like Dezod and you know it should all work together.

Installation should be between $200-$1500 and tuning should be between $150-$800

This is part of my research "turbo." thats why i havent bought this kit yet. like i said im brand new with this whole turbo thing, good thing i asked because i dont even know wtf half these parts are.

hes also taking $1000 less than what the total price is. sooo could you guys list for me what parts are useless.

oh and i do have an aftermarket exhaust system already(rs*r exmag)


thank you very much for you help

Save the $$ on the SF EL manifold. If you going to spend $650 on a cheated and fudged cut mild steel manifold that flows like crap, spend an extra $100 and get our EL RACE V1 Manifold for $750.

BTW, some corrections on your pricing. We have TIAL 38mm gates cheaper:

E-Manage: $299

BOV central all under your price:

If you buy our PnP, you do not need to supply the harnesses. (Includes Main, Injector & Ignition)

We could probably build you a real nice BAR & PLATE intercooler of 28"W x 3.5"D x 7"H for the same price as the Johnny RACE CAR I/C

Some manual boost controllers
