Yeah I posted something about that turbo a long time ago. I was thinking of getting it but I was told its cheap and it will be more hassle than its worth. But idk someone might actually have it and like it.

yeah it's the TSI kit it's not a garrett, Garrett is just the turbine. It's okay at best there is a lot of info on it already if you search. I wouldn't run any turbo kit with out K-pro but that is just me

the hardware in the turbo kit is fine if you aren't looking for huge numbers, but the fuel system is complete and total crap. you will need injectors and an engine management system in addition to the actual kit.

Ok thanks guys just checkin cuz im new to forced induction and ive been researchin everywhere, i was offered Dezod but ill look that up too

****** the dezod before no parts are left. I think they are discontinuing production of their turbo kit for the d17.

 
Rep Power: 287

thats because nobody wants his overpriced parts LOL

Its because people are too cheap to buy quality parts. Dezod is a great company to deal with and they stand by their products. I'm using one of their turbo kits, I'm the second owner of it and its still pulling strong with no problems out of their parts. It has around 25k on the turbo so far, no complaints yet.

No George is right dezods prices are steep. and I hate to break it to you but it's not the best parts out there Paul at dezod is a really nice guy but the parts are lacking you shouldn't need to hack your car up to get the manifolds to fit. I remember when they put out the kit the said you had to unbolt half the motor mounts and rock the motor back and forth to get the turbo and exhaust mani to fit. Sorry but that is just wrong turbo kits shouldn't be that much of a pain. there is a reason why everyone in the dc area builds there own kits. And trust me George knows probably better than almost anyone on here about the production of those kits.

find a Talon or Mitsubishi's GT25 or GT28 i forget which but depends if you are DD the car or setting up for track

go with that AEM FI/C that they are selling with it, and you will need RSX-S injectors. I have this kit and the fuel management was a joke, everything else was good for DD.

too cheap... lawls i wont even get into this useless pissing match into you. just because Paul already said it, i wont get into it. plus its friday. bravo on you having a good experience though

 
Rep Power: 238

Hmm.. maybe I have had a good experience with it. I fully realize that it is a possibility. My intention wasn't to get into a big argument, but you have to admit it is better quality than most anything on the market for the d17. And I bought it used, so I missed most of the price argument. Anyway, I'll stand corrected and assume I just missed most of the headaches with it.

I think I can get TSI kits @ dealer price? My tuner sent me an email from them about the kits.

their are a lot of things wrong with the dezod kit, even though one of the easiest to obtain and better than the tsi kit which is why a lot of people run it. but a turbo kit shouldn't be that difficult to install the parts could have been made a lot better. I would trade at least half of dezod 7thgen turbo inventory for george's turbo manifold and his intercooler piping kit, any day of the week. there is better stuff out there but you have to look hard keep your eye out and for the most part piece it together yourself that is the only way you will get a really nice turbo kit.

another note George does not post up as much as other people but he is one of those people that I would listen to what ever he said cause he doesn't just repeat stuff he reads and everything he says he usually can back up with personal experience or cause he has gotten the info from a very reliable source. He has grown up with all the big 7thgen guys from the dc area like andy, justin, edwin, and rob and he has done his home work on everything



Oh also the AEM fic is junk these cars hate piggy backs stand alone is the best thing if you want reliable headache free engine mangement

AEM FI/C is junk? Piggybacks are fine if you aren't going for huge numbers. There is already a post on this debate. Don't knock something just because you don't want to use it.

 
Rep Power: 238

I'm not doubting you two here. I generally don't say things that I don't know from experience either. My good experience with dezod's kit may have a lot to do with someone installing it before me and getting all the kinks worked out before I even bought it and then I changed it a lot right when I got it. Another factor may be that this is the only turbo kit I've ever installed. But peakboost should have their kit out soon and we'll see how the fitment is on those pieces.

On that one, I will disagree. I have used F/iC for over 6 months and while it works, it is not satisfactory at all. I am one of the few people who hasn't had many problems out of it and I still don't want to use it. But alas, summer classes have stolen all of my tuning money for the shiny EMS sitting in my room.

Piggy backs aren't fine. It is not just big kits were it is pretty much required it's also for small kits the headaches and the extra money spent trying to fix everything when using a piggy back is just not worth it. Yes you can squeeze by with a piggy back but that's about the best you will do. I have seen these car's with both piggy backs and standalone's and I have worked on both even the ones the piggy backs were actually behaving their is still a night and day difference between the two.

I'm not knocking it because I don't want to use it. If they actually worked like they are supposed to and actually do on some cars believe me that would be all I would run. But they don't and that is why I am Knocking it cause piggy backs are a piece of crap on 7thgen civics!

Look you can't adjust the Idle which is a very big thing! cause that means you can't really run a cam, or bore out the exhaust ports on the head a little bit, or change manifolds up, you can't even get to crazy with the exhaust. If you change the air flow dynamics in the car you need to be able to adjust the idle to compensate.
You will pretty much have to carry a scanner with you cause you will be throwing a new code every week, if you don't keep an eye on it the stock ecu will take over and then you will lean out in boost. you really can't tune for partial throttle for ****. the list goes on and on.


I know their is already post on this and I won't argue the fact that you can get away with a piggy but it is not the same as a standalone ask any one that is running a standalone on these cars if they would ever go back to a piggyback. these cars just don't respond to piggybacks other cars do.

turbo kits cost anywhere from $2000 to $5000+ depending on what you do trust me when I say stay on the ramen noodle diet a little longer and save up. you will save a lot more money in the long run and you will be happier guaranteed.





Baron I'm not trying to harp on you. Just dezod is not highly looked upon by some of us there is a little history there between certain people.

and lol I feel you on the classes mine start monday at 9 in the morning
