greddy turbo ?
 

just wondering if anyone has one or if anyone has heard anything about this turbo . im pretty new to perfomance mods and i dont have any yet on my car , a '97 civic lx , no vtech . would this turbo be suitable for a daily driver , i dont plan to race , just want some added hp . i would like some added hp , but still want reliability . thanks for any help .

i've heard a little something about it. ;)

sweet . the only thing is , is that i just looked up on greddy's site and i dont think they make a turbo kit for my model civic . im not familar with engine names like the numbers , so if they do by any chance let me know . thanks .

You have a D16Y7; greddy's kit was meant for for a d16z6 (92-95 Civic EX). BUT this kit will work for your motor. :yes:

you might want to get an EX intake manifold, though, which makes modding the charge piping easier since your car has the verticle throttle body. but everything will bolt up fine. the blue box (Fuel Control Unit ... FCU that greddy supplies to control fuel delivery and timing) will need to be rewired to make it adapt to an OBDII ECU since it was originally intended for OBDI.

I run this kit on my D16Y8 (96-2000 EX). i like it a lot though i wish it came a little more complete.

its VTEC, not VTECH. VTECH is a phone.

ok . VTEC . thanks , ill look into getting one for my car then . how hard to you think it would be to install in the non vtec version ? also if by any chance you may know how much a shop might charge to install something like this . thanks .

You must have a really special Phone.
Must be a really nice Phone.
Do You Cuddle with it ?!?



j/k :D :D :D

It will install on your non-VTEC motor the exact same way as it would on a VTEC motor.

it's a bolt-on affair, but if you haven't done it before, have a helping friend assist you. if you want a shop to do it, they usually charge around $700 plus another $100+ to do the BOV and maybe $150+ for the intercooler. i had a shop install my turbo kit/BOV/intercooler for $700 out the door ... good hook-ups. ;)

Trabbadoor: If you're new to modding, don't have a lot of mechanical know how, and aren't really sure what to do, the GReedy kit is a good start. If it was the other way around, you could custom build and install your own setup for about half the price. GReedy makes some great kits and they are very friendly. Give them a call and they should be able to help you with all your needs.

True that...i would go greddy..well im going to go greddy...just for the fact that I have heard they are the best kits to install

Go custom Sheany, you'll save in thel long run.

Don't you have a phone to go cuddle... or are you just going stick around and correct people in this thread ?!?!

a junk yard, local news paper, ebay...

i got my rhb5 turbo for 20 buts, seen them sell on ebay for 200+
got my hf manifold for 25 bucks, ebay, over 100.

got both in local paper classified section. Got a intercooler and oil cooler at junk yard, 10 bucks each. volvo oil cooler and 1st gen eclipse IC.
