reving to 6k, dumping the clutch and not moving.......priceless
I give up. stupid dsmWhy would you do that in a DSM. You know that they break. haha. i know that buying from online stores and ebay are a buyer-be-ware thing. and no, the kit isnt off of ebay. i have been screwed off ebay before. hey torbs remeber the Z. haha

i think i am just going to go with the greddy kit. Im not going to be running any insane amounts of boost, prolly 7-8psi. and the greddy kit comes with everything except the following to be able to run it:
Fuel pump
Injectors
Boost Controller
Fuel Preasure regulator
BOV
Boost Guageeventually i would get an intercooler and new piping, but that would be later on.
So for 1400 plus the cost of the Injectors, Fuel Preasure reg, BOV, MBC, Fuel pump and boost guage that will be good enough for me.
-
but if you want you can buy my 450's and afc!

the BOV and fuel stuff are for when i crank up the boost past the stock 5.5psi. i have done shitloads of research on the greddy kit and if you go past the stock boost settings they recomend a boost guage, BOV, FMIC, Injectors, Fuel pump, Fuel Preasure regulator and of course, lots of tuning. They say E-manage can handle any amount of boost unless it requires some massive injectors like 800cc and i am planning on running about 7-8 sometime this summer. But for now just the greddy kit will be fine.
also, i forgot to mention that the greddy kit after you upgrade the fuel system and get a BOV and front mount, is good for 15psi.
-
no way 15 psi!
:rolleyes: ....now buy my 450's and AFC -

There's a concept here on how to make power and still use the stock motor w/o running that much boost.
-
who else can see harwood setting his boost at 15 psi...going down the track and revving it past 9k again?! hahahah

i dont get you harwood...why wont you listen to what nick is saying? im sure he knows a hell of a lot more about this stuff than you, so i don't get why you keep on saying something is "really good" when somebody with a lot of experience is saying not to get it...that and after everything with the greddy kit you are still gonna spend $2kish...so why not just get it done right for $500 more? isnt quality worth anything to you man?
-
oh, i see what you are saying man...im totally on your side with this still...i dont get why he would spend 2k on that stuff when he could get a better quality setup for a bit more...his money though, we can just laugh at him when we see him in our rear view mirrors

Btw you guys, the reason why i would get the greddy kit is because of the reliability. The greddy kit is very reliable, moddable, comes with E-manage, and bolts right up(no welding or cutting) IM not saying i couldnt get a more powerful kit, but i want it to be as stretable as possible and this is also my daily driver. im not looking to be the fastest civic in the world here, i am just hoping to be able to break the 13's and possibly 12's. and torbs, this isnt just a race car like yours, this is also going to be a nice car too, so i dont need anything that puts down tons of power, im just looking to turbo my civic. I am not saying that tufte is wrong, im just not looking for a super powerful kit. If i was looking for a really powerful kit i would buy his turbo kit for a little more. Also, i am not planning on upping the boost from the stock 5.5psi for a couple months after i get the kit. so it would be 1400 plus install and tuning. than i would get a clutch, FMIC, BOV, MBC, and some more tuning. so it is just what i am looking for.

god damn kid, you say shit that i dont even say. The greddy kit is one of the most reliable kits out ther on a stock motor. SLS's kit would be harder on my motor because i would push it more. Plus the greddy kit is one of the most reliable, streetable, carb legal kits out there. I would love to have SLS's kit, but its not really what im looking for. If i was building a strict race car yes, but i wouldnt spend that much to turbo a more show car that race car, also because i have to do alot of body work too, bodykit and paint. the money i would save going the greddy way i would spend on my body kit.
