mga boss/tsikoters need your help... where can i buy a turbo kit for civic lxi 95??? brand new or second hand??? and how much will it cost me??? tnx more power to tsikot.com...

Sir, first of all, LXi 95? or LX, I think the EK series started 96 and ended y2k. Anyway, You just dont put a turbo kit on a stock engine. IMO, a change engine is more suitable. There lots of honda engines there that can handle a turbo. Cheapest would be a B16 upgrade, if you're running on stock engine (if that is an LXi, it should be a D15b engine). If you have the moolah to burn, get a B16b Type-R or B18c then install a Unichip (w/c may cost at around 10k php if your lucky) then, better change your stock internals. Get a good header, then start shopping for a turbocharger kit. Go to SpeedLab, those people are very good in installing such stuff, you might get a free dyno run too.

tnx boss... i guess i'll take your advice... tnx...

kahit d15 lang. you're currently carburated and mahihirapan ka lang to tune it. get any injected single cam and ok na yan for turboing.

i have 100k. kasya naba turbo kit, internals, e-management ,tunning para sa SiR ko? 2nd hand parts will do. aim is 250whp

Yup. 100k is enough, provided you can source many of the parts you need surplus or have them locally fabricated for cheap.

Brand-new engine management is about 30,000 pesos at a good shop, and it'll include installation and dyno-tuning. You can leave that till last (just keep the car on low boost or completely off boost till then) so you can hit two birds with one stone.

Secondhand engine management can be had for a low price, but you'll still have to pay installation and about 4k - 5k an hour for dyno-tuning... puwede rin street-tuning, though, if you know someone.

My friend built his entire kit for between 60-80k (with a secondhand turbine and a secondhand emanage-blue), and he's hitting over 200whp. Could be more, but his clutch starts slipping at high rpms. A brand new turbine should only add about 20-25k to that number (you can get them for 30k+, I think).

Commercial installations start at about 150k pesos, depending on the shop.

As for hitting 250whp... I know the B16 can handle the boost, but if your target is this high, you might want to budget a little more for some accessories... an oil cooler, an upgraded clutch (say goodbye to your clutch past 200 whp), maybe sleeve the block (you may not need it, but it'll give you some extra security).

Actually... I'm betting 100k pesos will net you about 200whp. Any more will cost you more money in terms of tuning, manifold design, and possibly a better or new turbine.

RE: D15B on boost... agree with the others... swap out for an EFi engine first. heck... if you're going to do that, you can swap to a B16 instead of going D15+turbo, and get similar gains with less hassle.

One interesting combo... stock B20 (CRV motor) + turbo. The B20 costs much much less than a B16... ;)
