turbo kit

[nighthwkblk05]

I found a turbo kit for my 05 civic here....

Honda Civic Turbo Specialties D Series Extreme Turbo Kit at PRO Civic.com


I believe it said you can just install it with no upgrades but wanted advice...I am not trying to break my car! Might be a dumb question but I dont know too much about performance mods. I just know I want my car to be faster!!!! Thanks!

it all depends on how much boost you make man theres a spec for how much boost the stock engine can take i unno how much it is but im guessing that it would be under 9 pounds of boost...if you make enough boost you are going to have to do things like change your compression ratio and even do a full rebuild top and bottom .... remember the chain is only as strong as the weakest link just because you got forged pistons and a stage turbo doesnt mean your crank will handle all of the extra pressure.

Not just that, but the sleeves, and if you will need larger injectors and so on. Its quite a bit to do. You need not only the parts which tends to be more than most people expect. But also a tune, boost and A/F mixture gauges and other parts. The crank really isn't much to worry about, unless your going for some more serious power.

definatly new injectors, and get rid f the piggyback system and go with K-pro or Hondata as EMS. Maybe a new fuel pump if you got the extra cash.

On the D17 anything over 9 psi and you need a new Intake Manifold. THere are no good aftermarket ones made so I would suggest getting one custom made
