Ok i am new to the turbo concept but after running my b16 civic down the 1/4 mile i wont show my face at the track tell i get a turbo kit. So i found the kit im going with on turbo-kit.com. So with this kit what other small parts will i need? injectors(if so what size?)Fuel rail? Fuel pump? thanks in advance.

tons of threads on this in this site to research. but, to help...what turbo kit is it exactly, also a walbro 255 fuel pump will sufice for a street car. Injectors depend on what you want out of youre set up and, are you doing any kind of engine rebuild. Rods, pistons and so on?

Thanks for reply, and for your question here is the link to the turbo http://www.turbo-kits.com/Parts/Turbo_Kits/Honda_Turbo_Kits/88-91_Civic_Turbo_Kits/ . I just want to get a car that is in the low 13's high 12's the engine has about 98k so not going to build it. I will wait tell i blow it up first(Not a daily driver) I will only run the turbo at 7 psi so that way i dont ruin the engine too quick, and once its tired i will jack it up and try to blow it. I am just looking to get the car a decent time on the 1/4 mile buying some good tires next month too. I hate when im waiting on the side line and there are people on the side lines talking s**t about how there v8 runs that stock and 4 bangers need to engine swap. so ya just want to eat some v8's up. So i figured turbo was best bet cause even with shitty tires i was taking cars off the line but they caught me :(

for 600 dollars less you can buy a kit that isnt a piece of s**t.

I have a Go-Autoworks kit myself, and it's a GREAT kit. Greg is an awesome guy and answers every question you have. Plus the quality and fitment of the parts are great. I actually highly recommend his stuff!

Nice, Thanks for the link. I was just google searching them and i want a very well built turbo. So i just went with the you get what you pay for because i was finding turbos around 1k and then i found this one at 3k so i figured that was the one, but like you said the turbo is better on that one so i will have to bookmark that for when i get the money to buy it.

Precision 580 or 680cc injectors would be more than enough. You can use a stock fuel rail also.

Thanks for everyone's help. So what i got was to get that better turbo kit for less money, Walboro fuel pump, and fuel injectors. Thanks again.

you can chip the ecu and have it tuned. I suggest you have the tuner place a basemap on the chip to get you to the dyno

This. I did this limping my car to the tuner, with an open header since I needed new exhaust work because of the downpipe. Loud as s**t on the highway lol.

Also, these are the injectors that I have, and I love them. So much better compared to the DSM blue tops that i had, lol. My tuner recommended these so I went with it:
