Girlfiend's EJ became my EJ Build

[DatEM1]

Girlfriend got a new car so guess what I get to have! So here she was when I first bought it from my girlfriend. 1998 Civic Ex 5 speed bone stock.

As she stands now

Under the hood for now.

Some interior goodies have been purchased.

Si gauges plus a digital tach.

NRG e brake and floor mats and air freshener(adds 5 hp)

Suspension work is as follows.

KYB AGX shocks w/ H&R OE Sport Springs .75" drop (old rims in picture)

NRG Front and Rear sturt bars(front in under hood pic)

Brakes(ebay ones since ive had good luck with them in the past)

Rims I have now are Buddy Club P1s w/ Pirreli P6s all around.

This will be a turbo build. I already picked up the Greddy 15g mani and will be aiming for 225hp or above. I will keep updated. I have a brand new DC muffler im going to be having put in next week also.

Good luck with that Greddy setup. It makes pretty good torque down low, you'll thank yourself if you have a custom downpipe made for it though.

That's an EJ not an EK.

Good luck with the build.

Ahh stupid me. And thank you.

And finding a turbo for this mani seems hard. I might have to get the Nissan turbo off the 300zx but not sure. Can't find the greddy 15g anywhere

 

[xxBLOOD88SHOTxx]

Oh you don't have the turbo?

Good luck finding one, they haven't made one in probably ten years.

The Nissan T25 seems to fit but I would research it as much as possible.

If the Nissan T25 fits then a disco potato should too.

Lol disco potato? What is that? And I want to call greddy and see what outrageous price they give. The turbo is still listed on their site.

A badass turbo. I believe they changed it a bit so finding the original will be difficult

Call Greddy? Didn't they go bankrupt like 6 years?

I had a greddy kit on my GSR and the wastegate went bad on the dyno. Unfortunatly for me I couldn't find a replacement because they had gone bankrupt and weren't making replacement parts. I ended up ditching the whole thing.

Their website says they had a sale at the Irvine location today.

guess they still sell some s***

As to what I have no clue, I don't see anything new on that site and it looks like they mainly cater to Scion and Nissan. Mostly just decals and bolt-ons.

 

[DatEM1]

I just saw call for price next to the 15g so I assumed there was a chance they still have a few in stock. I need to check this disco potato out lol.

 

[xxBLOOD88SHOTxx]

Hey by all means give them a shout

Honestly even a regular S14 T28 will make your goals with ease.

Greddy is still alive and well. They mainly do FRS stuff but I have a lot of their rx7 s**t.

 

[xxBLOOD88SHOTxx]

Well I guess their demographic has changed then

The guy I bought the mani from has a 90-96 300zx Garrett that he will sell for $45 lol. I'll most likely get it rebuilt and work with that since it was the one that he originally ran on that manifold.

What's your budget for the boost build? Greg at Go-Autoworks makes some great turbo kits.

 

[mymmeryloss]

I have a gt35 chinacharger for sale bnib

 

[DatEM1]

Well no real budget limit. I will buy piece by piece which will allow me financially to buy quality parts. I find it fun to and I have time for plenty of research on what I'm buying. Will a gt35 fit the greddy flange?
