Is the Edelbrock Turbo Kit the best for the D16?

[AJW]

Hey everyone I was trying to see if anyone posted anything on the new "Performer X" turbo kit for the D16 engine and couldn't find anything (please direct me to them if they are in the forum somewhere). Anyways, my question is, has anyone installed this kit yet? I own the canadian version 99 Civic Si which comes with the crappy D16 instead of the B16 and am needing more juice. This thing is DANG slow. I've researched it out and it looks like the best kit for the money. I've seen a few people with the Greddy kits, but the Edelbrock looks more complete. Please let me know your thoughts on this kit and any other information you have seen/heard/mods done to make these D16 putzer engines go faster.

thats because the canadian si is the american EX which has the d16

From what ive heard its a good setup and i think it was posted on here a while back

edelbnrocks turbo is ball bearing as well, greddy's isnt.

 

[JDM James]

Edelbrock or Greddy since it seems like you are going for a direct bolt-on kit.

the edelbrock is the most complete kit, i dont know how good it is. but ive read on like 6-7 psi you can make somewhere in the 170whp range...

I've been wondering that myself. Does anyone know if it would on a D16Z6 motor or would it take a bit of modification.

supposed to be direct bolt on.

A direct bolt on for a 96 and up EX w/ a D16Y(what ever). I'm referring to a D16Z6 out of a 93 EX. I'm wondering if they would fit the same or not.

 

[SeanMc300]

i think itll bolt right on, why not give em a call

 

[oniken]

DURRRR!!!!! Why didn't I think of it myself. Sometimes I need a kick in the ass just to get thinkin right.

check out www.turbod16.com . should have all the info you could want. btw, do a search when you get there and save yourself some time.

www.TurboD16.com.....exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks a bunch!! Man, some of them are getting some pretty decent numbers (with extensive internal work of course)

they make a direct bolt on for the d16z6. why the hell would you be looking at the one for a d16y?

get the GREDDY kit for a Z6, or if you can find one (since it has been discontinued) the A'PEXi kit is great too

i was talking about the greddy kit for the z6, i got off topic sorry.
go greddy, i have a couple friends with this kit, bolted straight on.. no fab.. and they love it.

since i'm getting a b18c swap for my civy i don't realy want to spend boo-coo bucks on a turbo for the D.
I'm keeping the D for another swap I intend to do thats why i'm askin about the performer X

 

[oniken]

i know, i actually like the A'PEXi kit better because they use a different style turbo which broadens the torque curve but it is no longer avalible
