Need your advice on turbo kit buy

[97civicSi]

Hello!
This is what I've found on the net and I think it's pretty reasonable price. What do you think about it?
Should I go for it considering that if I buy it, it will pretty much clean my assets out of bank account.

Brand new (0km) Garret T25 .48 A/R
450CC DSM Injectors
Turbosmart BOV
Stainless Steal Equal length manifold (braced)
Large Intercooler (will get exact measurements) (new)
Tuner Toys Oil line kit
SAFC (Gen 1)
MBC
All new gaskets, air filter etc

Only SAFC and Injectors are slightly used.

Price is $1000.

Right now I've full 2.5" stainless steel, mandrel bent exhaust on my car + Highflow cat. I think it's pretty sweet for turbo setup.

that is a good price for what you're gettin'. It's also a small ass turbo. what's it going on anyway?

 

[Mr. Lin]

Just make sure that if it's going on a civic, not to overboost such a small turbo.

That's like a stock MSP turbo.

 

[Rubixcu7]

i think that same turbo is on my lil brothers go-ped

..

Funny.
I know that turbo is small and all but from what I know is that Garret T25 is also used on SR20DET engines if I'm not mistaken.

 

[iamcivic]

It is small, but it spools in like 2secs.

Hey man, just buy my turbo. You get complete greddy 19t kit plus 31 FMIC and turbo xs bov =$1,800 before it goes on ebay for a little more.

but you gotta remember....thats a 2.0 liter displacement with a solid stock bottom end and they push close to 1 bar of boost stock. Try running one bar of boost on a stock 1.6 liter SOHC and you'll be shopping for a new engine in no time

 

[SeanMc300]

sounds like a good deal, id pick it up.

wahahahaha... oh so true. Honda blocks aren't like Nissan blocks. Does Nissan make a single weak bottom end?

 

[child_racer]

not that I know of. Even the USDM models are built pretty tough. A friend of mine just did a JDM S14 swap in his 1990 240 and after he wired up the boost gauge, he was already hittin' 17psi around 6500rpms.

 

[Mr. Lin]

I know stock k24s can handle a decent amount of boost.

Mike says they're a sturdy block as well.

 

[child_racer]

yeah they can. Surprisingly the K20A and K20A2 are quite strong stock. I spend a good deal of time on clubRSX and they run their stock engines with 8psi daily and pull nearly 300 whp and the K20A2 has an 11.0 : 1 compression ratio

its a good street turbo... it will definitely give you more go, and you wont have to worry about turbo-lag and torque-related stress issues. (big jerk of torque = broken axles, cv's, etc)
