Edelbrock if you can afford it. It's dual ball bearing :naughty:

PM SleeperCivicEX, he's pretty good with boost stuff.

hih

greddy makes a 6th gen turbo kit now, i think the only difference is a bigger turbo and the e-manage instead of the blue box(). Edlebrock only has the kit out for the z6 i think.

Actually, ALL Greddy kits come with an E-Manage and aluminum piping now. Either the 92-95 15G kit or 96-00 19T kit can be used on ANY of the SOHC 92-00 1.6L Civics.
The largest difference between the two major kits for the D-series is -
1. 15G turbo is only capable of approx 250whp and does NOT come with RC injectors
2. 19T turbo is capable of 300whp, comes with RC 310cc injectors, and had E-Manage programmed for the 310's

All these kits include: turbo, piping, mounting hardware. They are made to run as-is out of the box.

Recommended additions to a kit: FMIC, BOV (w/flange), boost gauge, boost controller (Profec E-01 can tune the E-Manage w/o a laptop), and exhaust.
