I was looking into the edelbrock turbo kit for my 2000 civic ex d16y8. Has anyone heard anything about these kits? Are they good? are they upgradeable.?? Does anyone have one of these kits in there civic? Hows the power? any information would help. thanks

 

The Edelbrock kit is very nice. Expensive but nice. In all honesty though. You should do some research and learn how to piece together your own kit. In the long run you'll learn about motors, how a turbo works, how to put a kit together, what parts compliment eachother and what don't, and how to save a couple thousand dollars. Eventhough these expensive kits all rave about bolting right on, there is a lot to know about using a turbocharger.

 

I really dont know how to go about piecing together my own kit, and doesnt that take so much longer??

 

Not at all. I sourced all my parts in about a month. The grand total was about 850$ and every part was brand name and new except for the turbocharger, which I rebuilt, the DSM injectors, and turbo manifold.

If you search this forum and go to www.homemadeturbo.com you will find tons of useful information and all the parts you need. In my opinion, the only good thing about complete bolt on turbo kits is they are usually always CARB legal which is great for people in CA.

 

I thought you already got a turbo off ebay.

 

I (and Chris - swaggs21) installed one on his car. It's a nice, fully complete kit. Does quite well on the Y8.
