Who can possibly tell the future? Greddy is tried and true for the most part, but don't expect big gains. If I were honestly going to buy a turbo kit, I'd wait to see what redshift come out with and full race.

I would never turbo any car that was NA from the factory. If Im gonna boost im gonna boost as in 15+PSI. Try to do that on a stock bottom ended K20Z3 and listen to the motor blow. I love having an all motor FG2. One day when my motor eventually goes bad (probably 400K miles being a reliable honda) I might rebuild with low compression pistons and other FI supporting internal mods. I am however curious to see what redshift puts out for us.

The 2 kits that are popular now are both quality kits, this year should have another 1 or 2 out on the market and you'd just have to wait and see how they work out.

I prefer making a very good amount of power without having to rebuild, and I am.

Dude are you serious....
YouTube - K20 Civic 42 psi

Pretty sure 15 psi with a correct tune won't crunch the K20.

The K20 is a really strong motor. Although it has already a high compression piston, the bottom end can handle a lot of power. The stock block has forged internals which is the reason why it could handle a lot of power. But your motor will last as long on how well your car is tuned.

Have you seen a bottom end of the Honda's. They are strong then most and have iron sleeves but the rods are small. The head work they have on Honda's are amazing. I would agree if you stay under 400whp (10psi) these engines could last with proper maintenance.

Is it true that the Z3 is cast iron sleeved from the factory. Cant find anything to confirm what some people have said.
