What is the best turbo set up for a stock 08 civic si? I plan to go turbo this summer. All info will be helpful THANK YOU. One that I found was AJP but I heard some bad reviews on it. I just want your guy's opinion on it.

I don't think there actually IS a good/reliable setup out there for the K20z3 yet...

AJP, Cybernation Motorsports, Greddy, etc...
I've heard of nightmares with all of them. But there's also people out there with these kits that don't have any issues, so take that for what you will.

Thanks man. Dang that still leaves me undecided about going turbo. Well I will be looking at going N/A too but is thier any other ecu upgrades/reflash out their for our car other then Hondata? The plan is to achieve atleast 250+ whp any links or opinion will be helpful. Also who in town will you guys let work on your car? I am from the Tulsa area...just moved here from Detroit not to long ago so help a fellow car enthusiust out.

Haha. I Hit just under 260WHP with an intake and 75shot nitrous...haha.

Street2uned · 01-09-2008, 04:39 PM

I've been running the AJP kit since Nov of 06 and I love it. I don't have any issues and I'm making just over 350whp at 7psi. You should give them a call if you have any questions. The number is on their website. AJ Performance - AJ Performance, llc

Good luck!

Thanks man. Oh what MODS are you running? Stock internals or built?

Street2uned · 01-09-2008, 08:13 PM

Stock internals. 3" exhaust from the turbo back. Fuel return system. ACT 6 puck sprung clutch. Other than that, just the AJP turbo kit with the upgraded turbo charger.

berlinas2k2 · 01-09-2008, 11:22 PM

pics?

Street2uned · 01-10-2008, 05:30 AM

I'm planning on givin' it a bath this weekend and taking more pics...but these are a few I have for now.

PhoR11 · 01-10-2008, 01:52 PM

DAMN you and your GGM Si!!!
(I waited 3 months trying to find that color with no luck)

Street2uned · 01-10-2008, 09:04 PM

LOL. I stopped by the dealer to buy an S2K, but they wanted way too much. Then they mentioned that a new Si just rolled off the truck. So I went back and saw it sittin' there, covered in plastic. I popped the hood...sat in it and rolled thru the gears, then went in and started signing paper work. No test drive...hell I didn't even start it. But you're right, GG is hard to find.

berlinas2k2 · 01-11-2008, 11:17 AM

haha.. post that dyno

^^ you running the hondata reflash as well? ^^

I'm SERIOUSLY considering doing this for my car (the reflash, not the turbo), as I'm sure it makes it quite a bit easier to track with.
(larger window to stay in vtec makes picking cornering speeds and gears easier I would assume...)

At only 7psi I would assume it won't affect the reliability of the car by a whole lot.
That's a lot of added HP from a relatively low amount of boost... VERY nice.

**ErichPryde** · 01-11-2008, 06:41 PM

I was under the distinct impression that at least a couple of the current turbos and superchargers were using hondata to tune the ECU for FI. for example, I know that Hondata tunes the computer to work with the Comptech Supercharger... and I read a thread on here in which it was used to tune for a turbo.

haha. They are warm in the garage...the work's are taking their place for a little while.

PhoR11 · 01-12-2008, 01:08 AM

I happen to like the work meister's WAY better than the GP's...
I don't know what it is, but they just plain go with that car

**ErichPryde** · 01-12-2008, 01:10 AM

I'm not saying they look bad- but those mugens.... meeee--OW!
