ATTN: AJP, Status of R18 turbo kit?

Kroze · 10-20-2006, 10:18 AM

How is it going? smoothly or are you having troubles?

stevenshizzle · 10-20-2006, 10:45 AM

I hope they make a turbo kit for the R18 so it can have 198 HP and blow the doors off all of the stock Civic Si's out there!

does anyone have an idea on how much installing a turbo kit would be from a shop? i def do not want to do it myself. Also what kind of gas would we have to use? and what kind of gas milage would we get w/ a turbo? and.....is it legal emissions wise?

Turbos require continuous up-keep and can cause big problems for those people who don't know what they're doing. I'd look into a supercharger before a turbo, unless your knowledgable. Alot more to a turbo than just installing it and driving fast. S/C's are more plug and play...

Kroze · 10-20-2006, 10:42 PM

I know that they have a donor car in a while ago. I'm just curious on how they're doing with it and whether there are any set-backs.

el_ben2 · 10-20-2006, 11:54 PM
