Edelbrock honda turbo kits


I don't think the bolt on kit is for the B16B though. B16B runs a higher compression than B16A, so a complete turbo setup would require lots more stuff like low com pistons, etc. But the kit does look really neat.

Has anyone heard/used this turbo kits ? What do you guys think ? it comes with complete package.

one of the best complete kits out there if your hp goal is around 300whp and you want fast spool!

if you get the one designed for US spec 99-00 civic SI it should be plenty safe as people run them here in california with 91 octane and civic si is 10.4:1 compression, so b16b is 10.8 but most countries use much higher octane fuel so it should be fine.
 
Ok,

How much are these kits and can they be shipped to the UK??

what else is needed to get this to run? ie new ECU or programable ECU?? what is the best set up for this kit?
 
performer X kit $4500 USD
victor X kit $3500 USD

performer X kit comes with all fuel management and pretuned and is 100% bolt on and drive with no extra parts needed.

Victor X kit does not include any fuel management or tunning.
 
The ecu that comes with it is rather basic. For $1k, i think you can get better standalones. But of course that will come with the trouble of tuning.
 
so its about between £2100 and £2700 UK money at todays exchange plus import costs???

better start saving!!!
 
Blinx is your engine a B16b ? if so didnt you use a thick headgasket to lower the comp ?
would this help a lot if i was to use stock internals ?

Cheers

yes, using a thicker headgasket is a very good idea in my opinion, a lot of people disagree but 10.8 is a bit too high for anything over 7psi. i think the performer X kit with its pretuned ecu and the higher octane UK fuel should be safe but a thicker headgasket like a .050" will bring you down to 10:1 compression which is much safer :nice:

i personally used a b16a block with low compression piston :nice:
 
You told me i could safely get 200-240 whp with stock internals what woul that be in hp ? If i was to change the headgasket to a thicker one could i reliably push a bit more out of it ? My aim is for 300 hp but most important is the reliability.
 
Blinx,

Also, to be in the safe side and also to run close to 300whp, which piston/Cp would you recommend ?

Thanks

a 10:1 piston is fine. You could even get away with using the stock rods, though for any degree of reliability, I would get the rod bolts replaced with hardware from ARP as well.

On the issue of reliability, don't forget to vent your crankcase properly particularly when under boost.

crome or even hondata would do a fine job at much less than $1k.

300bhp = 255whp and that 200-240 estimate was if you had a b16b, b16a can make a bit more power safely. a .065" headgasket will bring you down to 9.64:1 compression which is just about perfect for boost.

Wiseco or Ross are my personal favorites, Probe is not bad either for the price, Eagle rods are excellent also. I like going low, around 9.5:1 is good and leaves plenty room on the table to make more power on street fuel if you ever step up to a bigger turbo.

Hmm your one of those high compression + boost guys huh? i totally disagree, go low low low, leaves room for more power and all that off boost sluggishness can be tuned out with proper ign timing etc... at 8.3:1 my car drives fine off boost and can take plenty of abuse on boost even with our crappy california 91 octane fuel.

Rod bolts are a good idea but eagle rods are so cheap these days why not just step up?

Venting crankcase very important indeed :nice:

or neptune RTP, apexi Power FC, etc... plenty of options thast for sure


Ridox said:
Pardon me, but I haven't heard of Crome before.

that's cause its junk! OH DAMN!! don't kill me RagingAngel lol...

hey we're all entitled to our opinions... :) but the case here for other potential boost addicts outside of Cali is that they have access to higher octane fuel.

Perfect for higher compression (10:1) particularly with their modest goals of 300bhp.

high compression, ITBs and boost. This represents the anti-Christ for blinx in other words :p

not at all, im not saying it cant be done, with meth and 25% 114octane fuel (which that car in the link has) he could even run 11.0! i know damn well most turbocharged drag cars run 10+ compression but there running methanol or alcohol which allows that, not only does it resist detonation much better but it also cools the combustion chamber. but at the end of the day for a street driven car that does not have water/meth injection and only access to 91 octane fuel that is +-3 i say go low, very low, you know what happens with boost, today you want 300bhp, tomorrow you want 400bhp...

what grade fuel is in UK i dont know the ron to octane conversion, and is it anything like in the US were it can be + or - 3 points?
 
We can 99 ron fuel over here in the uk. I would be happy with 255whp would the standard drive shafts be ok ?
 
Before Tony The Tiger did his current setup, he was running 11.5:1 at one time with 94 Octane from Chevron.

Being in Canada has its perks sometimes :p

But understandably, people build for their preferences and personal goals. Originally, he did it for response and the car would act like a large V6 instead of a boosted 4. He succeeded brilliantly in that aspect.

Rich777: 255whp is fine with the driveshafts if you don't plan to drag race on slicks all the time. I would be more concerned with the clutch to be honest.
