I am about to install my first turbo ever. I have no idea how to figure out what turbo to use. I have read all the newbie boards and it has confused me even more. Could someone please help? It is for a 2004 Honda Civic Si. The car is currently stock. I already have the Greddy E-Manage, OBX turbo manifold, Turbo XS Type H RFL BOV, and a no name 8.7 psi 38mm wastegate. This is the turbo I am thinking about:

V-Band T04E T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo
"O" Trim
.50 / .70
WET FLOATING BALL BEARINGS
1/8 NPT OIL INLET / STAGE IV WHEEL
.70 A/R Turbine Housing
Compressor housing 0.50 A/R
Standard T3/T4 Flange

 

that should bolt to your Ssautochrome package (i take it what you have, since its the same as the parts listed).
and is that an SSAC turbo as well? i know they advertise that bit of info like that.

dont forget you'll need more that just those parts for a turbo kit. your definetly going to need fuel upgrades with a 50/70 turbo and any amount of boost. this includeds a injector and fuel pump upgrade (i suggest RC injectors and walbro pumps)

 

do your research before you're out of a car for a week waiting on people for help.

 

I am not going to start putting the turbo n until I have all the pieces. I still need to get my intercooler and piping, injectors, and fuel pump. I think that is all I should need. I got the turbo off EBAY from (2912jonathan). Ssautochrome wanted a lot more $ for the same turbo. I think it was a good deal for $250. The BOV set me back $65. The header was $235, the wastegate $125, and the E-manage was $260. If I am missing something please let me know. I think I that should be everything though.

 

Oh should I go with 550cc saturated injectors or the peak and hold style injectors? Does anyone happen to know which ones fit the '04 Civic SI (part number)?

 

I don't know a lot about the newer civics, but i'm guessing the saturated ones will just plug right in.

 

Unless you plan on getting a new engine for your car, Do not use the Greddy E-manage!!!

 

e-manage, is that the blue box, or that computer screen type deal, cause ive heard lots of good things about that and it doubles as a boost gauge and a few other things

 

don't forget a boost control
