Post Edelbrock Performer X

Hey guys I'm new to this forum but thought I could get some good insight. The question I had was....I have a 1990 Honda Civic DX Hatchback and I am wanting to drop a B series engine in it. I also have been really interested in this Edelbrock Performer X turbo. Has anyone used it in an EF? If not what kind of turbo system have you used?

Nobody uses kits here. It is way over priced for the power it makes.

I have a buddy who is using a performer on his turbo civic, made 435 whp on pump at 13 psi, getting it tuned for race gas and somewhere in the 20's for psi, looking to get high 500 whp mark, great product.

I agree with this dude. Piece together your own kit and save some money.

if the edelbrock kit is anything like the greddy kit (probably is) its a waste of alot of money just to end up with a measily 180hp on a z6
