I can, but I don't live in NJ. There is a drag track out there... oh shit, what is the name... Englishtown I think. Go there on an ameture night and look for someone. We used to race out there a couple times a year. Nice track, and some smart dudes would show up there.
Where do you live? If its close enough, I will stop by if you want me to. I actually live about 15 minutes from Enlgishtown, but I dont think I can trust a stanger installing a turbo.
he lives in North Carolina, I dont think that is "close enough" I have installed a Few Turbo's... DOnt like them though, dont have the right sound. (if you figure out what I was talking about you get a cookie B)
If seth can do the install for free or for some nominal fee, I will gladly go down to North Carolina Mike, is that some kind of reference to an American V8 engine?
They suck they don't blow You don't want to know how much I charge to install a turbo on a non-turbo car
There is NO WAY (mark my words) that you'll get a shop to install a turbo on a non-turbo car for $600. Personally, I'd go this route... Rather than paying some shop to kludge together some custom turbo kit for your car, and having to endure all the custom fabrication, welding of manifolds, and general faith that they know what they are talking about, and their knowledge on sizing of the componentry is based on reality... I'd just buy the GReddy turbo kit for the Civic. I know for my gen Civic that kit was cheap... under $1,600 when it came out... I'd bet it's still under $2K, or around that. Your gen Civic should be similar, if not the same kit, since the motor is the same, layout, everything, I believe. I helped my friend install one - compared to the Jackson Racing supercharger I installed on my Civic, it was a piece of cake. It'll still take you a weekend, but it's very much a DIY-able kit. And the results were great... I love my supercharger, but that GReddy kit was just as powerful - and more tunable in the long run.
