good to hear, ive seen your vids...any reliability issues with it, im planning to put the same turbo in my r18 , im also thinkin of the weapon r power kit to go along with it....any suggestions

[AdamWirtz2001]

you should jump on 8thcivic . co m

There is a thread "r18 turbo thread" several us on there with this kit, and one guy who jus tbuilt his own kit.

It's a great kit, I recomend it. I wouldn't get anything weapon R...there stuff is poorly made. Seen several people complain about the intake and the welds falling apart. I'de wait for a better intake to come out. (their engine torque damper is crap too)

Thanks a bunch man, you changed my mind drastically, do u know any other reputable companies which make similar parts, is skunk2 any good, what exhaust should i purchase? Again, thanks a bunch!

[AdamWirtz2001]

Jump 8th civic like i mentioned. It's easier and there are several of us that can help you out.

but I have custom 3" exhaust from the turbo back with a borla straight through exhaust. I recomend custom. It's better and also probably cheaper.

Skunk2 is good though. I'm on skunk2 pro-s coilover and I'm liking those a lot.

[AdamWirtz2001]

I meant borla muffler not exhaust. Also, my name is "Apostle" on 8thcivic forums.

check my profile. There are several vids of this car running great. I've had the kit tuned and running well for 10,000 miles

[mzlanka007]

you must get that thing properly tuned its not sounding to good once you do make another vid...
