Keep it under 500rwhp and make sure you have a good tune and you should be fine.

That is the way to go if you want your stock block to live.
By the way, you can have insane power with stock heads even Just ask TURBOGT off of here.

well, i guess for the price it may be a good deal, but not exactly sure of the quality such as the material of the intercooler or piping and what not. it should do tho since u want low boost anyway.

I have a ProTurbo 67mm kit i'll be installing on my TFS h/c/i 302 and from what i've been reading, should be putting down somewhere around 500-525rwhp(kinda pushing it),on 10psi. If i get mine installed before yours i'll let you know how it does.

Yeah Devo your car is going to move pretty good. I don't think someone that is use to driving a Civic should really hop into a car that has 500rwhp, he should start slow like with cam and intake or even H/C/I. Just to get the feel for real horsepower and then go from there....Or even put a turbo on a stock motor, that would get down too... [ June 24, 2009, 04:56 PM: Message edited by: Greasy ]
