yaseen Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 No more turbo now just so everyone knows!Its not worth the hassle tbh, going to do some other work on the car instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Probably safer to stick with the easier mods mate with the auto box. Air filter/exhaust/de-cat (if you can be bothered with the changing at mot time lol) , then possibly cams etc. You could still just go the turbo route, as there are tons of cars that have a turbo and are auto's, although they were mostly designed form the offset to have the turbo on them, so not sure how well the civic autobox would cope. Looking good so far though, and I'd go with the mgzs shocks/eibach springs, as you ideally want to keep the same springs all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave, yeah Im going to stay away from turbo at the moment, I might just end up selling the T25 and do some N/A mods instead, I think the first thing I might do is cams, because I totally forgot where I read it but cams from which D-series engine gave an extra 20 - 25hp I think Z6 or Y8 not sure though...If you remember FREAKBOY he done the turbo on auto same engine and box as mine but he spend £££'s and time on it which I dont think Im willing to do atm. And lol having a hard time atm with the rear springs and shocks lol!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing to do IMO is to sell that turbo, save up for a decent (not eBay aka Chinese garett copy) turbo kit, plus a ecu and a few supporting mods AND gearbox!

By the way I bought the same plate as you, I saw your sig picture and had to a JDM plate too!! have you got a 12x6? I just bought one and it looks so much better!!!Turbo is out of the question now I guess, next mod for me might be to overhaul the rear calipers as they are 50% seized and probably paint them but cant decide what colour, black car bronze wheels, I was thinking gloss black calipers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
