The new Edelbrock turbo kit is here!!!

Well I just got the Edelbrock Sport Compact catalog in the mail today. The new PerformerX turbo kits look sweet! The kit that is available now is the 96-00 Civic SOHC VTEC one, but soon to come:
99-00 SI civic
94-01 GSR integra
94-00 LS integra (oh yeah baby:D)
97-01 Type R integra

For those that don't know, heres some specs:
Garret T28 ball bearing turbo
Edelbrock Performer X manifold with secondary fuel rail and 4 additional injectors
Tial BOV
Spearco FMIC
boost gauge with A pillar mount pod
Ceramic coated piping
"state of the art electronics to control boost, fuel, and timing retard"

And it says the price expectancy is around 3500 dollars for the 96-00 Civic. So I guess us Integra owners can atleast expect a price lower than 4K, which is good considering what you get and considering what other good kits go for - I.E. FMAX kit is 3800 dollars, and this kit from Edelbrock with spank it.

Nice that does look like quite a deal are they planning anything other then honda/acura apps? It's cool that it comes with the boost gauge. Cool stuff where did you hear about it?

It doesn't mention any other applications to come other than Honda/Acura. I like to keep up with new products, saw it on Edelbrocks website and ordered a catalog.

you forgot to mention the best part. the turbo is one of the new Gt series from garrett:)

the new garrets *drool* i'll have to take a peek my self. My dad wants one for the subie or the rex.heh

its probably the GT25 which goes for like 1400. Its actually huge. My friend just got one, I think the thing is a monster. Good luck, I really don't think its a t28. I think all the GT series are hybrid turbos but all seem hot. I think its a t28/t04s.

I think I still like the rev hard. My price on the rev hard was 2850 and the guy told me he would upgrade me to ball bearing for 500 so total price is 3350.

Yeah but the edelbrock kit comes with the performer X intake manifold with a secondary fuel rail with 4 additional injectors. And I'm not sure about that 4000 dollars for the other kits - I was just guessing. The civic kit is 3500, maybe the others will be too.

I think that all the stuff that comes with the kit is cool, but for all that stuff you would think that you'd get more than 170 HP. I seen that in an add that was posted about it in the sport compact magazine. That's it??? only 170 HP from all that STUFF???? You can get 185 HP with the apexi turbo kit on the 92-95 civic. Andf that doesn't even include fuel management. Add fuel management and you get more HP!! The edelbrok kit is nice, but should get more gains with all that equipment.

its probably a very conservativelly tuned kit so people will not blw their engines up....i bet you can tune it yourself to much more hp than that if you are brave enough

It's 170 wheel HP, not BHP, and thats pretty good for only 6-7 PSI.

I know that's 170 WHP...Thanks DICK!!!

Hey asshole, you never once wrote WHP in your whole post. I can't read your mind.

I think your the ass because you ASS-ummed.

Theres only one M is assumed dickhead. Somebody should beat you to death with a dictionary.

take it a bit easier there super man.....pwman has a very valid point...you never metioned wheel HP you only said HP that is by default understood as crank HP...after your post that was what i assumed too.....there is no need for calling him names. and there is a huge difference between crank HP and wheel hp...so the corection was welcomed

alright I'll be the man here and say sorry for calling dude names. I did mean to the wheels. Sorry.....can we stop this back and forth stuff?

No prob i just posted that to try and stop this from getting into a flame war.....too many good threads get destroyed that way....

Screw ALL OF YOU!! BITCHES!! :D LOL!! Anywho, the Edelbrock kit comes with a crap-load more extras than any other kit. A NEW MANIFOLD?? That's freakin awesome!

Yeah and it comes with a secondary fuel rail with 4 additional injectors. This kit has some major potential.

For what you get in that kit that is a damn fine price.

I think ditching my Greddy turbo for a BB turbo is in order. If wonder if they'll let you order the kit w/o fuel upgrades?? I hope so...

Yes, the edelbrock kit is a good value, but for 3500 i dont want a standard t-28 ballbearing with an integral wastegate, i want a t3/t04e with an external, if it wern't fot that, id probably buy one

actaully you get the new gen garrett Gt series T28 with the edelbrock kit

Are you 100% sure? Edelbrock announced it's kit will come with a standard ball bearing t-28, not a gt t29, is there even such a thing?

It's a T28.

sorry it was a miss print i meant T28....my bad...i don't think a t29 even exists....

JUST FYI. I read garretts new aftermarket catalog, and they don't eve nmake a gt series t-28, it goes from gt20, gt-22, to gt-32. So its just a standard t-28 with bearings, not a gt series


SOMEONE PLEASE REPLY TO MY OTHER POSTS, I NEED ADVICE

i read it in SCC taht the edelbrok had a gt series turbo....and i heard several people talk about gt series t28.....what often happens is that the turbi is build by someone else in colaboration with garrett...HKS turbo's for example....so maybe garrett does not make one but somebody else has developed one in colaboration.....btw this is just speculation...i might be wrong

Hmmm, i never thought about that, you might be right. Anyone have any idea.

No idea but I'm pretty sure it is a GT series.

BUT GARRETT DOESN'T MAKE A GT28. IT JUMPS FROM GT22 TO GT32, THAT A BIG GAP

i'm relly nost sure about the designations on the new Gt series one of those it might be the equivalent of a T28 and edelbrock is using that name so people will be more familiar with the type....again i'm speculating but i'm almost 100% sure that kit comes with gt series turbo

It is the T28, not GT. And if anyones interested in getting the Edelbrock turbo give me an email. I can getcha one for around $3100.

:dogpile: I was thinking about purchasing one of these kits. I know my fair share amt of info about my car, but Iwould really like to get some opinions about this kit. Edelbrock make this kits sound and look nice, but there is another kit coming soon for the SOHC 1.6 from Greddy. I was quoted an est $3800 just for the kit. That wasn't including the hoses and intercooler or Power Manage device. I'm looking for some beef in my car. My last option is to drop a H22A motor in it...replies are very welcomed. Help me out guys... PEACE:comprage1

For 3800 Greddy is no worth it. Spend an extra 200 bucks, maybe not if you shop around, and the Edelbrock kit will get you more HP gains.

:iagree: Thanks for the advice. now, i just need a extact cost....I'll keep you posted

Edelbrock kit a 4K I believe.

EDIT: I just looked in my Edelbrock catalog, and it says 3500 for the 96-00 SOHC D16Y8. I think thats what you have right?

:eek2: 4000k.....wow....some shops that i have called so far haven't even seen this thing yet. no one carries it yet. do you know a dealer who has it right now. i'm a little gurry to slapy that s.o.b. on. if you know of a lagit dealer online or something, please let me know....peace

I'm sure if you call Edelbrock they can tell you dealers for that product. It's 1 800 416 8628
And the part # is 1500

It is available, I can get it for a very good price but there is a 2-3 week delivery time as Edelbrock fills back orders.
