Hey, I just started on these forums, so I've been goin around askin questions, tryin to gather as much informationion as I can.
This summer, I'll be purchasing a B18C1 for my 1998 Civic LX. I'll pick up I/H/E as I go, but my next big purchase will be one of the three listed in the topic. I was curious about, before I install any of these, what I should do to the B18 to help it handle the extra strain, and which application would be best for this type of engine. Any help you can offer is appreciated. Thanks
A little edit here...
I just relized I forgot to ask the people out there who have actualy gone through with this kinda upgrade which brand they would recomend? I've heard that Turbonetics makes some realy good bolt on turbo systems for Hondas, but I've also heard the same about Greddy. I know how they work and all that, but as far as who makes a better product I'm totaly clueless.

greddy is really good but it all comes down to how much you're willing to spend and how much HP you want

if you want to go fast you will build your own turbo kit or have your local tuner shop build one for you. Greddy has very nice kits and products but if going fast is a priority for you don't go that way. they use small internally gated turbos. those are great for beginners, clean engine bays, and ease of install. those who are serious about making good power build thier own kits using an externally gated setup.
