honda guy in need of help

powerls · #1 12-07-2003, 10:36 PM

hey guys... I have a integra w/ a greddy 18g kit on it... I did a search for upgrades but only found a couple things... I was just wondering what kind of upgrades anyone has done on their 18g... Also if a 20g turbo would be able to bolt up to my current manifold... I asked this question in honda forums, but all I got are people doubting the 18g... so I figure you guys would just say greddy sucks and that I should have gotten a RevHard or whatnot...

Thanks guys

oh and by the way, I'm on the east coast and we got about 6" of snow. My friend took me out in his GSX. We found a virgin untouched parking lot. I have lots of respect for the DSM's out there.

I think greddy and revhard both suck

Just kidding. I dont like greddy, only for the price. They charge a arm and a leg for turbos, when we can get 18gs for 600 bucks. At any rate, if the gredy turbo in your kit uses the Mitsu bolt pattern (round hole (about 60mm)) then you can use any turbo that is designed to bolt up to a mitsu manifold. So yes, a 20g would work in that case.

sup,
hey dont let anyone tell you an 18g is no good my friend has that kit on his 93 civic hatch with a b16 fully built greddy type 24 intercooler,vortech fmu,and 310cc injectors running 6lbs of boost and hes taken out a couple ss cameros on it he weighed in at 2200lbs with driver. you cant use the 20g on your manifold you have to get an adapter for it atleast he cant. he did put a t-25 on his before though I dont know what it was off of though.

For DSMs, the 18g is a piece. It has yet to run as fast as a 16g as far as I know. One of those turbos that was good on paper, but never did well in real life. On a honda, it may be a whole different story. Thats where my area of extertise ends.

I think the reason it does well on the honda is becuase of the honda b-series head design which is just incrediable.
