Well there is MUCH more than just the turbo. Plus you have an automatic. So it really would be a waste of money. Turbos use high RPM to spool up and release boost pressure to create power. An automatic hardley ever sees these RPM's so its pretty much like eye candy under your hood. Now for the actual turbo in the pic. IT'S GARBAGE. Quality turbos by themselves are in the $800-$1,800 price range. A $250 turbo will break easily. Then you will need a manifold, intercooler, wastegate, blow off valve, injectors, charge pipes, silicone couplers, oil feed line, oil return line, boost timing master, wastegate dump tube, some type of fuel management, and an experienced tuner. Generally a bolt-on turbo kit like Greddy or Turbonetics are more expensive up front, both are about $3,500, but have EVERYTHING you need to install in under a day. Piecing together a turbo kit you will have to find someone to fabricate parts and labor. Generally labor to install a COMPLETE kit like the Greddy or Turbonetics is about $1,000-$1,500. If you piece it together and requires mods and tuning you can expect about $3,000-$3,500 for labor and tuning.

listen to hondab16tuner on this one, he knows what hes talkin about

I second that.

do not put turbo in an automatic it will just blow up your car.

Yes i have built three of these engines, you are going to have to cut a hole in the firewall and remove the glove box to make room for the turbo. the engine clearences are so tight on that model. Go to sears.com for the saw to cut your firewwall.

a turbo goes nowhere neer the firewall on any of the civics/del sol's /integras/preludes/accords with a b,d, h or f series engine... the exhaust ports are on the front side not the back... you are an idiot
