Found this complete set on the web

Turbo-Kits.com 06, 07, 08, 09 Honda Civic, LX, EX, SI, Turbo Kits

As you can see, the top one is for the R18 engine, and according to the wiki the 1.8 engine in our civics are R18A2....

Is it the same engine?
Its probably the same engine if the numbers match up but this has been talked about quite a lot on this forum but nothing specific has come up yet.
I guess things are still being developped to put on our euro civics.
The engine bay is quite small and is difficult to tune. Just send an email to them and ask them about it, surely they will be able to explain. I also did it one time to a firm who said they could chip my 1.8 to 155 BHP, I haven't heard from them again....
If you should get some info, *** post it here. Not that i want a turbo on my 1.8 (that would kill mpg ) but i am just interested.

grtz and happy turbo hunting

PS the quoted 70WHP gain sure sounds good, the price on the other hand isnt


i believe this is for the american civic, allt he kits mention 06+ civic SI except for the extreme kit... and SI = americain type-R
a no-go i am afraid (yet again )
