Cybernations Turbo Kit

EPHatchgirl · Post by **EPHatchgirl** » December 18, 2003

I am going to gather a more lengthy write up, but I installed my own turbo kit. I just wanted to see, what kind of information do you guys want? Any format suggestions? I want to make sure my post answers the questions turbo addicts might have about this kit....

first and foremost, i think you should describe the install: was it easy? then you can go into details about the kit itself: how much and from where? was a front mount included? what size turbo? and as far as your setup in particular: what fuel management are you using? how much are you boosting? are you happy with the results? if dyno'd, how much power are you now pushing?

Kewl- I can start there...

The kit is made by Cybernations Motorsports in Florida, and costs $3999 for stage one. The idea and the main thinking behind this kit is that after buying this kit, you need to buy NOTHING else pertaining to the turbo kit up to stage 4, beyond the motor mods you need to have the engine handle the power you are giving it.

The kit comes with EVERYTHING you need.
Turbonetics wastegate
Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo (60:1 series)
Turbo manifold, downpipe with attached test pipe
Intercooler piping with BOV flange already welded on
HKS standard BOV, or you can substitute
Front mount intercooler (Spearco core with Cybernation end tanks)
Autometer A/F gauge, boost gauge
Apex-i SAFC II
Cybernation Black Magic Elf- THIS THING ROCKS
550 CC injectors
In line Walbro fuel pump
All necessary fittings, fuel and oil lines (these lines are good up to stage 4 I believe- up to 250 PSI), flanges and connectors

The cybernation black magic elf does so much I don't know where to begin... well, yeah I do- anyone who's tried to boost a HONDA hates the dreaded MAP sensor issue.... this little box, created by the owner of Cybernation Motorsports, turns your existing factory MAP sensors into 3 bar map sensors, able to sense and handle boost. It controls your car at idle, and helps maintain a stock like ride when not boosting.

The SAFC II is probably familiar to everyone, but I can give details. This thing is VERY easy to use with properly working gauges, and you CAN street tune if necessary with it. The dyno tuning I did only took 45 minutes because of the ease of using this little bad boy.

For stage 2, nothing to add, just rods and pistons in my engine, and cranking up that boost.

The install was not THAT bad, but I would recommend having a large workspace... ours was too small to be easy... and a lift if possible. The hardest part was switching the "returnless fuel system" in the Civic hatch to a "return fuel line" system... PM me for details. Otherwise, the only hardships we had related to not having a lift or a bigger garage available.

I hope that's a good start, and from there, just keep askin questions, and I'll do my best to answer.
Thanks!
