1996-2000 Honda Civic Performer X Turbocharging System

The Edelbrock Performer X Turbocharging System is a complete Turbo Kit that gives 1996-2000 Honda Civic SOHC
VTEC D16Y8 owners a 60-70 horsepower increase from turbocharging. The Garrett T-28 ball bearing turbo comes pre-assembled
as one unit with a Ni-resist cast exhaust manifold and exhaust elbow, and inlet oil and water lines for the simplest possible
installation. The system includes a high-performance Performer X intake manifold with four additional injectors and a separate
electronic controller to add fuel and retard spark under boosted conditions. The Edelbrock Exhaust manifold and elbow are designed
for maximum flow and high velocity for quicker turbo spool-up. We have included an intercooler, blow-off valve, windshield pillar
mount boost gauge, o-ring sealed compressor flanges, a turbo oil supply adapter, and pre-assembled Russell oil, water, and fuel lines
to make this one of the most complete kits on the market.

This installation can be accomplished using common tools and procedures. However, one should have a basic
knowledge of automotive repair and modification and be familiar with and comfortable working on this vehicle. If you do not feel
comfortable working on a large project such as this, it is recommended to have the installation completed by a professional
mechanic. Keeping a 1996-2000 Honda Civic Service Manual on hand for reference is helpful. REMEMBER: WHEN WORKING
AROUND GASOLINE, DO NOT SMOKE, AND KEEP ALL OPEN FLAMES, SPARKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY FROM
THE WORK AREA. Failure to do so can result in a FIRE or EXPLOSION. Installing this turbocharger kit will substantially increase
the power output of your engine. Before installing this kit, you should perform a compression test to ensure that your engine is in
good condition. Consult a Factory Service Manual for the proper compression test procedure and acceptable in-service limits. The
valve lash should be properly adjusted. If the valves are not properly seating, or the valve lash is not properly adjusted, the increased
temperatures created by the increased power output could accelerate valve seat wear and cause burnt valves. If for any reason your
engine has oil pressure that is below the acceptable service limits as specified in the Factory Service Manual, this problem should
be corrected before installing this turbocharger kit.
