I appreciate all the tips an info but I also would've love to actually see the work be done, the visuals REALLY TELL THE STORY!!!!!!

[@punkbomb1]

Quality content as always bob. It’s nice seeing people who will go over kits so well and pro /con them so people feel good about spending their money. Even nicer because you’re repping a kit that isn’t yours. Some shops won’t do that. That’s why I’d trust your judgement over anyone else’s on anything I own.

[@RCautoworks]

Thank you, appreciate the feedback

[@rickroberts4848]

Very informative! Those flange bolts on the turbo brough back bad memories! Next ill vband it.

[@Virt7_]

Thanks for this. Putting on my prl kit soon. Just needed to see a couple things

[@losheroes6076]

How it come out

[@MatthewJay80]

Thanks for this information. I’m seriously thinking about driving up from Texas with my PRL turboed 9th gen Si. It was on the car when I bought it, and would like to refresh a few things and build the engine and transmission.

[@RCautoworks]

Let me know if you wanna do a phone call soon or you can email me at [e-mail] . Let's get it done if you wanna take the trip

[@MatthewJay80]

Certainly! Good work can be hard to find, and I don’t mind traveling to get things done right.

[@RCautoworks]

@@MatthewJay80 I agree, it will be worth it 😀

[@younesahmed1762]

Great work, I am looking into getting the same EXACT modifications done to my 9th gen. How much did all this labor cost the customer. So I know how much I need saved up before I start buying all parts.

would like to see footage of actually installing parts

Trying...Its just really hard doing everything and then setting the camera up. Thank you though for the suggestion

Damn I bought the slave master with the cylinder

[@tonyburry9036]

How much did the job cost with parts and labor!?

[@MikeJones-vu2ob]

Is installing a turbo kit and installing suspension setup (coils, rear camber kit, new rotors and break pads, wheels, and tires) easy? Just asking because I have one shop charging me so much for it and claiming other shops will f the suspension + kit up and I have another shop charging me way less and saying it’s easy to install everything. So I don’t know what to think lol Thanks.

[@RCautoworks]

Define easy? Does it take time, sure. It's hard to judge a question like that with little details. Email me at [e-mail] and I'll make sure you're not getting taken advantage of.

[@exceedzation5465]

On the k24z7 engines how much power can it take with stock internals?

[@RCautoworks]

You can make more then 450 but as I see it, that's really the safe limit. Anything after that is really pushing it, pf course it can be done but you're on the limits.

[@bri9435]

What is your experience with Godspeed budget orientated coilovers?

[@RCautoworks]

Save a little more and go with a little more quality. You'll thank yourself in the long run and won't have to buy twice.

[@bri9435]

@@RCautoworks my options are Godspeed, ktuned k1 , buddy club and bc racing? Out of those 4 what would you reccomend?

[@bri9435]

Those are what are within my price limit

[@bri9435]

I live in Canada and it’s really hard to get decent prices on parts

[@Max_ellis74]

Can those headlights fit on a civic si coupe

Overall cost?

Where can I get those window visors/rain guards lol looks sweet

Hey, I got them off amazon here’s the link. www.amazon.com/Auto-Ventshade-894050-Ventvisor-Deflector/dp/B00R1UPPBG They fit great.

[@BillyDaGoat7]

🖤🖤🖤 Did you guys use boost controller on this set up?

[@RCautoworks]

Turbosmart manual boost controller to up the boost a tad to achieve the goal which you'll see a little more in part 2

[@BillyDaGoat7]

Thank you! Cant wait for part 2!🖤

[@therealjohn117]

Do you suggest using 9th gen or 8th gen injectors on RBC when turbo boosting? And how do you install each one? Like do the 8th gen injectors just plug right into the RBC and the fuel rail or are there any adapters needed? And for using stock 9th gen injectors, what would you need to install them into the RBC?

[@RCautoworks]

If you're running an rbc you must run 8th gen injectors, yes they'll fit right in the intake manifold and fuel rail. Email us if you're looking to get setup [e-mail]

Hello guys. I have a question. I'm getting this kit installed, it should be done tomorrow. It seems like they ran the oil line from the turbo to the oil pan drain plug, is this safe? Or the line should go higher on the oil pan? Thanks for your help

[@RCautoworks]

It's safe but you can always weld a bung up higher if you'd like. Some customers do have us do that as well.

So on the coolant port for the 9th gens what you suggest be done?

[@RCautoworks]

Run the adapter kit and do not cut the intake manifold.

What’s the difference in the upgraded slave vs OEM?

[@omarluque8470]

Have a 2012 si want to put a turbo kit in it but I have 86000 miles in it would that be to many miles for a turbo

I want to throw together a kit myself on a k24z3 on my TSX it has the same internals and pistons as the civic si unlike the accord version of the k24Z kinda interested in air to water intercooling so I don’t have to have a ton of piping and just have it loop back around by where the stock intake and battery is and relocate it, but this is all just brainstorming i doubt I do it this car is supposed to be my reliable car second car😂
