The boys at Cybernation Motorsports (an American company) have developed a forced induction kit for the 2006 Honda Civic Si. The 2006 Honda Civic Si is basically a USDM version Honda Civic with a K20Z3 engine instead of the K20A3 and R18A1 we get here in Malaysia. The K20Z3 is a high-compression, high-revving version of the K20 engine family equipped with the a performance i-VTEC system, unlike the K20A3′s i-VTEC cam setup which is tuned more towards economy. Some enthusiasts have argued that the economy-oriented i-VTEC cam setup should be called i-VTEC-E instead.
In stock form the 2006 Honda Civic Si’s K20Z3 engine makes 197hp at 7,800rpm and 189Nm of torque at 6,200rpm. It had a redline of 8,300rpm. Cybernation Motorsports have added a plug and play forced induction kit using a Turbonetics turbocharger and an intercooler to the setup. Of course, there are other components in the kit necessary to turbocharge an engine designer for normally aspirated like a standalone injection controller. Boost is set at 0.75 bar or 11psi. Currently there’s no dyno figures yet, but the car sure looks and sounds good. Videos and more photos after the jump.

that good…
like to hear it more about it. X..project.
wow….way too cool for this car…..
is it a manual ?
Installation looks neat and tidy. 0.75bar is pretty high for a plug and play turbo-charging system which is awesome. Like to know more about it.
powderful……..wonderful……..
Cheers!!!!
Sounds like a manual…
ya… its probably a manual..
where r we ?
I've updated the post with a video of the car's insides. Notice Honda gave the Civic Si a shiftlight at the upper Multiplex deck.
I lOve ciVic VteC turbO PsshHHH…
wow slurpsss!! the engine sound make me slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrpssssss!!! ; P
The engine sounds nice, just saw the dashboard… looks nice.. wonder when will local civic fans start fitting this engine with turbo in this new civic.
wow… hope it is avaiable here soon…. civic turbo…? sounds nice..
It's a damn shame Malaysia doesn't get these kind of Civic SI's. They are actually pretty good looking. We're stuck here with the boring economy models. Ford! please bring in the Focus ST, the Ghia is really boring.
RPM damn high man! 8k per shifts?!?!
acbc: this car makes it's max 197hp power at 7800rpm after all. redline is 8000rpm.
High revving engine… but really sounds nice…
its a honda mah. high revs are their forte.
Uh lala…
The potential of the K-series engine.
Heheee
=P
Wow, it's got shiftlights, even in stock form!
ooh damn, i like the engine sound at high RPM (last vid)
hi Paul, btw, is this BOT fit on 2006 civic 2.0?
wow… that was the most amazing this i have ever seen and heard…. cant wait to put that on my car
Actually Paul, unless this car was changed from the American version, it's redline is actually 8300RPM
My shift light blinks at 8000 but goes solid at 8300RPM. I dunno if any of you have driven this car yet, but lemme tell you, this car is very nice. I love mine
(from the US 
). There's another turbo'd Si here but nobody has one just yet because the fuel system is a bit difficult. It's wired into the security system. I dunno if it's like that for you guys and gals over in Malaysia though, but maybe.
thanks skittlecivic, i've corrected the post!
All civic Si's are manual
wow would they do anything for the regular 06 civ.. besides intake?
i was just wondering if a 2006 honda civic si will beat a 1996 acura integra with super charger in a street race
I just purchased an 07 nighthawk black civic si coupe and just have to add there isn't a better bang for tha buck than this I feel sorry for all the people that bought RSX'S what can I get that turbo kit for $ right now all I have is full exhaust and it's still fast and it handles like a freakin touring car
how much it cost to put the turbo charger? for civic si
hey bro, I got the greddy turbo kit about to put it on my 2008 civic si, and I noticed that the filter greddy sends is a POS.. what filter is that your using and im wondering If it will fit in place of Greddys.. hmm?

Sounds like a great turbo. Did you get to keep your A/C?
