It depends on where your gas pedal is seated at 2500rpm. If you are on the gas at all, then you are putting load on the turbo, which is what it is powered by. You can be at 5000rpm, but with your foot steady at the top of the pedal just cruising, thus creating no load, and no boost. The GReddy SOHC kit, at full load, full boost is at about 3000rpm if I remember correctly (it's been years).

they are both right but it really depends on some minor parts which make the turbo spool up faster such as piping size and if you have a camshaft and other minor parts... the lowest rpm i have seen a greddy kit spool up on a SI with some of those mods was around 3800rpm..

Thanks for your interest in GReddy Products, unfortunately we do not offer a bolt on turbo kit for your vehicle. Although we do have a Turbo kit for the 92-95 Civic EX with the 1.6l VTEC engine. Because we do not have a direct bolt on kit for the HX engine. I can not recommend installing this kit on your car, because the engine is a bit weaker internally. However I have seen a few dealers install the kit on cars like yours with some success I believe there are some modifications necessary, but most of the parts will work. But you will definitely have to make up you own fuel management and map sensor cut.
FYI : our kit for the 1.6l includes a cast iron turbo manifold, TD04H-15G turbo with integral wastegate, Air intake, Charge + Intake + Downpipe piping, GReddy FCU (fuel control unit), and all the necessary hardware need for installation. Please keep in touch with your favorite Authorized Greddy dealer for more updates. http://greddy.com/dealers/
