hey i have a 98 civic and i want to upgrade it to a turbo but my dad says that i will only get about 6-8 psi. i wanted to know if there is a turbo engine that would fit in my car.

 

you will need to build a turbo motor if you want to run more boost than 9psi. honda does not make a drop in turbo motor for a civic, unless you get the jdm civic in japan which is turbocharged from the factory

 

nope. Honda hasnt had a turbo car since the old City Turbo of the 80s, and thats not a swap any of us would benefit from.

though Acura will be introducing a new 2.3L turbo car/mini-suv soon. but no word yet on interchangability. hopefully its K-series based.

 

RDX! They had one at the auto show in Detroit. It's the one on the left. Obviously I did not get any closer to it... thought it was just another SUV

 

wel would it be better to buy a new engine(and what type) or turbo change mine

 

This is a thread worth reading: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_10612/tm.htm

 

Sacs hatin on the D. The truth is, the D will probably make you all the power you'll ever want, and it will do it cheaper. (If you're going the turbo route.)

 

Don't speak too soon on that one...

 

Just saying, I think for most peoples goals on here they'd be better off with a turbo D than a B. DOHC is better, true, but in most cases the prices on the Bs don't warrant their gains, imo. It's a well written thread, but a sticky should at least acknowledge an array of options, imo.

 

If you have a D already and are looking for resonable power gains, boost is cheaper.
