good idea.

it also looks like you have a lot of room left in the engine bay... lol make sure to fill it up.

HAHAHA. if you saw it in person you would slap your self for saying that...

you gotta remember there is no intake manifold or header on it right now, no master cylinder or wiring or absolutly anything except a block and tranny. it prob going to have to cut into the fire wall for the intake mani to fit if i want to make enough room in teh front of the motor for the turbo.

Is this going to just be a track car or also a street car? Cause you could take one of the headlights out and put the turbo behind one of them.

pretty much dedicated to the drag strip. but one goal is to keep it street legal, and street driveable, so ona very rare occasion i can run it down the street if i please or get bored, or want to tune.

and then it also is gonna have just enough touch of style i can take it to a small local car show if i get bored and not feel dumb about it being there.

what gearbox are you going to use behind(beside?) the d16? I have an early model civic racecar here in Australia and want to change over to a latter model engine.
