RE: Turbo vs. all motor - 2/9/2006 7:03:46 AM    Cam Posts: 96 Joined: 9/2/2005 Status: offline If you stick with the D you'll no doubt get a shed load of power for a lot less than the b16, but to be perfectly honest, the D's arn't that great. They dont rev as well and simply dont sound as exciting. If your boosting them both i doubt you'd get any more power out of one or the other, but the b16 would still be screaming round at 8000rpm. A b18 is probably the best bet, at least your getting something resembling torque! _____________________________ Drove an alfa 147 the other day, ****. (in reply to Marty) Post #: 21

That is like the first thing I do to any civic I get is take the ps off because I simply like the way ir drives alot better without it. _____________________________ If you are over 18 years old in the United States and do not vote do not bitch about local, state, and national laws.

Are you sure that's not an EG? The images source is: http://www.lenon.com/images/h22eg_install.jpg Either way, great looking install. Very clean. (in reply to Marty) Post #: 27

I found a Greddy turbo, stage 3 on ebay for only £450! why is it so cheap??? ANy issues or problems with this one?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8037087002&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT _____________________________ Honda Civic Sport Coupe ================ Cold Air Intake 6500K super white, blue tinted halogens Interior Ultra blue neons Sony ICE Planned: Engine Swap or Turbo Full Cat Back Exhaust Race Header 16 or 17 inc low profile multi-spok (in reply to alarum) Post #: 30
