Turbo charge or Swap?
 

I was wandering i have 2000 civic Dx would it be better to turbo charge the SOHC engine or do a engine swap to the B16 in the 2000 Si?

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

depends entirely on your goals for the car.

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

The B16 isn't the best engine for boost because it has high compression.

I want the car to be reliable if i turbo charge the d16 can i get 200 whp or just swap to the B16 from 2000 Si and remain NA
?

Turbo.

I want the car to remain reliable if i turbo charge and run low boost will it be reliable cause i need my car to get around its a daily driver.

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

Sure. In fact a turbo would increase your highway fuel mileage if you tune it correctly.

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

you boost your engine?

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

GSR ftw

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

you said a GSR swap would be reliable for daily driving?

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

Don't you have a d16y8? If so, I would just boost it.

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

no the EK DX has a y7.

yes the GSR would still be reliable.

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

Oh ****, I'll shut up then. [:o]

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

oops.

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

i would do a swap

RE: Turbo charge or Swap?
 

Thanks for all input im leaning towards doing the SWAP.

Lol, definitely not a D fan here. EX is Y8. DX are LX are Y7.

yea before i bought the car i knew i had to do something to gain more power the power plant in the DX is horrible.I had a 1998 GSR before it got stolen [sm=shootshoot.gif]
