I just bought a '95 Civic DX Hatchback. It has 200k miles on it. I have the opportunity to get a turbocharger for $200. Will this be a smart move to install that on my car since it has that many miles on it? What would it do to the engine if I put it on, and how much of a difference would I notice?

Thanks

 

if its electronic, dont and if you do, slap yourself

and a turbo kit will cost you around $1500 for the cheapest ****tiest one imaginable after everything is said and done...

but if you decide to hunker down and actually put a real turbo on the car your looking at between 150-190whp

 

well, 2 things you need to consider:
1. What type of turbo are you talking about? not only quality, but the correct size
2. If you do decide to boost, your going to have to overhaul that motor with some new internals

 

do a compression test and go from threre...

 

Just so you know you need more than just the turbocharger to turbo your car. I know that you probably already know that but we have had people buy a just a turbocharger and ask how to install it.

 

Just throw the turbo in the engine bay and close the hood really fast, if it doesnt hit the ground under the car then its installed.

 

hahahaha...wtf!!

 

PLease don't turbo your car. You need to research so much. You cant just buy a turbo. Theres ALOT more things you need more than just the turbo housing.
