Hey everyone, I am pretty new to this stuff so I have no clue what I am doing. But I want to get a turbo kit to add around 100 hp to my 2009 honda civic ex coupe (non si) without having to sacrifice engine reliability. I got a budget of $2000, is this reasonable, if so, what turbo kit would you all recommend? Thank you so much for your time.

 

yeah, no. Multiple reasons I really don't feel like elaborating on, but wrong engine, small budget, wishful thinking on reliability and power goals.

 

the r18 is a solid motor if maintained properly and you will get alot of miles from it. it can be boosted but i wouldn't recommend it with your budget. especially with a kit install your budget would keep you in the cheap low quality components budget range. too many extra things to add to the engine of low quality that could inturn fail and take the engine with it.
