Default A few questions.

Ok so i own a 1990 honda civic hatchback (ed6), its the base model 4speed...d15b2 with dpfi, well when i purchased it the cylinder head was cracked and i found a d16a6 really cheap and i got that put in...well here for the questions. Take note im kinda new at this lol...well ive been reading on these forums that if ur planning on tuning it, it would be smart to do the MPFI swap??? If i stick with dpfi is it gonna be hard to tune? I plan on getting some DC headers in the next month, and i just ordered a megan racing short shifter off the internet. i wanna get the eibach lowering kit, a pcd super chip, AEM intake, and a catback exhaust system. and id like to rebuild the internals such as the pistons/rods.

just do the MPFI swap. If you're not going to do that, you might as well not even buy any of those performance parts you mentioned.

I was looking on www.ssautochrome.com and i saw some really good deals on some turbo kits. Ur right, is the DPFI to MPFI swap take that long? ive been doing some research on it. i think ima get this turbo kit and do the mpfi swap. and wait awhile and see what happens from there.

lol@ssautochrome

first of all... think about that brand name. to me it sounds like all they care about is chrome... what does that have to do with a turbo kit, besides the cheap bling factor? does that sound like quality to you?

If you answered "no," you are correct.

Next, read this (ssautochrome/ebay turbos are discussed in this)
