the other i went to go look at a 93 hatch ... from the looks of it ... it wasnt too bad ... it had a nice gsr interior and Z6 with turbo and was painted a nice gunmetal grey and the guy wants 2800 for it ... now i have two questions is this a good buy and how much power can a t2 turbo put out if its running about 6psi

 

t2?

I'm going to be very blunt with you, and you'll probably hate me for it, but in the long run, you will thank me.

Civics aren't intended to be boosted, that being said, there are a lot of things that can go wrong with them. Don't get me wrong, they can also be VERY reliable, quick little cars. The fact of the matter is, that you need to have a wealth of knowledge before you guy buying an aftermarket boosted car.

I'm saving you a lot of headaches right now. Get out there and do lots and lots of research on turbos, why/how they work, what it takes to keep them reliable, how differently you have to drive them, trouble shooting, etc etc etc..

 

well other than the turbo and manifold the engine is pretty much stock ... and if i do end up with it im gonna take the turbo out because of the emssion problems ... but other than that do u think its a good buy

 

emissions might not pass because of the d16z6.... who knows???? i think forty04 got this 1.... good luck

 

If anything, the turbo is helping the emissions

 

Basically I would never think about buying a car with F/I unless you have a good knowledge and have installed your own turbo before. Even then I wouldn't trust someone elses work. But thats just how I am.
