[hr]Hey.

Lets say for argument sake if I wanted to put a Turbo on my 1.4i Civic - what'd I have to do to achieve this and how long would my Civic last before the engine would blow?

JT.

thats a very broad question.....but i think you should go to the Nitrous, Turbo, Supercharger section and read all the stickies. It depends on what shape your engine is in, what size turbo, what you'll be using the car for, and many other factors. Go over to that sectio and read all the topics at the top of the page, they all hold valuable information.
