Welcome. What do you want to do with the car and how much money do you want to spend?

k well im not much on the new civics cuz i just dont like the way look. well for starters i am not going to be able to do this in the near future but i will do it cuz it is my dream but i want to eventually drop an 18c5 into it and run about 15 psi. on a nice i/c turbo with maybe a75 shot of n.o.s. i know i have to rienforce the entire engine but i want to know wut kind of tranny i should get with it and maybe like a piggy back fuel system. wut car would be suited for this kind of project. im kinda lookin for a 450 whp daily driver. any help will be appriciated.

Your first problem is your engine. The C5's compression is too high to be running a turbo, your gonna want to go with a C1. I don't know that 15PSI will be enough to get you to 450HP, but its the CFM that counts.
