hey everyone......i'm about to buy a 93 civic coupe.....and i have big plans for f/i.....
here she is:

http://austin.craigslist.org/car/256393389.html

i'm picking it up for $500.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's my project car, as my daily driver is a supercharged tiburon gtv6..

i'm looking forward to boostin the civic

 

looks good for the price, i say go for it

 

thanks.....

.what do you guys recommend for making big power?.......

should i do a swap or should i just turbo it?....i wanna make big power....at LEAST 400 to the wheels.....

 

wow, 400, you're looking at a big swap, beefy internals, big turbo, and one hell of a tune. just to let you know, x4 the hp of the car isn't always the answer, plus you would have no traction. so do whatever floats your boat, just don't be shy to use the search button A LOT.

 

yeah...i know it's gonna be a lot of work, and i'm in it for the long run, i was originally gonna get an fc3s rx7...but this is one hell of a steal

my tiburon is putting down about 290fwhp on stock internals....which is the reason why i'm hungry for more power here...lol

 

k20's are very good swaps, and i've seen stock k20 internals take 41 lbs. of boost with a good tune before throwing a rod. so i'd say go for a k20, with a turbo setup at around 10psi with a few more goodies and you can make around that power, but probably not 400, reliably that is

 

i guess i could turn it down a notch...lol....

are you talking about the k20z1?

what kind of turbo kits are available for an eg civic coupe?....what brand/kit should i lean towards for quality/power?

 

damn that is a steal for 500...good find

 

i know....when i saw it..i was like bye bye 13b...lol

does anyone know how much a k20 motor costs?

 

a lot of money, a lot of time and effort, but the motor is strongas hell
