Ok well i might be getting a Full ride scholarship to play football. And my dad said if i do, he well buy me a turbo. I know it's dumb Cuz of the d's weak bottum end but he wouldnt go for an engine swap... I have never dealed with turbos and i was always expecting to be N/A so i need help on what kinda kit i should peice together... And i need to know about fuel management and ecu's, pretty much the works. So any help would be greatly apprecitated.

 

What kind of specific things do you want to know?

Any particular questions?

 

See if you can take care of the bottom end, build it. Then it can take the boost. If you get the block sleeved and forged rods/pistons youd be in good shape. Hell i wish my parents would bought my the turbo kit, i woulda spend the money on internals

 

just boost it and have it tuned by a pro. Set it at around 200 to 210whp and leave it. By the time you get out of school and start making real money a civic will be the last car sitting in your driveway.

 

As in it still being reliable?

 

Hes saying once your wallet hits stage 3 you wont even break wind toward a civic. You will be in the market for slightly more expensive cars

 

you know you're a car geek when your replys start with:

 

Yea that is what I mean, I love honda's but if I could sit a new car in my driveway that is actually made to go fast I would. The D17 will be fine up aropund 200 to 215whp I just dont care for them as far as the aftermarket is concerned.

 

Tell your dad that you can sell your engine and help him out buying a K20.

 

All right cool thanks everyone
