I have a 2001 Honda Civic Ex with complete stock motor and I want to put a little more power so I thought Turbo it.

What kind of turbo can my engine support here are the Motor specs

1,668 cc 1.7 liters 4 in-line front engine with 75 mm bore, 94.4 mm stroke, 9.9 compression ratio, overhead cam, variable valve timing/camshaft and four valves per cylinder

 

dont turbo a d17 unless you have a ton of money, a ton of patience, and a ton of experiance with cars.

hardest motor to turbo is a d17 because of the fuel mapping.

just put intake / header / exhaustand go naturally aspirated, youll be plenty fine with that and you wont have extreme headaches

 

Yea Thanks I figured Id ask I have a full Catback exhast and a coolair intake

 

If your a boost junky, go get yourself a EG hatch (92-95') and boost he D16z6 engine that comes in it.

 

Best way to gain a lot of power in a car with a d17 would be to swap it out with a k20.

 

K20 explain more about this motor and what am i looking at price wise?

 

With your car I'm not sure how much it would cost to acually swap the engine but the k20z3 from the new civic si'shave 197hp and they are about $5-6k with a manual transmission iirc. I'm sure someone elsehere can clear it up.

8-10K depending on how much you get the parts for and how much you do yourself
