Please forgive me if i posted in the wrong section, but i am looking for another car to get that i eventually want to put a turbo on...I am currently looking at a 2000 Si Civic, but im not sure how much abuse or boost the B16 can take and for how long, any opinions are greatly appreciated!!! Also if you would recommend maybe starting with something different like an Intergra GSR instead, what is the best year to get if i decide to go that route, although i love the look of the 99-00 Si better, not to offend anyone...I am just looking for a good solid foundation!!!

Many thanks in advance for your input....

 

either a si or a gsr would be fine to boost, but not too much on a stock bottom end. a good rule of thumb is no more than 7-9 psi depending on driving style, octane gas you can get, and how well it is tuned. the gsr with its 1.8 will offer more all out performance if you decide to go crazy. or get your si get a gsr block and put the b16 head on the b18c block and you have the basics of a type r motor.

 

thanks for the input bro'....

 

Go with the GSR, its definitely more boost freindly.

 

I don't know if you've noticed but, this is a civic forum.

 

any thoughts on inlinepro turbo kits.. and having them do the install...i know they have a good reputation, atleast here on the street they do...lol

 

get an EK or EG DX and swap a GSR in.

 

get the gsr and all the mustangs will go do this to u[sm=laughat.gif]

but thats ok cause then u do this[sm=nxsmile.gif]

thats when they do this[sm=jawdrop.gif]

of course u beat them and then u can do this to them[sm=loser.gif]

thats when the mustang guys sell there mustang buy civic and do this to u[sm=hail.gif][sm=hail.gif][sm=hail.gif]

so now your a king and its all because u bought a gsr and beat a mustang. now take your army of loyal converted mustang drivers and come to my house so i can...............Take over the world.[sm=icon_sneaky.gif]

ooh yes by reading this u have thus become part of my converted mustang driver army and now my world domination will.....ya know what im tierd of typing this crap sorry but i have been up waiting for the damn cable guy who was supposed to be here at 8:00 and its now nine and i have been up since 7:30 and trust me thats early for me. so.....aw screw it im going to sleep!

I'll have what he's having.

 

um i hope your kidding. a stock GSR in a stock civic will run 14.5 easy. a few breathing mods (exaust, intake, header, high flow cat) and a good clutch will put it at low 14s. mustang drivers will **** themselves if they see a civic holding with them.

and you dont need nitrous on a GSR to beat a mustang.
