I own a 97 honda civic ex with a basic d16 motor but has matrix headers, cold air intake, full greddy exauste,full suspension "shocks struts, springs etc,and front and rear strut bar....i wanna go fast...fast enough to blow away pretty much everyone in my town. so i need yallz opinion whether i should turbo and if so whats the best brand to go with cause i dont go cheap. or if i should wait and do a motor swap then turbo later.

 

with just a turbo your not going to beat everyone in your town but ya check the thread that has all the turbo parts etc. a swap will cost a lot more just do a lot of research then decide

I personally would wait until I made a rebuild or motor swap before attaching turbo. But if the motor were capable of supporting a turbo now, then I would add turbo. Have your ported and polished yet? Changed motor the internals from factory? These headers: http://www.tunedbymatrix.com/tuning.html?
