so i am looking for a turbo or something for my 97 civic lx. (5 speed) the engine is completly stock with 120,000 miles on it i just want a way to get some more horespower out of it wither it be swapping the engine or turboing it. If anyone has any suggestions that would be really cool.

 

suggestion: SEARCH (here, as well as on the internet, other forums, etc..)

 

yup, search. but it will take money, time and patitence to do a swap or a turbo. but a dsm t25 are pretty cheap, run around for 100 bucks. t3/t4 around 125 150 bucks, but not internally wasgateted. but thats just tha turbo there is so much more to it than just a turbo. and for your car if you live in cali its like impossible to do a swap or turbo it without being illegal.

(the turbos are used at that price by the way)

 

Heres my kit forsale.
