I don't like the civic hatchbacks as much as i like the coupes. but thats my opinion. and you have a nice coupe. lol
thanks for the comment man always nice to get good comments about your car lol

~edit~ I have a strange feeling that this is going to turn into my turbo build thread lol

~edit 2~ to build the engine would the Eagle H-beam rods and Vitara 75 mm pistons like Sov~ used on his be good for my purposes? if so they will be going on my turbo shopping list, also looking at a GT28R for the turbo, that would be capable of getting me to my goal I am supposing wouldnt it?

right now on my shopping list I have

Eagle H-beam rods
Vitara 75 mm pistons
GT28R turbo

looking around at exhaust manifolds but I was wondering if somebody knew of one where I could keep my air, dont care about power steering but in florida during summer air is sort of important if you dont like suffering so would be nice to keep that. so if anybody knows of a turbo manifold where i can keep my air that will still help me get to my goal for power it would be really nice.

Log manifolds are good up to about 300hp and let you keep both p/s and a/c.

nevermind scratch the whole turbo idea, apparently my parents are just as indecisive as I am and apparently they aren't going to let me do the turbo anymore.

Oh well at least I learned two things through this
1) a lot about turbos
2) there is absolutely no point in me planning anything for my car because every time i do my parents decide i cant spend my own money how i want to.

Can a D engine be turbo'ed after the mini-me swap? If so, that gives me a much cheaper alternative than buying a B18.

I'd say it's time for you to grow a pair of ***** if you're paying for it...granted, they're probably right in not letting you screw up, but hey, if it doesn't blow up it'll be fun.
