1st - 5th Gen Honda Civic As these Honda Civics get older and older they become harder to find in great condition and less popular to modify. By no means does this make them less of a contender on the track or car audio competition. Don't forget the roots of what made import tuning what it has become today.

Re: can i have some advice??

no its not true, a stock motor will wear out fast with a turbo, the internals were not designed for the abuse. and yea you will need some sort of fuel system and tuning. standalone EMS is your best option.
