would you...........*correction* ....is it better to put a turbo in a vtec engine or a non-vtec engine?
while balancing out that getting a non-vtec engine car is alot cheaper on insurance and the car itself then a vtec engine car.
ex. an Si comparing to a Lx. coupe.

from my experience with this car n reading thru all the stuff that are out
i doubt we can get a street legal turbo out
and it might take alot longer than usually with the older civic's
but back on topic
u would get a higher boost out of a non-vtec engine!! because of the low compression
while the vtec is great! it cannot handle too much boost of more than 8 psi, not even more like 6psi!
so if u want to run a custom turbo its better if u have a DX or LX coupe to do it.
i dunno about insurance
why? u thinking of getting a lx??? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]
hope that helps!!
*urrggg* no turbo for our cars for a long ass while eh.....?? i thought there was this one company/group having a prototype.....or some sh*t like that, guess not street legal then.
well, my insurance on an Si......*just say its enough to buy another car, lol*
was thinking 'bout the Sir..as supyo suggested, but that means my insurance would be even higher *sigh*
or......buy a rsx type S engine and put it in my car, hahahhaahha.....that way, 4get the turbo......and in the near future, put a turbo for the type S engine, ahhaha.......if it fits in the civic.....hopefully
no problem man
glad i could help
but if u couldnt get sir/ or rsx type S
cuz of insurance
u should drive a 4 door for a while and when it goes down
thats when u get a nice RSX Type R!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
If anyone is ever serious about puttin' in Turbo, it's a little more $$$ than just the turbo itself. You'll need to get an intercooler + manifold plus change to larger pistons so that the compression doesn't blow the engine.
If anyone does turbo it should be done right or else sure ythey'll have a fast car...but not for a long.
Supercharger is another way to go and you don't have to worry about turbo lag and it's running all the time.
Sorry if I haven't got all the technical info in here...don't want to give you incorrect info.
hehehee this is just a thought but does brian from TPR do any custom turbo?

just a thought!!!
so CB, is the supercharger like another engine on top of the regular Lx engine?
unlike the turbo, where u would have to change to larger pistons...etc.
hahaha im not too sure
but a super charger uses ur belts to turn it im vaguely familiar with super charger
but i know turbo uses ur intake and header hehehehe to produce a boost hehehe

how about we use all the money were about to spend on our cars... SAVE it and buy a Mitshubishi Eclipes GTR [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
I have decided that MY vic will be all a show... if I want a aster car.... I'll trade it in for a RSX type S or something
and that the civic will not go as fast and perform the way we want it to.....
did u just figure that out????
hahahaha i could have told u that a longggg time ago buddy
lolz
if u wanted a fast civic u should have a 92 hatch and swapped a gsr in
and done u would have been done lol
wait let me see, which part of 92-95 series dont u get
who cares so its a sun roof?
sun roof weighs more hahahaha
do u wanna pay 7000 for a 95 engine
or 3000 for a 93 engine??
sc vs. tc....too lazy to go into it in detail....ugh...
you guys are arguing about a 94 over a 92..?? [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] lol....same thing...and the engine doesn't matter if it gets swapped out anyways...just the body...
