Re: Help please 94 civic question

The 1.5L's aren't all that great for dicking around in, with or without turbo. I'm assuming that you have the stock DX engine, which is non-VTEC. Because of the size of the engine, and the way the transmission is geared, it wasn't really meant to handle that type of performance consistently.

If you're looking for more power out of your car, I'd consider an engine swap, if it's in the budget. But running that small of an engine with a turbo probably isn't a good idea.
