Rep Power: 302

I have been looking around lately for turbo's and nothing has come up. So I remember'd a better way of making a civic just as nasty if not nastier than a turbo'd one. BUILDING IT!! WOO HOO!

Would anyone happen to know where I can find internals for the 7th gen civics... I've tried searching all over the internet, but haven't come up with anything. Maybe someone here will know. Thanks for the help!!! All input is welcome!!!

Is D-17A, Non-vtec or Vtec?? I know they actually differ, to what extent i'm not sure.

If it is non-vtec woo hoo! I actually heard from a local shop in Fl, that Non-vtec engines handle turbo's better than Vtecs.. Just what I heard.. Oh well though, 2500 isn't bad for a turbo... (if that is there prices, which seems to be the consistant)

i dont think i would spend my money on a turbo for a civic. id be afraid id blow the engine or something.

well, yeh you can blow your engine..but it all depends how use it..i know people who were using nitrous for years and no problem, and i know some who blow their engines after couple shots....

you can f#$k up your engine with cai...but you can use bypass and prevent water to go into engine..

same with turbos and nitrous...if you use it smart you wont have any problems

doesnt the lx have a lower compression ratio? that would make it better for turboing if the ex has a higher compression ratio.
