OK, I'm a total newb to all of this....I don't even know how to drive a manual. I own a 1996 Honda Civic EX Automatic Sedan (4-door)....

I want to completely customize it. Here's what I've found so far...

Can and should I put a turbo kit in it (like something from GReddy) or should I do an engine swap (and can I do either of these while keeping it A/T)???

If I do go with the turbo....should I also install a Boost Controller, Auto Timer, Blow Off Valve...and take it to a Dyno Shop for tuning???

Should I upgrade the exhaust and do I need a High-Flow Catalytic Converter (remember it's an automatic)???

Do they make a High Peformance Radiator for an Automatic?

Should I install a GReddy Radiator Breather Tank and Flex-A-Lite Oil Cooler Kit?


Remeber guys...I want to keep this automatic while still getting as much horse power as I can.

P.S. I want my engine red and chrome if possible...Very Clean....

I plan on hooking up my engine first, then working on the exterior..

Thanks everyone...

^you have alot of researching to do before you do anything to ur car. from what i read, you have absolutly no shitting clue what ur talking bout or what each part does; and to my best guess, you are just piling a big list from what you only seen or heard of what can go into a car.


everything you describe will cost you over $10,000 easily. and if thats the case, its better for you to just sell ur car and buy a better one.

if you dont know much, just keep it simple for now like exhaust and cold air intake, and than go from there.

Driving a stick is a really good skill to learn..

Especially if you're that intent on going fast.
