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]

*urrggg* no turbo for our cars for a long *** 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

ya, it helps...thx.
making a list of pros/cons.

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]

Oh yeah,

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.

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.

did i get that correctly?

 
Rep Power: 0

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

I have an LX coupe too

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

okay, im really deciding on a Si or Lx
'cause me getting an Lx with a sunroof isnt much difference from a Si.

so:

is a Supercharger better on a vtec engine then a turbo?
'cause i know that a turbo is better on a non vtec engine as i heard on this site.

and ya, i thought there wasnt n/e street legal turbos and superchargers in Toronto/Canada.....'cause apparently, according to the dealership i went to, there are already street legal turbos and superchargers on the streets..........guess i havent kept up with the stuff lately. =\


and Trance, saw that sports civic seden.......its okay only, still prefer the coupe

dude
sorrie dont beat me over this saint
but the LX dont come with sunroof
only the Si do.
if u want LX to have sun roof ur gonna have to buy the parts seperate and gut the roof open lol
[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
dont worrie just get ur ride back if u can and go with it for a while
since u gotta be insured for a couple of years before the insurance goes down

alright saint dont hit me alright
im sorrie!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

Well, the Vortech Supercharger on the 6g SiR puts out 10PSI and that's higher compression than our Si's right. It also produces around 270hp with just the supercharger. no internal work. and a 3 yr warranty. If something like that ever comes out for our car *drools* or even better, the RSX Type-S or 2k2 SiR.

haha, aiight nighthawk
