1.7 Liter Vtech, Turbo question.
Just bought a 2003 Honda Civic EX with a 1.7 Liter Vtech engine SOHC.
I bought the car as a project, I want to add a turbo to the engine as well as other necessary modifications.
Looking for advice on a good turbo? i am also looking to have the motor drilled to handle larger pistons in order to handle the turbo.
I dont want to have to swap the motor if I can turbo my engine to where it needs to be.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Re: 1.7 Liter Vtech, Turbo question.
budget for a good engine management system - hondata was said to be best. Not sure about newer AEM, but it was not as good in the past.
what kills a turbo engine is the lack of fuel that heats the engine.
