bolt ons don't really do anything for the EX anyways, so theres really no benefit in upgrading, but ull have VTEC

!, and i was figuring u would want an EX, so u could get bolt ons, cuz they make Dx turbo kits and stuff... however, a lot of places have dx exhaust and intakes... and isn't a DX better for turbo since it has no vtec and lower compression?

I'm gonna go easy on ya. EX's ain't much to brag about.Unfortunately I own one. SOHC Vtecs aren't that great or powerful.Save your money for a K20,boost, or trade your car in and get something better.

Stafford fabrications, Dezod, and some of the other sites, just search the site, or the Fi forum,thers a lot of info, The turbo kit for a DX is not that different from the Ex i believe, just a few different pipes i think

lets do this right... dx/lx motors have lower compression than ex which is ideal for turbo.......

dx/lx have longer gearing than ex which is also ideal for turbo......

now a dx/lx would benefit more from a head swap cause it would have vtec and open it up to let more air in which in hence gives it better/more air for turbo......

read the DIY i have made in the tech section stickied to the top which explains it more
