Clean idea: Trade it in for a car with a bigger engine with a turbo and a stick. If you're willing to blow 14 grand on getting a fast car, just buy it from the factory that way. Get a GTI, Chip it and change the turbine and the clutch. You'll bump it to 275 or more and it would probably run 22-23K total. Swapping a K20A2 then turboing it is going to be rediculously expensive. Or just find a Supra or 300Z and start working on that. I just don't really see paying for all that work as feasible, you'll be driving in what basically amounts to a $40000 Civic.

WERD. . . . that's what I'd do, too. MUCH easier mods at that point. Changing the engine alone is a job, why complicate matters? And I think Honda's still got really good financing on 2002's. . . hehe.
