Question Turbo

I was wondering if I will be able to take a twin turbo from a supra and put in on my 2001 civic or even just one of the turbos

Wrong forum. There is a FI forum. You can take almost any turbo and put it on your car. You will need the exhaust manifold for a 2001 civic and you will need to make sure the turbo will fit in the space. Also you don't want too big of a turbo or you will kill your car and/or yourself.

without lots of money no.

You'd be better off buying a 2k1 specfic honda kit.

Besides twin turbocharging a 4cyl is pretty much pointless.

In line four, probably so but not a boxer engine. That is the best way to go imo.

Boxer engines are made to handle twin turbo setups. A inline-4 is a different story.

Well I think if that was the case, they would have made a wrx twin turbo.

It's not a boxter engine, it's a flat four boxer engine that comes in subarus.
