Turbo or no turbo
Do you think its worth it to toss a turbo kit into the D17? Does it take alot of money to get everything working correctly? or am i better off swaping to a B18C1 if thats possible into an 01 civic.... and then throwin a turbo in that?

a turbo is worth it........but it will cost you more than you think.
I have only seen 1 7thgen with a B series swap. Plus it is illegal.
Honestly, if i had to do it all over again, i would buy a faster car.

plus if its a substantial weight difference in the engine youll need to do somethin bout ur suspension
go k20-turboed..( then you can buy connecting rods n things to turn up the boost past 7-8 psi without bending cracking or breaking things)
