Just bought a civic
Heres the deal i just bought a 2007 civic ex i know your probably saying i should have got the si but i couldent justify a whole lot more money for 60 horse. Well to the topic i am going to turbo this car but have a few questions i need answered first
1 Just for my info what is the model number of the 1.8L in my car
2 I am in need of anyone who knows anyone that has a oem 2007 civic ex exhaust manifold
3 i was thinking of using the T3/T4 turbo as they are cheap is that a good choice
4 will i be able to use stock injectors and just get a high pressure fule pump and regulator or will i have to get bigger injectors if so what size
5 do they have piggyback ecm controllers for the ecu in my car
I hope someone can answere all of theis questions cause i have searched the net for hours and just cant come up with anything i guess the car is to new. Also i am open for any sugestions of prouducts that would be a good performance upgrade for this car. I just reasently got into imports i was mainly into domestic stuff so dont know much about it so any info is helpfull. Thanx

u should have gotten the si. a lot less headaches for about the same power. its probably gonna cost the same to turbo your car, get it tuned and running perfectly vs. getting an si.
^^^^ Yeah I say the same but your gonna have to be patient and hopefully someone jumps on the aftermarket market on these cars, the si has a crazy amount of aftermarket parts already
it's not just for the 60 horses....anybody who buys a civic to mod it should start with an older ex coupe (EG or EMI) or a EP3. you def should have bought the si. like someone said, for the same power it's prolly gonna be more expensive to boost the ex than the stock si

Rep Power: 607 Why would you wanna turbo a brand new car. First of all, it will void your warranty. Secondly, if you break something, there goes your brand new car. Should have bought something a few yrs older and tinkered with that if you want boost.
