<< what about an LX >>


theoretically, it's better for the LX since there's a lower compression ratio. i don't think the difference between the LX and EX is too significant

The only reason that it might not work is that the auto tranny takes up more room than the manual tranny. HKS could of made the turbo sit down in a place where the auto tranny usually is or the AEM CAI usually is. I don't think they'de do that though. They'de want to produce something once and have it fit on all the civics if that was possible, so I'm sure that they'll make the turbo fit with an automatic transmition.

ok in this honda tuning mag i just read.. they set a nitrous set up that boost 50-60 hp at wide open throttle also depending on ur bottle temp. it says ur bottle should be at 1000 or 1200 psi.. add that with the turbo will be 90. 127+90 is 217. plus ur lil bolt ons lets call it 220 or 225 for a manual and auto. but in manual they mentioned that clutch needs upgrade. i dunno for auto though.. but i hope both systems fit in our engine bay. i will get it eventually if my salary permits. not unless it dont permit 3 years from now.. then ill just trade and get an RSX and convert it to JDM integra.

You know...I'm so excited about a turbo comming out someday...I can't wait to see what it will do for our cars. I'm not gonna kid myself into thinking that &gt;&gt;I&lt;&lt; will be able to afford it, but it sure will be nice to see some people actually backing up their "I"m getting a turbo" posts with actual pics and track time tickets. Then again, I can only imagine the # of posts on here that will pop up saying "I'm getting a turbo this weekend!" and then it never happens...You know, thinking about all of this is giving me a headache!
