New Civic Here!
I have a few questions regarding boosting a D16Y8 at around 9-10 psi. I'm looking to not change the guts of the engine seeing as the motor is all original @around 99,XXX miles on a 98 civic EX coupe. I'll post up a pic. Point is, 124 hp is NOT cutting it. I was looking for around 175ish, nothing brutal or insane. This is a DD after all. Is this s good idea? One thing to note, I WILL NOT be swapping. This this runs like a f***ing swiss clock. Also, money is tiiiiiight so its going to be next summer before I buy the turbo. I'm looking to spend $800-1000...maybe $1200 on the kit and whatever the dyno tune will cost to go with it. Any good kits you guys can point me to? Or good threads if this is the 10 trillionth thread asking the same damn question. lol
