swap in a k20a3 (i think thats the type-s) then build up the internals to hold 25psi, and make sure ur car can get enough fuel to boost it then buy a turbo and boost the sh*t out of it. hehehe........but yeah, if you have the money swap it, and then turbo that sh*t. :D

K20a3.rsx base/civic si
K20a2.rsx type s.
HKS turbo doesnt exist for 7thgen, you cant buy one.I know HKS made protype one while ago. What do you want to do with your car? Show? Race?

16 and turbo don't mix.

But if you're gonna go all out with a turbo, nothing less than Stafford Fabrications... because there's nothing better than Stafford Fabrications.

man don't swap a RSX-S motor. You already have the block. I say go N/A first. You will smoke RSX-S left and right anyday. Swaping it is a big waste of money. Just upgrades is the way to go.

Dude your 16, just use the car to go to highschool and stuff, and just go all out on it when your older. Just have something reliable.

On the other hand, do it now while you have the money for the car, cuz later you wont have it cuz you will have bills up the wazzo. Its a lot harder to do things to ur ride once your out of highschool. cuz you will have rent, collage, serisious girlfreind, etc.........been thier done that.

hks only makes a manifold for the 7thgencivic and a flange for a crappy t25 turbo. The manifold is a log type manifold, the worst you can buy

Ya stay away from the log manifold... for one thing they are ass ugly. Try to get an equal length manifold. they look very nice.

yup exactly, having a factory warenty and a car thats payed off by the time you get out of college is a great thing to have8) besides in 5 years or so the'll be a bigger aftermarket for that car. keep it stock for now and don't waste your money
