Turbo options fr 1997 ek civic

[Bliss88]

Hi, i am interested in looking into options for adding some hp to my stock d16y engined civic- i would like to turbo her but as i am a newcomer to heavy mods i need a little guidance :-)

What is necessary to prepare for turbo, how do-able is it with the current engine etc.

Thanks!!!

Well the stock internals can only handle about 200-220whp, and thats with ARP headstuds and a new headgasket. So if you want some serious power you'll have to upgrade the internals. Here is a good site that has pretty much all the turbo info you need: http://beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html
Oh and welcome to the forums!
