i have a '93 civic EX coupe and i want to turbo it but i heard the motor in that car is built for strictly good gas mileage so it couldn't handle it? is this true? would i have to get a new motor?
- Thanks

actually the z6 can handle 8 to 10 psi on stock internals and still be very reliable. just make sure you get a good tune before you drive it too much.

There is a write up on another site chronicling an EBAY Turbo You should read it! It answers alot of questions about turbo setups on single cam engines. I'm NOT saying"buy an EGayTurbo"

if you got 7k to blow go for it.

as for which one to get. the cheapest way is to piece one together yourself. it takes a little longer but you will save alot in the end.
