a boosted k-20 would be badass.
WHATS THE BEST THING FOR A d17...TURBO OR ENGINE SWAP?

^ You're right. But how are you going to accomplish that? Once the k20 is in, do you think you'll have room for a turbo setup in that little engine bay? Say you are able to fit a custom turbo in there, how much will all that s**t cost you? Say money isn't a problem. After dropping a k20 with turbo setup in, the chances are you'd wanna show off to all your friends. Guess what? They'll likely mention you here and there to THEIR friends plus forums that they are in. And if you had a shop install all that crap for you, that's another problem. Now you gotta worry about security because of car theives. Professional auto theft can tell what kind of engine is under the hood by listening to your engine sound. And it doesn't take a professional driver to tell if you have turbo or not. You spend all the money such as alarm and camera. If they want it bad enough, they'll get it. Lo Jack may solve the problem, but it doesn't mean that your car won't get stolen.
Good, I would like to see some pics.pNOYjOSH said:

Damn Thats Sweet!!!!
yeah i don't remember if it was on here or 7thgen civic.com, but someone had a 300 something hp boosted D17 but he said the tranny couldn't hold it. Something to consider. I'd be happy with 200whp personally. I'm thinking after I get a short throw/clutch and flywheel that I'll look into building a turbo kit.joe7987 said:
