Ok so I have looked around and asked so many people but I still am a little shakey on this so I am asking you all. I have the D17a engine with a few bolt ons but someone told me that my engine was a POS and I was a little let down because i thought i had a decent car.. Well the thing is I want my car to hit harder than it does and I have talked to people telling me that all i would have to do is boost with a turbo or something like that which I would do but I want to know what kind of HP or torque I would be getting out of my car. But some other people told me to do a k20 swap but I have heard that since the K20 is a newer engine there aren't too many parts floating around for the engine and if you try to boost it doesn't boost well. So someone told me to just get a b16 or b18 and boost that and if i did a top in on it and some other stuff I could have a beast of an engine and another person told me to get the older civic engine(d16) engine.
What I really want to know is how can I get my car to be a little speed demon and I don't think I want to k20 swap my car so don't tell me that. I also have an auto trany would it be better to have a manual?
I'm just a little confused by it all.
