Hey people,
just in the process of trying to figure out which option would be more benficial.
I've got a EG Civic sedan GLi so has the d15b7 engine.... so would it be better to turbo the d15b7, do a mini-me conversion and then turbo or do a b16a conversion.... with hte eventual aim of turbo?
i've been doing research but couldn't find a lot of info.... wanted to know which options are cheapest and most cost effective? i don't want the fastest civic but just want a bit more power, more torque and to have a bit more fun with my car
and also is it worth putting a turbo on hte d15b7 cos of non-vtec? and will the stock internals hold up on about 6-8psi for a daily driver?
thx for any help guys

if cost is a problem you should definatly go the d as they can go suprisinly hard turboed. but if not go the b

so doesn't really matter that i dun have vtec? or would it be better to do a mini-me to get vtec and tehn boost? or is that pretty much a waste of money? as in.... if going to do that might as well get a b16a front cut?
