ouch.. sounds like an awful lot of trouble for just an sr20det. Why did you choose an sr20? Why not something else?

depending what engine you have, but in most cases, turbo your existing engine. ie. with the internals and a bolt on turbo kit. it will be alot easier and cost less than doing a "custom" installation of SR20DET into your civic. dont forget, it will be alot easier for you to get it engineered ;)
why not h22a turbo! ive got a spare engine being built which im going to sell soon! it will rock in a civic!!!
From what I've heard, a turbo H22A will still only pull mid 13 to 13 flat second quarters in an EG, which isn't all that fast for what? $10k worth? A B16A will only cost ~$4k and will get you to around 14 flat. Turbo that and you should be around the 13s with ~$10k, except the engine will be lighter. If you wanted, you could possibly put a FWD SR20DE into a Civic for ~$5k and then turbo that... At least then it'd be FWD. But yes, it's all a lot of money... and you won't see ANY of it when you sell your car. Sell it and get something with an SR20DET in it.Quote:

I think its crazy to SR20 a civic... Way too much money involved........
i think my motor will blow if i turbo it?
Sorry man, but u gonna need to spend a lot more than 4k to get a b16a EG to 14 flat... that 4k might cover the engine swap but u still gonna need a lot of mods to pull a low 14 passQuote:
