thanx heaps guys honestly this forums helped a heck of a lot now, both knowledge with civics and my patience :P
btw im gonna get a 92 si as they pump 96kw.... its got a bigger exhaust to help a bit with top end power ..
might turbo it later down the track when i get sick of its performance now...
nice mate, thats a good choice, while your driving it around and getting used to it, also do research on what you can do with it, whether NA or F/I so when the time comes and your sick of how its performing, you already have a knowledge base to start modding it on.
thanx appreciate the advise... the only thing im worried about is its a 92 model... claiming 85,000 km???
i know these are easy to alter so might speak to rta about it...
man you need to do some research before you post a thread like this !!
comming from audi turbo ? so you're goin from luxury euro with torque to a torque-less 1.6L non-vtec povvo-pack civic ?
you dont like vtec ??? do u know what vtec is ? basically a stock D16 non vtec plus LPT bolt-on Turbo kit = SIMILAR performance to a stock NA B16 swap.. so your "i dont like vtec' statement is already out the window.
having said THAT..
EG "Si" is your best option if you "dont like vtec" (LMFAO!!) as it's ~120 HP (SOHC VTEC "VTi" is ~125HP) which is the most powerfull standard non-vtec motor found in 91-94 EG civics.
if you MUST stay non-VTEC and you want turbo.. I'd suggest getting an EG civic (Si,GLi,VTi) and swapping in a B18B (DOHC NON-VTEC) then adding a hairdryer.. but having a turbo honda isnt exactly "different" hahaha.
rightt got ya..
so back to what i was saying, im kinda worried about how low those kms are i hope that vcheck site helps out... what are common issues with these cars i should keep an eye out for
jks ill keep it in mind, im not a fan of vtec, just turbo.. not bcuz of power but i just like em, past 2 cars have been turbo and im not over it... not dissin vtec its cool dood.
neways do i have to do an engine swap, can i just slam a turbo onto current engine...
you can put a turbo on any combustion engine.
as long as it requries air and fuel it can be done.
but whether or not its good depends on what you buy.
if you're after bargain stuff.
TD04 from a WRX, find a cheap manifold, use a chipped ecu. fuel injection is a must, and you dont have to do an engine swap if your D series motor is Fuel Injected.
The boys suggested the right stuff find an EGsi get used to that, and then buy your parts and stuff.
sweet okay well im looking into this si... its done up nicely ill post pics when i buy it, if u guys do cruises i dont mind joining in (for those who already wanna st*b me heres ur chance) jks
ill keep u guys posted...
but before i let this go, what should i keep my eyes peeled for (problems with car)?

where are u located?
my mate has an EG SOHC VTEC TURBO car going up for sale in a bout 2months. its VERY neat and well looked after if ur interested?
ill go anywhere in australia, but trust me he'll be asking a price which would work out cheaper if i do with a private mechanic / relative...
is it the red sedan, im after a hatch to be honest... im in sydney
okay he turned out to be a fraud... kms where clicked back 100,000 :(
i dont think i wanna report him to cops i said i would, his packing it but thats enough for now i guess...
what if i get a gli, and just swap engine?
