If you go the turbo just wait till the good ol hot Australian days- i had a turbs, but now i gotta b16b and have not once looked back. But in your situation im sure the turbs will yiueld a lot more fun!! - especially if you plan on giving it the ass later, just thrash the fck out of it, have your fun, then go for reliability later

Go back through ' fishman ' post history.... all you can see is just bullshit he posts in other peoples threds, a little different to my post history and aza's
yeah good old hot days then why not spend an extra grand on cooling then..... just coz its a D doesnt mean its prown to heat over a B do it right the first time and you wont have the trouble of over heatingQuote:

i had same dilemma, i picked turboing it. SOHC has more potential with turbo anyway since only one cam has to be driven (from what i heard)
hey peoplez i gots the same
Car: 98 honda civic VTI coupe
but appart from turbo or engine swop, like what about legal stuff, rego probs and like if coppaz lookin and stuff??
like if u change engine dont u need to some blue slip or somethin? and if turboed anything like that too?
prob cost alot more right? need to take it in to consideration.
im such a nooob at this cos i do everything my self and dont have much space to do it eather.
Im a ricer lol only engine mod gots not even considered, i gots me self a nice filter lol haha, of course decked out sound and lcd and all thos nice electronic stuff.
OHHH MAN cant forget the first thing car seat covers man make car go FAST lol
a blue plate / slip is a enginerrs certificate stamped with the appropraite code... do a search man
id keep the engine if u got vti-r, engine swaps are only worth it if youre cursed like me with no vtec yo
98 dont have VTIR, we gots Sohc Vtec.
If i had vtir i wouldent even be thinking about swop out lol cos all u need then is Turbo for sure if u want more power, or maybe SuperCharge.
Not many people in Australia have supercharged Hondas right?
i have seen 1 or 2 s/c kits on hondas but really more support all round for turbo imo from my experience
Yeah thats the one. Very very nice carQuote:
