Just don't ruin ur experience of driving it, I mean the Civic has to be one of the best mass produced front wheel drive cars made - wasn't really engineered to have a turbo, Civics live for dynamics, balance, handling not straight out hp - I mean was your mate really going to be able to get all that power down anyway...

A DC2R engine would be a better alternative imo if you even go ahead with it - I remember watching a Best Motoring DVD on the CTR and the head of Spoon was saying if he could make any modification it would be to fit the 1.8 DC2R engine :)

Oh yea 100% agree with you there... but i cant justify ever speading heaps, an cheapest alternative to give any car a boot is a mouth full of boost... power wise, getting power down is really no issue, just depends on few other factors, tires, suspension an Driver... With a turbo kit, good suspension setup, id say it be as good as any other b18 swapped civic out there, an most important, cheapest :D

Even my stock d-series atm, cai an cat back is wheel spining a bit doin a 4000rpm launch...(controlled enironment) 1st gear, but than again, its down to the driver lol

Sick of hearing ppl saying go B-series this an that, ppl who tend to say stuff like that obvious hasnt been in a boosted d-series, nor to even think about it... Its been proven in the states, an now iev had 1st hand experience, im convinced now lol

do it man, itll be good to c another boosted D in melb

It all depends on the complete setup. Turbo d is a great alternative to na b because its a little cheaper and goes just as hard. My mate's turbo eg is on 12 pound making 143kw at the treads no wheels spin nothing comes onto boost at 2 and a half all the way through its amazing

in a few years, i wouldn't mind turbo/supercharging me D, i'd rather the supercharger :) either that or buy a new car but i love my civic

my mate was tryna find a jacksons racing super charger kit, no luck, an id imagine it be a bitch to install, an $$$$, i remeber ages ago there was one kit for sale, for d-series ,no idea were it went to

yea i looked on the Jackson racing site a while back... they have superchargers for K's but none for D's :/


Also bought Kicker DS600.2 splits for my fronts :)

its very rare to find a D super charge, mainly for Bs and Ks.

but to super charge a D wouldnt gain very much, as a turbo would

yea, as a daily, its good, low to mid range power band, cant complain, but top end, turbo will win, an price wise lol

yea, it seems that way :( i've seen B's, K's, H's and F's superchargers

I actually thought supercharging was a good idea too, cause the Civics don't have much low-end mid-range punch, which for me, is where most of my driving is done - i don't go too high end (ie above 6k - feel so guilty LOL!) - i guess there aren't many people who power up d series engines, hence why manufacturers don't make too many of them...

I wonder which would win in a sprint to 100... mmm...

How much do you think (just kinda ball park) - for a) B series b) turbo c) super

turbo kits at least $5k + install?

looks like the D Series use the M45 JR supercharger kits: http://www.revscene.net/forums/fs-ja...-t341772.html?
