I plan on my civic being a long term project with a turbo'd integra type-r engine being the final addition. what are peoples thoughts on this? has anyone out there already done it, and if so what was your opinion of it? ohhh and what sort of power would it be looking at making?
Cheers

how bigs your wallet. 10k would not be enough.
like z3lda said, will cost alot... its a longterm thing, so it won't be that amount in one go... something unique and gutsy is a good thing to own and be proud of... good luck mate! just keep in mind too that if you go doing something like that, money will have to be spent on handling and brake upgrades etc... :thumbsup:
Yeah i was thinking of turboing my civic but then when u work out the cost of everythign u have to do i sort of backed down!
But if u could do it all right and u have the money to damn that would b so sweet as and damn that would fly!
yeah. to turbo a civic, with a type r engine, you are gonna spend like mega dollars. Not very worth it in my opinion. however, if you've got the $$ to spend, and if i were you, i'd go for something more unique, like souping it up, NA Style. 2liter block, cams close ratio gears and the works. imagine you smokin a turboed car with pure NA Power.... how cool is that!!!
Dude there’s no point putting a turbo on a type R motor. Your better off getting a VTIR B18c whacking a type R gearbox on it and turboing that. You’re talking about running boost on a high compression engine. If anything the money you save by getting a VTIR engine you can spend that on upgraded rods and nice set of low comp pistons and turn the boost up
The only real advantage of Type R motor is the gearbox (4.7 drive, light flywheel and Factory LSD)
if u do keep me posted on costs and wat sort of turbo u chose etc..
good luck
did someone say turbo?!
LOL
if ur rich, do wat u want...
if ur not, stick to type r engine and work that SLOWLY - or save for bout 10yrs
i agree with thisQuote:

dude if ur gonna do that, start saving for one. Then, wave goodbye to traction, and give a hearty welcome to torque steer. Sell ur car, buy a DC2R and play it safe.
high compression and turbo is fun. use a GT28RS, 550cc injectors, a nice EMS and say hello to a great street car ;)
