2k1 civic needs boost?

[parr`sh]

I am not seeing a whole lot of possibilities for a bolt on turbo kit.
Anyone have any suggestions on building a custom kit?

I am conisdering this over all motor b/c all motor will cost over 7k for what I want.. and it may only produce 25-30 more whp...

i am wondering how much the core parts..
turbo manifold, blow off valve, downpipe, and turbine run individually .
and where i can find some possible prices for D17a2 parts

thanks,,rpc

I think you could drop a K20A in there for less than 7G's...if you are able to do the swap yourself.

But I highly doubt I could do the swap by myself.

Why do you say that? Because you never did it? There's only one way to learn man, and that's by doing it.

Take a few weeks researching the K20 swap and all it's "ins and outs" for the 2K1 Civic, gather all the parts you'll need and the motorset then set aside a whole weekend to do the swap. Any tools you don't have such as an engine lift can be rented, so as long as you have the driveway/garage space you can do it. You and 2 good(mechanically inclined) friends should be able to figure it out with all of the resources on the net.

But expect the unexpected, and if you're missing something you didn't foresee after the car is apart prepare to have a back mode of transportation.

Personally I think you'd be alot more satisfied with a K20 swap, not to mention, it will be a stock motor. And if you can manage to grab one from a USDM RSX and leave all of the emissions systems intact, it will be emissions legal too.
