Yeah, so I've got my hands on a 1997 Civic EX sedan and a 1995 Civic EX coup. Anyone got any ideas as to what I should do to em? I was thinking Greddy TD04h turbo kit and/or Jackson supercharger. I dunno, i want to do a lot of stuff, but there's only so much room under the hood. So....any ideas?
Modifying civic, help pleez

if ur gonna turbocharge a hybrid engine.. i would suggest the b18b, plenty of em around, cheap and its low compression = more boost!
Hmm, I might do the translpant to the 2 door someday, but I wanna work on the 4-dr for now. Can someone help me put together a list of a really good combonation of parts for it? '97 civic ex 4-dr? No new engines, but what? Turbo? supercharge? intake? exahaust? inter/aftercooler? hmmmm..........Whatcha all think?
thanks for helpin the new guy

Engines:

Options as far as motors go and what you can do with each:
B18C5- Integra Type R motor- 200hp, excellent engine for going naturally asperated. High compression, and loves to rev. Nice red valve cover too .
B18C1- Integra GS-R motor- 170hp, also good for N/A build up but also good for turbo or supercharging.
B16A2- Civic Si motor- 160hp, good for N/A and turbo/supercharging.
B18B- Integra LS motor- ???hp excellent for turbocharging. Stronger rods and low compression ratio.
Turbos:

Greddy makes some really nice kits. So does Drag. If you know what you are doing then you may want to build your own turbo kit, other wise you should probally get a pre-packaged one.
What else EXACTLY do you want to know? Did I miss anything?

well, say for example, i put a jackson supercharger in. what else could I add to improve performance more? what kind of inter/aftercooler should i add, if any at all? then, what kind of exahaust would help? etc. I sort of want to take this car to its maximum feasable limits

Do you plan on strengthining the block/head any?
I'd say get a turbo over a supercharger though... they usually make quite a bit more power

go to www.hybrid.honda-perf.org they have lots of info on the swap. Oh, do a swap then turbo!! D series motors suck (well, the d16 ain't too bad....but still not that fast). Get your hands on a couple b16's or b18's (maybe LS/VTEC??) and then boost the hell outta those bad boys. Superchargers aren't that great IMO, not very tuneable. And besides, I think almost everyone will agree that the sound of the turbo spooling up and the blow-off valves "pssssttttttttt" are very very nice

get this
First I would get a b18c5 complete swap. Then get dc sports headers aem cold air intake get a cat back exhaust, and to top it all get 100 shot of nos. it will cost you about 3 to 5 thousand dollars with a friendly hook up.

sorry to tell you guys this but you guys sound like a bunch of little kids. First off my friend you have to think about how much you are willing to spend. Second all the work that is going to have to be done i mean these guys are saying b18c1 then supercharge it, you know how much money that will cost you about 6-7 thousand dollars. Another thing you said you wanna push your car to the limit then swapping it out isnt pushing it to the limits.. Now in terms of superchargers or turbos imo i would supercharge the b18 but turbo the b16. well good luck on whatever you do man

You gotta start some where I guess. At first I wanted a GSR and a VENOM nitrous oxide kit. Then reality kicked me in the face and I decied that an 88 CRX was all I could afford.bogard said:ya im telling you these guys are dreaming. they sound like a bunch of kids in a toy store.
