Default V-tec turbo

Anyone know any forums or sites i can visit for some ideas on a civic turbo?

Or if anyone on here knows about them?

Cheers Billy

They can be done pretty cheap but imo i would prefer a good spec n/a motor as and make it go round corners instead of straight line pace.

try hondaevolutions and crx-uk

Personally id fuck the UK sites right off and head here...

http://www.honda-tech.com/zeroforum/16

Turbos are miles more common there, so info is much easier to come by, esp if you dont plan to pay a tuner thousands for the privalege.

There not cheap to build properly, and as for them being wank i hardly see how 150bhp from a 1.6 n/a motor produced in 1990 that is capable of over 200k miles without issues is as you say "toilet duck".

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm 1.6 cvh or b16a let me think lol

Daft yanks tho, deffo, but know a lot fucking more than the folk here

try ek9.org & k20a.org. the K series is a amazing engine. many people get 600bhp from them without changing any internals.

It's called offering advice and alternatives, and now, anyone that didn't know that useful nugget of information has now been further enlightened by your comment.

As long as it fires the spark plugs at the right time and fires the injectors at the right time, the management could be controlled by a Commodore 64 for all I care.

I find quite the opposite, sites like hondatech and homemadeturbo are full of moronic sheep who dont know their arse from their elbow..
