Give me all the information you have!

I'll be looking for a new car come end of August, and I keep looking at EK Civics.
I've read countless times that VTEC's love a bit of boost, even the B16's, but what's the safe limit without opening it up?
Can you run a turbo conversion on the standard managment?
What's it like compared to N/A VTEC? I've been in a friends EK that was B16 powered and was very impressed with the way power is delivered. Most recently I've been in a friends DC5, that was awesome fun and loved being abused.

I wouldn't want daft power, but it seems you can get great results with minimal fuss?


If anyone's got any info then feel free to share!

Thanks
Ben.

A mate of mine had a ep3 civic type r
With a massive turbo and at 10psi and holding 8psi it was making 360bhp with various other internals

With the k20 the head flows so well that you have to run massive rear housings

Garage786 do a kit for a s2000 that runs unto 500bhp on stock internals which makes for engines look silly

RickyLee53 is his username on here I think... could be wrong though. He taught Chip quite a bit about boosted Honda engines from memory, there was a big thread about it all. Very interesting read.

thres a guy around here .. civic turbo done by street racers.. it dont last him a month.. ran it at 8psi it lasted 3 weeks.. then had it sorted.. raced me and melted his piston.. 3rd time repaired and ran 11psi was a quick car but eventually he sold it.. just make sure its done properly and made to last! rickylees cars are mental though they are fast!

B18c4 can make 300+ bhp reliably on a stock lump and management. Run hondata softwear. And a largish turbo at low boost.


And enjoy 8k of boosted screaming mentalist.

fatal error. dont trust any company with "street" or "racers" or "cruising" in the business name or moto. Just asking for some fucking idiot to ruin your car

mark r

theres over 7k spent there in parts easy to get 360bhp

mark r

better off just put a itr engine in the civic 200 ponnies job done
