I know its only 3 and my baby needs a bath lol but hey i work 10 hour days and it rained quite a bit in the last 2 weeks here... soo ill stop making excuses and here

Front

Side

Back

I have some future plans.... like
b16 swap
turbo...

1 question all these people that have turbo.... how hard is it to put twin turbo on a b16 or if you even can? I know it will cost more... but i wanna do everything right the first time...

body kit
rims
interior

and last but not least
system haha i done blew my amp up soo it sux....

no big rush on mods.... i plan this taking me 2 - 3 years to complete

so say what you want heh im open to opinions on what i should do with the civic...

wanna know what i think? engine first, body last. nobody cares how your car looks if it's slow.

and skip the twin turbo idea, a turbo per two cylenders is kind of am unrealistic idea, and would look rediculous since you have 1 intake manifold. twin turbo setups are for more of a v engine setup with two intake manifolds, i.e. audi rs6 v8 bi turbo.

you can make plenty of power with one turbo, even on your d-series. just build the block to stand boost and you're good. i know that alot of people hate on turbo d's, but i've seen them hit 11's. in fact, i've filmed them doing 11's.

i dont want to disencourage you from going with a b16 though, they have alot more potential than your d16y8... it's just a matter of how much moola you got flowing through your pockets.

whatever you do, good luck!

thnx....

i was kinda ify about the whole twine turbo thing i seen a vid of a twin turbo civic and i was like hmmm i wonder.... but yea everyone where i live its friggin ricer city.... body kits aem cold air and thats it a few have rims....

i want power then trick up the body some....

so.... if i dont got gobbz of cash coming in how hard would it be to rework the block to handling boosts? or better yet how much $$$ will i be putting out?

 

[Mr. Lin]

If you want to go turbo, I'd suggest the B18C1. Like racecarl said, build the block to stand boost. That's true for turbo'd car. Of course start with your essentials I/H/E and then build from there ...

 

[anekin007]

motor + turbo setup + labor = at least $10,000 .. then you would still need to upgrade the internals.

 

[civicguy19]

dayum fo0k that lol... ill just go with the b16 or 18 swap haha

 

[Eg_Project]

damn nice car.....make it a sleeper

 

[civicguy19]

That is true.... some people make dreams come true and the others are full of talk.... i already have a list wrote out on first to last and have prices figured and actually already began saving... i only make $7.55/hr working 40 hr weeks in the winter and 50 hour weeks in the spring/summer with overtime pay so you wont see a huge change in looks or power untill this spring/summer/fall so i can get more $$$ coming in...

edlebrock makes a turbo kit for the civic ex and you can snatch it for bout $3300 its complete and is promising 176hp at the wheels
