played the good child act lol havent got a ticket yet, run errands for them, and other things. Nah i will be paying for it if i get it, it basically all depends what i decided to do about my engine, right now my options are either

1) engine swap
2) turbo the d
or
3) find a used 240 and swap an SR20 engine into it

my brother after i told him i was thinking about swapping my engine or turboing it said if it were him he would keep the civic as a daily driver and buy a cheap 240 then do that swap rather than messing with putting so much money into a front wheel drive car. will have to see what happens though, still undecided

doesn't the stock engine come with 310cc injectors? im looking to get boosted, i have a D16Y8 with 43kin great condition. does this come with an intercooler and piping? I've never heard of a watercooled turbo, are you refering to the oil cooling it down?

 

The stock motor comes with 240cc injectors. Comes with charge piping but no intercooler. Oil cools and lubricates the turbo but it is also water cooled. Look up a turbo eclipse, all of them are water cooled.

 

Gotcha, I wasn't sure what the stock size was. 240 does sound familiar though. How much powerdid this turbo produce for you? What did you hook up the coolant line to for the turbo?does this also come with a downpipe?

 

I tapped into a line at the throttle body. I have no idea how much power it made. I ran a 14.9 at 93mph in the 1/4. Comes with a downpipe.

 

pm'ed, i think(still kinda new to this)
