Default Information on Turbos

I have a 92 honda civic hatchback with a b18b1 engine in it. I want to eventually turbo charge it and turn it in to a little toy. Nothing big just a little fun. I plan to rebuild my engine with all new internals first. I want to plan a little and find out what all I will need for the entire build. Also what compression pistons will I need that will work well with the turbo and also is driveable before I get the turbo. I'm new to the whole performance part of things. Any and all information on products I will need is very much appreciated.

Well, unless your civic hatchback is an Si, your engine isn't gonna be great candidate for being a performance engine. That's something to consider, that you should buy a different engine to rebuild. Consider at least a d16z6 or a B series.

Thread moved to Forced Induction as that is your plan and goal.

See the rules sticky at the top of the FI forum and edit your first post to include all relevant information required.

Thanks.

I think you need to do some more research then! Also you didn't give a power goal so half of your question is redundant. Turning it into a "little toy" could be as low as 200hp for some. I know most people underestimate what a 300hp civic feels like. Anyway I digress, tell us what power you want, then we can nudge you in the right direction.

Edited his post the following day. I'm sure the engine info wasn't in there.

It's always helpful to read the FAQ and search before making redundant threads.
