Maybe 160hp. Every motor is different.

I dont think anyone should spend the kind of money that a turbo requires.... only to get 160-170hp..... that's just not logical....

get a different car..

turbo for your existing car = downpayment on a much better car

12-14 hp per lb. of boost is standard.

It's not your money nor your car. If he wants to turbo it let him. We could say the same about your car too, but do we?

having been there and done that.. i'd have to say the massive bills and money i have blown on turbo'n a honda.... was well... a lesson learned... just trying to give the guy a reality check before he dumps 5k in a turbo setup only to get <200hp.... then realizing that his 5k woudl have been a nice down tward say a new __________ (iinsert car)...

been there done that.... 16k down the tubes... 16k that could have went tward a car with more potential and creature comforts...

what would you buy if you had 16k to put as a downpayment?

don't tellme a 95hp civic/integra and build a turbo setup... open your mind to the bigger picture.... (Dustin has an NSX after he realized his mistakes.... )

i have had a powerful v-8, but the gas mileage sucked. so i switched and i find some comfort in tricking out a d series because in my town, there are very few.
