Re: Is it worth it? Turbo . 94 Honda Civic
Nobody can answer this, honest truth. The question is to ask yourself if it's worth it to you.
(Please don't take that in the wrong way, but really it's so subjective and no two people are going to give you the same answer. Everyone's situation is their own.)

Assuming the motor is healthy, you can do it for about two grand if you shop around and piece your own kit together. I actually have a great starting point for you, if you decide to go that route. You should be able to safely get ~180WHP out of that motor.
A comparable swap (B18C5) would cost you more than twice that for the motor alone.

LOL yes, those are ****, they're no where near a complete kit, and when they blow up in under a year, you'll be lucky if they don't take your motor with them. Build your own setup from reputable, used parts, and you'll be a lot better off.

Hmm will I guess time to save up. Not sure if I should go for it as you said it is around $1k+ , I've seen full used Turbo kits on CL pretty cheap. do you suggest used or build one myself with parts.

Build one yourself, from used parts. That's what I did on my Y7, made 200WHP, paid all total a hair under $1500. I also spent a year piecing together everything, waiting until I found deals on everything.
