Default 1998 honda civic hx (d16y5)

I just bought this car few months ago and I am ready to do some stuff with it so if you have any ideas just let me know, i really want to boost it also but every where i look on here it says its not a good idea. But I'm going to try anyways.

Going to boost it anyways? I'd like to see you do it.
Obviously you're a hard-headed individual if everything you've read and seen says it is not a good idea. It's been my experience that people like this are best left alone to their own devices because they're going to do what they want to regardless.

Sounds like it, if you can't realize that your Y5 is entirely the wrong platform to do it. Maybe you should try posting this in the Forced Induction forum and see what the experts have to say.

You picked the wrongcar with the wrong engine (lean burn) to try and boost. Move on.

No reason to help you then if you do not take solid advice, you picked the most fuel efficient 6th gen civic then want to make it turbo without knowing anything about it. Experienced member tell you that is a bad idea. Have fun getting advice later on.

You could try the forced induction forum on here, they might help you.

Read the Forced Induction FAQs if you want to learn about turbocharging an engine. How you say you're going to "try it anyway" and know very little to nothing about the subject doesn't quite make sense.

Trying to follow the logic of asking for advice then not taking it.

Boosting an hx is like boosting a prius
