boosting or supercharging my 1.3 civic
my mate put this idea into my head and i said id put a post up to see if its possible.
the car is a 95 eg 1.3 dx so would there be anyway round turbo'ing or s/c'ing the 1.3 carbed engine, would it need alot of internal work etc and as for power gains what would i be looking at or would it be better to change the engine to something else. At the moment this is just a thought and im genuinely curious could it be done to an engine like mine if it can i might just do it. thanks

1.3..you need more displacement for sure. if you just got a bigger better motor you would probably be happy with that. but a d13....do they make turbo manifolds for that motor? supercharger would not be much help with it.
i say turbo or new motor...
this is what i did. i got a bigger motor and turboed that

Just Get a Ls n you will be happy! No Need to waste your money on that motor. B series have crazy amount of aftermarket support.

you can turbo any thing, but what you have to ask yourself is this, what will be easier to do. i say if you are dead on staying with a sinlge jingle boost a d15 or 16 and call it a day alot of turbo parts for those motors, if you want to get into the b world or k you gonna have to pay to play so under stand that which ever route you go a decent amount of money will be involved

its easy and you can walk all over Bseries all day long...unless they are real built
anyways you dont have to build a Dseries just put a turbo on it.
it depends how much power youwant. stock engines can take alot
