Head swap + turbo on a d15b7 (102hp)
I just bought a Civic EX 1993 (canadian model = LX usa) 4 door would like to mod
easily..
Head swap is gonna be easy as for what I saw but what about turbo ?
I want the 150hp make minimum, so if someone who done it before could tell me
what he did and what I need (parts) it would be really apreciated.

Are you asking if you can turbo the motor? cause you can. Just search around and you will find many threads on what to do and what not to do.

Well I have looked thru the forum a bit, found many good info.
I'm looking for a Z6 or Y8 headswap and a way to up the HP by another 30hp easily...
heard Turbo / NOS are not that easy to put in a car.. need a LOT of tunning and DIY parts..
I'm more of the old school... need more hp? get bigger piston and get the block rebuilt
I just want a reliable car that I can have some street fun with it.

Re: (Icefire)
imo i think that if u go turbo, use a z6 head and if u want a higher compression use a y8 head. if u plannin to go the NA route u can always use oem parts too. like zc pistons,y8 3 layer head gasket, n wut not.
