Default turbo in my d15b7

i have a 94 civic dx coupe with 114k miles and it runs pretty good. is it worth strapping on a turbo or should i do work on the body first until i get enuf money to swap a b18?

Since you are planning on swaping in the future, why not just save the money you would spend on a turbo for your swap?

Do whatever you want. Why are you asking people on the internet if you should make your car fast or pretty first?

IMO, turbo the d15b7. That's what I did and it was quite the little sleeper.

any car with a mounted intercooler is not a sleeper.

My car is. Was going to a car meet for over a month before anyone knew I was turbo.

I heard the b7s were bad to boost beacause of the super-weak rods.

What B18 makes power to 8k? I assume the B18C, but I figured he was going with a B18B or B18A.
