im with him...if you willing to go thru, and it your first time... i would play it safe and get a kit :D i know it kinda expenisve but it will be worth it in the long

greddy or apexi turbo kits are both good :D

 

kits are a rip off

youre better off saving more money and doing it right the first time

or you can go ahead and "boost the **** out of it" and rebuild it...or possibly blow the motor to complete **** and you'll need another motor

doin it right is cheaper in the end

 

cams, springs, retainers, and some port and polish could give you some nice numbers. Boosting for 1.5 is half *** in my opinion. Look around in the Forced Induction fourm.

 

my bad I ment all motor fourm not forced induction fourm

 

If you go turbo do it right, don't be ghetto and make 1500 work for a setup.

Think about hondata and a built head, assuming you already have an intake/header/exhaust

 

best bet is to get a busted *** EF and put the swap in there.

em1's are pigs.

exactly, swap that thing in a hatch or crx, and you will have a fast *** car
