Hey everyone,
I'm looking to get a new eg, I was thinking about a single cam vtec turbo what do you all think about this. and let me know why please

 

Single cam vtec turbo is a great start for the honda world. EG's are light, handle very well and like all civics are cheap to mod.

I'd suggest some supporting mods to go along with your turbo build such as suspension upgrades, cooling, nicer tires.. etc..

 

easy and grea way to start ^^^^^ , one of the cheapest ways to get some high HP. and could move onto a good project if you do it right.
ok if u get a kit and get it installed and tuned right then ur car will eb fine and the only fuel upgrade u will need is some injectors, pump, and fpr. Also for a daily driver 6-7 psi is fine with the kit tuned properly. If you wanna go more htan that u will have to redo the internals of the enie i.e. resleeve it, new rods/pistons, and other things but for a daily driver any kit will be fine but just make surwe to get it tuned right.Tuning is the most importnat factor when going turbo. Also when going FI(forced induction) then you will need a fuel management system and a boost controller to mkae everything run good. For a daily driver i wouldnt worry about anything but getting a place to get it tuned right. hope this helps a lil

 

Thanks for the Help this will be my first civic ever i have an american car a fiero gt im just sick of it i have always been inlove with honda Eg's and all of my friends are into them, and several have k20 swaps and h22 they all said ohh we will help you with this and with that... but i still feel the need to learn something about it, If any 1 is into fiero's i put the stock 2.8L engen back in it and its for sale, dont think i will get any here but just letting you know its out there.

Thanks for the help everyone, i cant wait to be a honda boy.

There's a lot of good info out there on doing a nice and/or cheap turbo setup, and generally a handful for sale at any given time.

I went from an LT1 B-body to an NA SOHC hatch and it was like going from a boat to a car. The hatch was tons of fun to drive (tight handling, nice brakes, I kinda miss it) only problem being that it was just too slow, even coming from a modest amount of HP (~300 maybe). A turbo should take care of that. And ownership costs are pretty low (parts are reasonabe, you don't need to replace a pair of 255/-/17s all the time).

 

Sohc Turbo can be a force to be rekon with.
