im looking into evrything im going to need to turbo my civic
do i need to change my pistons in my car if im keeping it under 200hp?
do i need to do anything?

 

I second this question. Mines a bonestock 96 Cx. With 159,000 original kms.

 

First, start off by checking the health of the motor. Do a compression check. If the numbers are good and within 10% of each other, you're fine. As far as using stock pistons, a good tune will allow stock internals up through 230 hp! My friend in town is tuned on the hack (not good), but makes 231hp DD! We call it his miracle motor. LOL
