Hello,
My mom got a new car and i just got my moms old civic, but the battery is dead. So i jumped it and it worked still makes a weird nice, and the next day it died. So im guessing something with my battery is messed up.

What should i do?
Thank you- Gabe A

 

Replace the battery.

 

Well thats what i was assuming, Know how much battery is? Why is it doing that tho

 

i paid about 70 with a core but my battery isnt a oem type,
but you can get them from like 39 and up.

 

oh really? not to bad. Yeah i think i might go buy one soon because my car is dead =[, is putting turbo on a 170k car a good idea?

 

ah, some say yes, because the piston has a lil more room to expand, but i wouldnt inless you have pistons and rods, how much bost are you looking to run?

 

i was thinking 12-16?

 

then not a good idea. btw the stock honda map sensor only reads a little over 11psi

 

yikes i did not know, im young and new to the honda game. So it would be nice to help me out

 

all 12-16 will get you is a blown motor, quickly, stock singles cant handel that.
how young??

 

16 dude, But my civic is really really slow. Very disappointing , i need better acceleration. How do i improve?

 

put 5-6 psi on it with a little turbo for some fast spool to beat your buddies on the street and you will have a fun car and learn a lot for the experience. just do some research before you put the kit on. there are tons of FAQs in the F.I. forum for the DIYer

 

How much will 5-6 psi charge me

 

i remember being 16, cash was hard to come by. and a turbo'd civic isnt cheap

 

what engine code is your honda and is it auto or 5 speed

 

you got a while to learn till you should have a turbo car man.
i know man i have a stock civic dx and its slow.....
intake, header, exhuast, tune, bascily it, inless you swap a y8 or something in. 5spd right??

 

Sorry dont know the engine . But its 5 speed manual. Stock honda civic 2000 lx

 

Im 17 and I can barely come by enough money to put gas in my civic.

 

lx, so its a y7, inless it was swapped.

 

I feel you 96 dx, i barley get income but for turbo i do anything

 

No swap

 

well at least you got a 5sp, ok pop your hood, and right under the upper rad hose there will be a stamp on the block is should say d16y7 if its stock.

 

Ill pop it tomorrow, its 2 30 am here, but il let you know

 

here is some more good advice, dont boost a y7. swap the IM or the hole head. I have had lots of problems boosting on the y7. just check out your local craigslist for some turbo stuff and see what you find

 

slow but do you know how much is it
