Hello,

I want to turbo my 96 Civic Hatchback and would like to make it as cheap as possible. I was going to get an ebay one

but having second thoughts because people say they suck. Is there anyway to turbo my car for around $1200 with tune? If not, how much more would I need?Thanks

 

$1,200 with tune? are you nuts? a decent turbo will run around $800 alone.

 

that why i'm asking how much more. i kinda guess that it wouldn't cost that low

 

check some of the forums u can get good used parts and piece a kit together only way ur going to get close to that

 

or should i just swap out for a d15b or d16y8 or d16z6 for boost. or i might get a ls swap if i can find one, if my engine isn't healthy enough to handle boost

 

i'm running an ebay kit and having good luck with it. but i also got pistons, rod bolts, head studs, etc etc when i put it together. i spent around 2800 with everything and tune.
