Alright, well i have been trying to decide for a while, i have been having problems with my car passing smog ( high nox) But i believe that was because of clogged injectors and a motor that was starting to go. Well i put a 1.6l sohc non vtec d16a6 in last weekend. My buddy offered to install some rebalanced and cleaned injectors from RC engineering, to help me pass smog. Well i have been thinking about selling the car and getting a turbo all wheel drive talon, but i dont want payments, my civic is paid off and i also have a 88 chevy blazer that is almost paid off. So what do you guys think i should do, sell my civic and get a talon, or keep with the civic (im pretty broke right now) and try to smog it and then turbocharge it later on down the road? Im really confused right now and i want a turbocharged car. Post up your ideas, i really need some help on this one.

TIA

keep the Civic and just turbo it...

man an '88 Chevy not paid off... wow!!!
j/k

 

yeah man u should keep it and build the bottom end, and turbo it..

see i want the car to be at least somewhat smog legal with the turbo (which is why i am looking at greddy kits). As for my blazer i just bought it like a month ago, and i only have like two more payments on it. I have some connections at AEBS for the bottom end. But i dont know, anybody else have any more ideas??

 

keep the civic and boost it....... sure a AWD turbo would be fun but it would be more fun beating people in a turbo civic cuz nobody expects it. most people think civics are ricers so you can show them that not all civics are ricers

 

I'd go for the talon, already turboed from the factory.

 

A greddy kit on a EF is not legal...a buddy tried once and we had to just take it off to pass smog. No biggie. I'd keep the civic. They're simple and I don't know **** about the dsms

 

see the one thing i miss is the all wheel drive launches, ive had one talon run a 10.7 and another run a 12.5. But i dont know i had a civic run a 13 but thats not fast enough, needs to be faster.

 

Buy my bros talon

Black w/ tan leather, 105k, 4-bolt, 6-bolt, LSD, ABS, bad rings, mild body damage, $2500 +shipping.

My reasoning, cars are only fun w/ boost, and boost is not legal for you.
