I have no clue where to post this but hopefully this is the right spot. I have a 93 Honda Civic Hatchback with a Type R in it. I don't know if I should turbo it or go all motor.......I just wanna hear some feedback from both sides and some input so let me know what I should do. Thanks!

 

I would post here

 

do a search. This has been asked a billion times. Go to the all-motor/forced induction forums. IMO I'd just leave it alone. Save your money man.

 

theres nothing like the desire for more power


until you realise how poor it has made you


stock is best

 

All Turbo YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Do a nice headpackage with some higher CR pistons, tune it, install a 4.928FD of some sort (ATS, M-Factory, SRR if you can find one), and a nice header, intake, and exhaust. You'll have a blast running 12s with 200whp or so, with tight gearing.

Plus, it's all motor reliable, so you'll never have to work on it... Unless you screw up and forget that when you're at top of third gear, you're supposed to go into fourth, and NOT second.

That's my personal opinion.

That's my plan, no turbo or supercharger.

 

how can we answer the question when we dont know your budget? Or are you just dreamin?

 

budget is alright, i have a dsm for sale so my budget will prolly be about 3 grand

 

3k won't got far in the turbo world

 

Yeah thats what I figured. I do need a reliable car to get me from point A to point B so I figured not take the chance with the turbo and all the problems if there are that many to deal with.

What are you talking about? You can build a nice setup for under $3,000. He's talking about stock engine, so I don't think he'd need a $2,400 GT4780R or anything.

 

I guess I'm the only one the voted Turbo To do everything right even with a cheaper kit will run you around 4kish (Using peakboost turbosetup as reference)after tune etc. Thats if you can do the work yourself.

I don't understand why anyone would swap in a Type-R engine, only to boost it... You can build a B-Series to handle boost, for a LOT cheaper than buying a stock Type-R engine.

 

^ Agree, after your done building the motor etc, you pretty much have a reinforced GS-R which is what you should start with if your buying a swap. Save the cash and put the rest toward the turbo kit.

 

Funny this thread was created since I'm considering joining the darkside................shhhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone **taps fingering scheemingly**

 

^ Pimp wheels and now joining the darkside Are we twins or what

Great minds think alike

 

im really new to all this, but just thought id add in my plan on my type r. im already running i/h/e and im planning on throwing in diff cam shafts for a bit more power. you dont need too much when u have a type r. i take out wrx's srt4s with my 4dr ek b18c5. there isnt too much need for a 10second car if you need it to get you from point a to point b then back to point a without using a whole tank of gas. thats just my opinion

 

Before you do anything, please research, or ask. What intake, header, exhaust do you have? What cams are you thinking of?

 

I spent about 6 months of researching all the possible areas. Mistakes can be costly if your doing it yourself. Go to the forced induction forum and ask as many questions as you can.

 

I've been researching/considering different setups since I got my car 16 months ago, and I've finally settled on my plans.

Consider EVERY POSSIBLE OPTION, before settling. This proves true with most things in life.
