    Question turbo on an 02 civic

    i have the basic bolt ons... headers, exhaust, cai, etc.. I have plans to put on a turbo. The only concern is that its an automatic.(even though i hear that its not that big of a problem b/c i wont lose boost in between shifts). My question is what is the best next move.? My goals are 200+... any help is apprecaited!

    Doesn't this car has a plastic intake manifold?

    This civic was a total fail performance wise. If you're wants to get boosted, sell the car and get another generation civic that actually has aftermarket support.

    The auto trans in that year model civic is weak. I say just do a K swap. Or, I have an even better idea... Just sell the car and buy something that is a lot better base for modifications than a 02 civic. Those year model civics are the worse in terms of availibility of performance modifications and reliability after said modifications are installed.

    The tans in those year civics are shitty, just saying.... Every manual(5-speed) I've ever seen, needs new main shaft bearings before 100K, Hell my buddy's need his at 27K.... Like someone else said it would be better to sell or trade for an older one.... Speaking of I have an 00 EX if ur interested.....
