sorry guys I'm trying to rep back, so don't think I'm being rude. I'm busy spreading reputation around before I can do any of u guys again. Lol, apparently the 10+ people I've repped today isn't enough.
hell yea, i didnt get a hang over ! !
okay you guys are really smart...so I have a question. I have a 00 Civic Lx & its an automatic...however I do want to make it faster..It has 126K on it right now and in the 3 yrs since I've bought it I put 72k of those miles on there...so neways since I'm averaging 24K a yr in mileage (will be more this yr due to I will be going to these pleasant hill meets & car shows since I will be showing this year as well)...OKAY HERE IS THE QUESTION!!! I want to make the Honder faster...yanno Turbo, the whole intercooler ****, etc. I think intercoolers are sexy btw. Anyways, I heard I have to change that engine 1st, so whats a good motor to use? I'm not trying to race, just want to have a fsat(er) automatic. I honestly just really want the turbo/intercooler setup...neways should I just change the ****** to a 5sp? you guys input would really help....
You could just add a turbo kit and that would be a cheaper way to go...Quote:

**** I didnt even drink.Quote:

ah man thnx. so best place to get it is ebay? is there any particular brand that i should use...i know NOTHING as all about turbos which is something I should research asap...so along with the tubro/intercooler..is there anything else i should get performance wise?Quote:

You can get a kit with every thing with a good turbo kit.. fittings, lines, down pipe, wast gate, BOV, intercooler, intercooling piping, injectors, fuel pump, manifold...Quote:

the interior is black
they tend to be built vary cheap and the seals usally blow quickly on them. But I know people that have run them with no problems. I myself will probley buy a kit off ebay if I cant find a good namebrand turbo for a good price. I'll run the ebay turbo untill it starts to go then ether upgrade or have it rebuilt with good parts.Quote:

I think the injectors are messed up.
BTW - DON'T BUY A TURBOCHARGER KIT OFF eBay!!! SSAUTOCHROME IS NO GOOD!!!
Deuces :look:, I'm about to head out to work :goodjob:
I am done messing with the car for the night, gonna swap the injectors tomorrow.
As for tonight, I am gonna go assassinate some people on Assassin's Creed. :D
