Turbo is too easy to get hp
Quote from Endyn:"The combustion chamber is a better shape than the DOHC.So don't chunk those 1.6 SOHC engines, they can make really good power. For a pure performance application, regardless of application, I'd choose the SOHC. No bull!"

Re: Turbo Projects
indeed. Still there is a certain point up to which turbo set up could be as fun and easy to drive fast through corners as n/a set ups.hondaNickx wrote:Turbo is too easy to get hp

Re: Turbo Projects
Indeed guys , the magical barrier of 200Bhp in a civic is actually a very fast car.If set up right with proper gearing and suspension you'll have very good trackcar.

Re: Turbo Projects
I can tell you from experience... boosted D14 is fun!
Boosted semi-build B16 is more fun
350bhp is also very dangerous....

Re: Turbo Projects
