if you turbo your civic would have enough space to convert to a teggy radiator with the fans on the front? or is there no space whatsoever?

it all depends on the manifold and turbo that you use. I've seen it done before :thumb:

You gotta do some planning first... What are your plans for the car? what kind of racing? is this your daily driver? Do you want top end power or mid range power more? what engine do you have? You could dump $1500 or $15k into your turbo setup if you really wanted to.

this all future planning im only 17 and drive a 1.3 so slow down lol

im planning on a b18c turbo i think i will have more to the 15k of the market :woot:

but ill probably wait 2 or 3 years or get the engine in 2 years work on it and put it in after 3 :D

and i think for serious power ill go for the gt35r garret turbo top mounted with a 44mm tial wastegate y0! :o

I see you did your research :thumb:

It's always best to have the time and $$ to build right the first time.

yeah i agree :thumb: its a very big deal tho if that is your only car and its your daily you have to do everything right the first time so make sure u do plenty of research and make sure you do have the proper funds for it
