Pickup a turbo upgrade kit, or source all the pieces yourselves. Don't forget to switch to a front mount intercooler, upgrade the fuel system, get some sort of ems(maybe cobbport or AEM's ems) and find a reputable tuner to tune it. Shouldn't cost that much, maybe 8k or so. I could really be off on that figure though. =)

I was wondering how difficult the swap would be from my D16z6 to a B16A2(engine only) or (full swap). Which would you prefer, I understand the Full Swap would come with everything I need, but do you think if i just got the engine B16A2 would it be able to work with my manual transmission. I am newer to the engine field, taking an engines class this coming semester, so I am looking for information. Another question I had was, how important is the LSD on an engine? and what civic engine does it come in. Any info is appreciated, thanks -corbin

Non STis are actually a great beginner tuner car. WRXs can be made just as fast, and easily faster than STis with the difference you saved.

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy my first tuner car. I can spend about 5k on it so i need to keep it simple. Some ideas i had were to either like a 97-99 eclipse or an integra similar to those years. There really arent any other restrictions on buying it besides the 5k part and that tuning it wont get me bankrupt in one day. Thanks for your advice in advance.

EG is the chassis code for 92 - 95 civics. Your car should have the D16Z6 engine which is a VTEC engine. The engine code is engraved in the block to the left of the headers.
