I have right at $1900 available. My only hang up on the turbo is that then I need an intercooler...another $600-$700 bucks(now we are at $2100-$2200). I also do not like the idea of running a turbo on factory bottom end. I prefer forged pistons and rods on turbo or supercharger. I do not have the $1500(now we are at $3700) to rebuild the bottom end and add the turbo.
I also saw that the Greddy turbo, the one advertised on the vack of Import racer I believe, is good to 190 horse on a 92-95 civic. Well that is fine, but I want to be running about 175 all motor before I add the squeeze in the mix. That will put me at about 250-255 on the bottle. And that I would think would get me to the upper13s seek.
Do you know what people are running in the 1/4 with turbo and exaust set-up? I would be curious and interested if the times are right...but the expense is a deterrent at the moment. Please respond. I want to start adding my goodies this week but will wait if other options for speed are viable.
