turbo or all motor
I'm trying to decide if I should to do a turbo Y8 or an all motor B16 or B18c in my 88 Civic. I can get either set up for about the same price, but I don't know which one would be better. I don't want a 400 hp beast, I just want something that will get up and go. What do you guys think?

Definitely turbo. All motor small displacement cars are generally a hassle and usually cost considerably more. I once saw a guy with (his estimate) between $20K-$30K in his all motor car and was braging that it made something like 240hp. For the money you'd spend on a good turbo kit vs. all motor, you'd still have money left over to toy with the motor after the turbo install and have a ton more power.
