Is it worth it?

I own a 1994 prelude S ( F22) It's an automatic and it has 87,000 miles on it, midnight blue. It's all stock inside and outside, and in great condition. All I have are subs and ambs, with a mini disk player head unit on it. I want turbo and more power. I see a turbo kit for it is in the 3,000 dollar range. Would it be worth turboing it? Won't I only get about 200 Horsepower? With H/E/I, I'll barely get to maybe 220? 230 horse? I want a turbo car, but I'm not sure if 3 grand is worth for 200 horse. Won't I also need another front bumper for the intercooler? so with installation, front bumper, turbo kit, and paint on the bumper, I'm looking at a good 4 grand? Anyone have any suggestions? I might just sell it.

well it can be done but the f22 isnt an exactly desireable turbo motor, the h22 is the more common motor turboed. you usually dont need a new front bumper but you do gotta hack at it alittle to fit the intercooler, idk how it is for your application

it'd be fun, but honestly there are more things to spend money on. I am just taking a break from working and putting effort into school, but if i was to spend money on a turbo kit, i'd have to work again. Don't get me wrong, a turboed car would be the shit, but i'm waitin til next summer at least.

I think that if you can justify spending the money then do it!!

I/H/E Will only get you around 10 hp. which will put you at around 100hp to the wheels. I'd strongly recomend a H22 swap, its easy, quick, and inexpensive.
