I'm thinking about turbo'ing my civic but i was wondering what would be the basic upgrades i HAVE to do to my engine in order for my car not to blow up in a couple of days. BTW i have a b18 GSR engine in my civ rite now.

get a compression and leak test first to make sure ur motor is in good condition to handle boost. besides that, nothing else really. most turbo kits now are bolt ons.

hhmmmm, now that i think about it, u might have to ask the company first for the go ahead since u got a b18c1 swap into a civic. there shouldn't be any problems, but just in case.

you might need to upgrade the ignition

all you need is a msd coil. i say the best investment would be a hondata with a good tune, or uberdata
