Why turbocharger an non-VTEC engine?? I mean you could go to www.jaydm.com and order a type-R motor or a GSR that make towards 200 hp stock then save up your $$and get a turbo kit for that. You start off with a 105 hp LS motor and add a turbo not even a big one (which even then the engine couldn't take very well) and you'll be makin like 145-150 at the wheels at THE VERY MOST with internals done too that is. Or you can do like a couple people I know and get an Si or a GSR motor put a big ass 18G turbo on it, run 10 pounds of boost and make 220 to 250 wheel horse on 93 octane gas. Besides, turbo motors don't just drop in. You need the computer, you have oil lines to run to the oil pan, all kinds of crap.


In short, my suggestion is to put an Si or GSR motor in your car and put a turbo kit on that. You'll be much better off, it'll be cheaper actually since you won't have to replace every single bit of your internals, you'll make shit loads of power, and you'll make even more if you replace the internals of that motor some day........
