Also, what kind of nitrous shot would you run with a turbo charger?

I wouldnt run any more then a 20 shot or so.. All your going to do is use it to spool up your turbos a little faster..

When you say a 50 shot or 100 shot, what exactly does the number stand for? Is that how much horsepower your adding?

What is a suspension brushing kit and why would you want one?

A suspension bushing kit generally uses polyeurethane bushings that replace the factory rubber bushings. They will stiffen up the ride and tighten handling somewhat. The kits aren't that expensive either, considering they provide a "good service." It's just that the installation is long and tedious.

I'm not exactly sure of the units nitrous systems use, but no, that does not correlate with the horsepower gains you should expect to see. However, I do know that it pertains to the volume of nitrous oxide you are introducing to the engine per shot.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, GM!!

Thanks for the help. Would you prefer a civic or a prelude if you had the pick? If neither, what would you prefer in that price range?

[fortyoz2eric]

stock, you'd have to be an idiot not to take the prelude. but preludes are much more limiting cuz of their size so a civic would be a much better drag car. btw civics and preludes aren't really in the same price range

If your going turbo.. I say go B18B.. It fairly cheap since its non VTEC and nobody want them really.. Everyone wants the B18C. you can pick the whole change over up for about 2000-2500..

where can you get b18c for 2000-2500

Since you'll probably be modding and wanting a fast car, go for the Civic. It's up to you if you'd prefer a little more weight in exchange for a little more luxury and price with an Integra.. which would be my choice, by the way, unless I was going all-out for a drag racing champion car. Then I'd get a CRX.

There is one other option: get an S2000, and swap out the power and drive trains for one from a Nissan Skyline (either an RB20, RB25, or RB26). This, built properly, will smoke any FWD Civic

hey guys i have a few questions if you dont mind..i am planning on getting a 94 civic ex (coupe) and right away since i want to turbo it eventually i figure the b18b would be a good choice but i have a few questions

1) where can i get one cheap

2) why is it better than the b18c1?

3) why are jdm motors cheaper than usdm?

4) i only want a mild set up (7psi-10psi) will i need to upgrade stuff like the radiator and head gasket and get an oil cooler?

5) i always hear the term "daily driver" does that mean putting on like 22-25k a year on your car cause i like to drive a lot and dont want to have my car spend a lot of time in the shop but i want a turbo!

6) what other type of prevenitive measures should i take to keep my engine in shape within reason i cant afford to get new pistons and stuff
(but like oil changes every 2000 miles, or tune ups every week stuff like that)

thanks in advane sorry so long
