I love the first gen Civics - really getting the bug to drop a city turbo or EW2 12valve into one soon

The City Turbo engine would be much better than the EW.

You think? I'm talking a NA EW2 with CRX pistons, 40mm Webber carbs, extractors, Mugen cam etc putting out approx 150bhp It's what 2 of the guys in our club used to run on the track and is very drivable (albeit loud). I'd prolly turbo the combo instead though and add EFI.

The City turbo will net approx 128bhp if you add a good intercooler (and dump the crappy top mounted IC. The bonus is that you can boost it higher, but you risk detonation without decompressing a bit. Upping the turbo adds wonders, as does adding another injector and a programmable computor. Mind you, I've read of getting 170+ out of the motor and it's an easier drop in than the EW series which requires custom mounts

I meant stock vs. stock. With a turbo, the EW is probably a better choice because of its displacement. I still think the City turbo engine is cooler (but I've never seen one, so what do I know ).

I meant in person, I've seen pictures. But I did add it to the hundreds of Honda pictures on my hard drive.

I've seen a few - most of them with the intercooler replaced. Plenty of room in the SBC for the intercooler to run in front
