airjordan223 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 you can turbo any motor really, just each motor reacts differently to boost. there is a pinned thread in the engine/tuning section all about turbos, you should check that out. and if you want a rwd car, buy one. it will cost way to much money and it will be all custom work to convert to RWD. if you want a rwd honda, get an s2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubbith Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 dont turbo an automatic civic. Seconded. Also, i wouldnt waste my time doing the AT to MT swap. Its costly and more of a PITA than anything. Better off selling the AT and buying a MT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i heart my ek9 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 yea i agree i did the whole swapping the tranny before and after a while it got hella pricey your better off starting off with a 5 spd to begin with......and turbo the sh1t out of it!!
