racing rice, u saying u'd take a GSX with a turbo kit? hmmm... seen SI with 8psi run mid 14s? i haf. gsx isn't a car to take lightly... no dissin on u but i know plenty of DSMs... and gsx are not to be messed wid from stop lite to stop lite... 1.7 60ft times are not hard to do in a gsx... freeway battling with a lightly modded gsx (i/bov/e/mbc) you'll have a chance with a turbo kit. btw, what turbo kits are good for civics?

Hes got a pretty much stock GSX that runs 14.90 so if I have a turbo on my car I could very well beat him in the 1/4 mile.. Now if he did a little work to it I wouldnt stand a chance..The AWD is the BIG upside!

Turbo kits for the Civic all depend on what you are looking for.. If you want a good setup but dont want to go over about 15 lbs of boost your best bet would be the Greddy kit. Its street legal, and the base kit w/o IC will only set me back about $1500, Ive seen people run high 14s with this kit at about 7lbs of boost in a SOHC 1.6...

But if you want to get alot more power youd obviously would want to go with a bigger Turbo like the FMAX kit, Drag Kit, Revhard kit to name a few..

The down side to having a SOHC 1.6 is they only hold about 8-9psi safely on stock internals..So you know what that means..
