i have a 2000 honda civic si ( had it about 4years, still drives like new), anyways, i just test drove a 2001 integra type-r about a week ago, and i have to say it was better than sex. I know the redline says 8400 rpm, but that car goes all the way to 8900rpm, as compared to mine that probably stops at 8200rpm. Unlike my Si, which screams vtech but doesnt move (torqueless), the type r carries the driver all the way past the redline, it is like there is torque at every rpm. All these time, i thought my car was quick. What makes this type-r faster than my car apart from handling. My Si is all stock except for the tein complete suspension which makes my si handle better than the type-r. Do i have to buy a whole new engine for the car, bcos i do not have 4000 dollars to spend on another engine, when the one i have can very well go another 100,000 miles or more. Can i get some advice.
NOTE: i dont like turbos.

is it a good engine? i want to turbo charge, and everything possible to it. if its not the best, what is the best that will fit into the HONDA CIVIC SI thats dohc and v-tech that i can add preformance parts to make it have the most acceleration and torque.

How much hp will I get if I put a single turbocharger on a 2000 honda prelude (stock 190hp)? Just pick a turbo size.

Its just a stock vehicle. I know nothing of my car, except that its already fast and hits 170mph very easy. It has a slap stick and its also DOHC… Its automatic and digitally a stick shift also… I can red line 2nd gear and hit 90mph, before I shift to 3rd gear. Send me a list of modifications… I understand that I can’t use a twin turbo kit but a single turbo for this vehicle… I just want advice on fixing and customizing my ride so that I too can have a nice ride. I don’t worry about the money issues… Money is not a problem… I just want a tight, smooth, but fast *** ride… HELP!!! What parts should I look into and why?
