Mmmm High CR DOHC VTEC motors stock + forced induction = 80% of guys saying “I should have built my motor.”
An H22A is an amazing motor as it comes from the factory. A more viable and naturally aspirated way to go about it would to be port and polish the head, buy some ARP insurance (head and main studs and rod bolts) and do stage 2 cams with new valve springs and retainers. That with a decent tune should give you a RELIABLE 205-215 whp. Granted a turbo set up can give you 600 plus, but keep in mind, with FWD, usable power is much more to your benefit then tire spinning numbers that most these turbo cars fetch.

I may have the opportunity to purchase a 1994 Honda Civic. It currently has a k20a in it and it has about 200hp. I was wondering where I would be standing hp range if I put a Garrett GT30R turbo in it. Or if there was a better turbo system to put into it. I am shooting for 350hp+ for the Civic.

I got a 96 honda civic with it’s piece of **** stock engine thats all messed up. I have alot of money to spend, and i would buy another car but I really like the body kit I got on it and i got a very nice stereo system in it. Im going to race with it so I need an engine that can handle a turbo and i need lots of hp. any suggestions ?

Hi i am looking to engine swap my 2000 honda civic (coupe) and don’t know what other engines fit its body. Like what engines from other stock cars and/or and turbo or improved engines made for the civic are there?
thanks.
