Hey.. yes I'm new.
I recently bought a 90 Civic Si with a ZC Engine swap and was wondering about putting a turbo kit in it.
It already has a cold-air intake.
But I was driving down the road and a 240sx smoked me, so I kinda played it off like I wasn't really tryin, but he really did beat me, ever since then I've been thinking about what I could do to get more acceleration from my ride. And I decided that a new pipe will do me good and then maybe a turbo kit?
I'm not really very mechanical-savvy so I cant put stuff in myself or put stuff together really, I dont know nearly enough about cars.
Also, could my subwoofers in my trunk really be holding me back that much? I have 2 12's with 2 amps... is that making that much of a difference?
also....
i dont want to spend a whole lot of money all together... I think I only want to put another thousand bucks into this car and then call it quits on this baby... keep it for a little while and then sell it and start another project or something... unless i can find a CHEAP paint and body shop that'll put on a nice 'CHEAP' body kit and repaint it for me...
but thats beside the point. right now I want to focus on exhaust tip and turbo kit... and the turbo kit, I dont know what to look for, or anything.. I know this is a big deal. But I need juicy details, I looked on ebay just for kicks, saw some kits for 600-800 bucks. But I realized that there is a lot of stuff there. And I dont know what to look for to know if it'll fit my engine since its Japanese or whatever other reason it wont fit... So.. How can I know?
as for the exhaust tip, I wanted a Huge pipe, I was thinking one of those real big ones you see at auto zone, its like 3" output and like 2 1/4" input i think... or I was thinking of maybe going with a glasspack and a smaller size tip in stead of a really big pipe. Any thoughts on that??
Thanks!
