Ive seen versions of SR20's in a civic. But why not build a turbo civic motor? Lots of guys on here that know all kinds about turbos.

even if there was ... one that were feasible... you'd still need to solve piping and unless it's a direct swap that's even more work. not to mention stock turbos generally suck anyway so what, then you'd end up in the junkyard looking for a replacement turbo when you coulda been there instead looking for a quality turbo for the engine you already have installed.

If you peice it together there are a few pros to it: it can be cheap if your going for a junkyard turbo build lol, but it also give you a variety of custom parts instead of buying a prefabbed kit. A prefabbed kit is usually a complete turbo bolt on for your car minus the tuning or minus fuel upgrades(inj,fuel pump) I think rev hard makes a FULL kit? correct me if im wrong. If i were you id head on to honda-tech.com very useful site minus the naggers and blind mechanics lol.

I've never seen one in person, but I've seen it a few years ago in super street or something, I think it was a FWD version, looked like crap, and i don't see the point in replacing one of the best things about a honda, with that from another company.

It would be a miracle if it was FWD lol.
For the OP do some research.... HONDA-TECH.COM!

dude wtf. if you wanna be taken seriously go do some of your own research before asking vague questions. i get the feeling that this thread is just pointless entertainment since you have no idea what's what but you do know what the most expensive **** is and will probably lose all intent (if there was ever any to begin with) of even doing this when you realize that the block alone is out of your budget
