Hey guys, I've got a 97 civic dx hatch. Its got a JDM ZC sohc non vtec in it. I want to boost the motor, right after I do the obd2 to obd1 conversion.

I plan on keeping the motor stock and keep my power conservative tuned. MAybe like 170-180hp. I hear anything around 200 and up gets risky with stock rods/pistions..etc

I have been doing alot of research, but still dont understand the turbo size I should go with. The car will be a daily driver, so stock reliability is a must.

What is a good streetable turbo for DD? Its not going to be like a 2000$ build. as you should know, since this is HMT!

so any good advice would be much appreciated. Ill get some pics of the motor in the car, Its coming to me in the mail right now

and should I go with the HF manifold and adapter plate?

 

anybody

 

tdo4h or tdo5.....

 

and does that pair up with the HF manifold? because ive been told to use a saab/volvo turbo but i forgot what trim size

 

tdo5 and tdo4 pairs up the HF/HX/STD mani... and is your best bet

 

how much boost you trying to run?
