Hi everyone!! Just joined n00b at DSO!
I purchased my '99 civic hatch cxi EK1 [D16Y4](AUDM) couple months ago and I LOVE IT.
After making some classic Asian cosmetic upgrades and gizmos, I'm looking at a forced induction option.
The engine is a SOHC Aus-DM 1.6 engine at 115,xxx KMs.
I love the car and the engine but would love to add the extra oomph. I not looking for a track car or a crazy power pusher but >100kw@wheels would be awesome.
I had an opportunity to drive a friends B4(Subaru liberty twin turbo) a while back and fell in love with the idea of a turbo.
After considering a B18 turbo swap I decided to stick with my D engine for reliability and lower costs.
My question is where would I start? How much should I be looking to spend (in Sydney) and all information and opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!!!
