swap it. unless you really know what you are doing and build your own turbo kit...you're going to pay out a lot of money making that motor semi quick....

Steps to making your CiVic Ex, Dx, Cx, Hx, Vx fast.

1) *Most Important Step* Blow Up Your Engine. I recommend using the Biggest n2o Shot available. (100,120,150 work well)

2) Gut the Hell out of your car only leaving steering wheel and 2 front seats

3) Buy a DohC motor with/without the VtAc.

4) Turbocharge that DoHc...with any of the plethora bolt-on turbo kits available. (Drag, Revhard, Greddy, Apexi, JG)

5) Only race from a roll.
