believe it or not, I actually just traded the civic in for an 05' Volkswagen GTI 1.8T and I love it. I've always loved turbo since the days riding in my dads saab.

Oh and I hope you're not talking about puting a supercharger on your civic because there isnt one made for our cars.

Your friend obviously didnt know what he was doing if he blew up his motor. Turbos are just as reliable as any other form of forced induction. It requires common sense and some proper tuning. You should research hondas more, seriously. K20A2 is the Acura RSX type S motor which comes stock with 200hp. EM2 chassis civics like yours and mine and a lot of other civics are able to fit these engines. Combined with a nice turbo, pistons, rods, clutch and a kpro will earn you 500+whp. Now thats a very basic set-up in terms of engine building and its strong enough to put both of our civics in the 10's. You can have your domestic V8 and your rwd burn outs if thats what you like. Small jap crap cars are a lot more fun to drive in my opinion and can easily lose a big heavy domestic V8 in the twisties.

oh and btw, if you were going to do an engine swap, the 2.0L Si motor, due to its lack of power would not be the preferred choice. Hence the engine code I previously mentioned (K20A2)

I'm just talking about what a basic turbo in YOUR civic can do right now compared to YOUR challenger in its current state. You said 13.7's so thats what I was comparing it to. Now you wanna start talking about all this other stuff you can do to your challenger...thats fine also because when I start talking about the potential of a boosted k20a2 and what IT can do with just pistons and rods, the civic will still be waiting for you at the end of the track when you come waltzing across the finish line...you better start thinking about full race options if you wanna be the one coming out on top these days because imports arent laying down for you domestics anymore...

^^^ Thats nice....if you put a turbo in your civic it will beat your challenger in the 1/4 mile...and thats on street tires as well without even rebuilding the bottom end OR running a stand-alone.

Yeah they all go together...even Boss Hogg even though hes a dirty rotten scoundrel. Thats why I put him at the bottom of my list. He's still a part of the show, but just my least favorite because he would lie, cheat, and steal to put the duke boys behind bars and that got on my nerves! lol

Welcome to the site. We're always glad to hear people say how much they love The Dukes of Hazzard, so thanks for letting us all know. We love'em too!

That black charger looks serious!

lol After thinking about it for a few minutes I figured thats what you were talking about. Sorry. lol IMO I think they're cool.

I might be able to offer an opinion if I knew exactly what you're talking about. heh

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont think it is very common for anything to ever be as good as it's original.

Amen to that!
