I have 2 workbenches in my garage. One wood about 10' long and 5' deep and the other is 3/8 steel for welding on. And another workbench in the basement same as the wooden one in the garage

But but I want to turbo it :(

Thinking of swapping the bottom end with a 3SGTE. Don't feel like swapping harnesses or making mounts.

Think I can find a 3SGTE somewhere for under $200? (Local junkyards).

It stinks, I'm already losing bolts lol.

Nah, I'ma somehow get that crankshaft bolt off during spring break (at other house now :()...

Then while over there they have a pretty big junkyard, I'ma look for a 3SGE or 3SGTE and swap the internals over (have the rods replaced with Eagle H-Beams, have the crankshaft polished and make sure it's within specs), new bearings (so I won't have many problems)... and throw a small turbo on.

I would go N/A (less problems to deal with)... should I?

Personally like I told you on msn just cool down with the turbo and other huge mod's. You havent even drivven before in the real world and you will find a stock motor is plenty zippy. Plus when it come's time for you to pay for fuel and oil for it and not mommy and daddy you wont want a gas hog. Then when a stock honda pass's by you with almost a stock engine that gets like 1000 KM to the gallon you'l be pretty pissed. There's also lots to fail on a DIY turbo setup. Like one oil line breaks (I see it happen every cruise night at the race track) And you screwed/broken down.

All right, it's decided :( No Turbo (only took me a couple seconds to decide :D)

However, I would like it to be zippy.

Lol, that was GOING to be my post. Unfortunately, I'm that ignorant 13 year old b*stard that just wants to go turbo :p

Soo... anyone name a couple problems I'll most likely encounter?
