Leave your Civic alone. You are about to blow the engine with what you intend to do.
If I though like that I'd be hoping someone would tell me never work on a car!
Don't play mechanic!
No. Reducing compression does not mean increasing blowby. A thicker head gasket is a cheap way to accomplish that.
I have yet to see any recommendation to increase the gap on rings beyond the stock specifications for a turbo-charged engine.
You actually need to research which injectors to use and figure out if you will need an intercooler.
As for a e-bay kit, be careful because some kits are just parts that will fit together.
Here is a place to start your learning curve
- Would this turbo kit blow my engine? I found a turbo kit online and thought it would be fine until someone told me that it would blow my engine. I have a 1995 honda del sol VTEC stock performance wise. Would this kit blow my engine? If so what else would I need? Thanks! http://www.andysautosport.com/products/cx_racing__TRB-KIT-CIVIC-B-IC-KIT.html
- Where can I find a free file download of a 1997 Honda Civic EX manual? I'm looking for downloads of 3 manuals. I'm looking for the repair manual, owner's manual, and electrical troubleshooting manual.
- Spark plug gap for honda civic? I have an mot tomorrow and I need to change the spark plugs ready, but am unsure of the spark plug gap. It's a 1996 Honda Civic 1.4l
- Planning to get a turbo kit for my 2002 honda civic ex with 140k on it i go for it or leave it alone? Is a 1250 dollar turbo kit from ebay. My friend is a mechanic so he would help me for cheap but is it really worth it? I already upgraded the exhaust and got a cold air intake. Also what other upgrades would i have to do if i go for it?
