My First Civic
I'm about to purchase my first civic it's a black 92 hatchback. and i want to do some mods to boost the horsepower. i was told that i should put a vortech superchager and i would be running 270hp off of 8psi. but i dont know if i should turbocharge or supercharge which is better?. and should i do a engine swap b18 or ls/vtec can someone help me wit my mods i want to try to stay under 10g's

super charging a sohc with 8psi will not get you 270 of the bat not even with swap. you would have to work on motor alot more to get that power from a SC. If you buy a b18b or b18c and boost it then those numbers will be easier. ls/vtec is a nice project but no dependable and not worht money if you wanna boost. i like turbo or SC but thats me. with about 6k you could swap and boost(with worked on motor). but don't forget about suspension.

Honestly, though... if you are planning on a swap... buy a 94-95 Integra RS instead. It'll cost more than the Civic... but less than a swap.

92-ish Civic in good condition: $2K+ (For like... a CX)
94-ish Integra RS, LS in good condition: $3500+
B18B swap + 4 wheel disc swap from a teg = $2K+
Seats that don't suck - priceless

but the civic would be faster. it just really depends what youre going for. i wouldnt mind a civic for a weekend ricer but i like my teg because it's nicer on the inside verus a plain civic.
