Default how do i go about bulding a motor to handle....

ok , i have a 94 civic lx sohc non vtec , with my current situation the only money i have would b barely enough to afford a sohc vtec motor , so i was curious , what would i need to do to my motor internally AND externally (ign and fuel system etc) , to handle a decent shot of nitrous or a turbo ? please help me out here , just dont say , dont waste your money on that motor

o and are there any online stores that sell internal motor stuff for this motor?

if you're going to bolt-on a kit. Stock boost settings on the kit should be fine on a stock motor. Run like 6 psi and you *shouldn't* have any problems...how many miles on the motor?

You can't really "build" for nitrous I don't think. I mean, Nitrous is wear and tear on your car no matter what :dunno:

forged pistons and conrods would handle nitrous really well...nitrous equals a form of boost, so you handle nitrous the same way as turbos and superchargers, tuning, fuel, stronger internals, etc...

forget boost or nitrous, swap.
you'll be happier with a nice B-series.
