im talking all motor
a EG civic hatch (92-95) with an h22a motor swap is going to be damn close to high 13's out of the box with no real mods other than dropping in the motor. thats pretty damn good for a 2000 dollar swap whereas an entry level turbo kit is usually a little more expensive and of course more dangerous. the h22 will take 200k miles of abuse if properly cared for.

Sorry to pick your brain, but explain to me what a Hyrbid setup is.........I have heard the term but am not exactly sure what it is??
Second, I am assuming by referencing the entry level turbo you are suggesting that like most stock cars with a turbo or supercharger, that you are at risk of blowing it up if you abuse it? I would never suggest to anyone to use a turbo or supercharger unless the motor has been redone with stronger rods, pistons and valvetrain.
