Default Newbie questions.. re: 97 Civic EX

97 Civic EX (I assume US version?) (2dr)

What's the engine model in it? D16Y8? Does that have "vtec"?

Is it "stupid" to turbo that engine (if it's the D16Y8) with the Eldebrock Turbo Kit, it's supposed to boost about 7psi for about 170hp to the wheels & I assume with other mods I could get around 190-200hp to the wheels. <--- scratch that!! I just looked online and well, the kit is $3500, I'm better off getting a B16 w/ bolt-ons than getting the kit..

Okay, well, i've had experience swapping engines (with the same kind of engine going back in) is it much more difficult swapping a B18C into my car?
Can you boost the B16a? I assume when you boost you get better results on a b18c, correct?

What are the speaker sizes in the Civic?

Thanks guys
