To be quite honest, I'm really broke. I was thinking about this as a long term project. But your suggestion of going straight to the turbo sounds good. Most likely, I would be taking out loans for this and such. It's just that I see that the 97 CR-V's only put out 126 hp. I'm being a little power greedy coming from the 189hp 6 bangin Bimmer when I say that's really not alot. But what and who should I contact for building up the engine for a turbo and what companies does everyone recommend? I also saw that Jackson Racing has a supercharger for the CR-V. Does anyone know what kind of power that puts out? Thanks again for all the info, it's really helping me out here.
