I am planning on going turbo when I have more money. neo a good idea? any better ideas? the Apexi neo will cost me 390 for the part and 160 for install.
Oh my you have MUCH to learn, my friend...
1. Not worth it, period. Even with many other upgrades (not talking about an intake and muffler but major engine work) it isn't worth it.
2. Moving VTEC x-over will hurt power (if the engineers could make more power by moving the X-over lower, they would, DUH) Basically, if you think moving the X-over will help, you have no clue as to what VTEC is or how it works...
Please go and read about the operation of VTEC, you will quickly learn that moving the X-over is useless...
As was said above, just get an engine management system, like cROMe, Uberdata or even Hondata. Much much better... A must for turbo...
