Default 93 civic - Tubro or Engine swap????

Ive got a 93 Civic EX and i am debating on if i should do Greddy Tubro kit and buy the BOV, intercool, turbo timer, boost gauge, and boost controller for a total price of about $1900 (this is with the prices i found). OR If i should do a B16A2 swap, but with this i pretty much dont know any prices or what i'll need. So if anyone has any IDEAS, PRICES or HP info, id really appreciate it. thanks

Describe 'stock boost'. :chuckles:

Did you mean stock compression?? or low boost??

And yes, I agree that you will be able to prolly beat an Si, but you will be limited to that. If you do an engine swap, you aren't limited at all. A turbod B16A2/3 would give a Mustang GT a really good run.
