And secondly, the reason hondas are so cheap to mod out is because the market is flooding with kits for them. Im sure the FD guys can all use the cheap *** XSpower turbo kit and easily have superior gains to what a honda would get from a turbo, (peripheral ports).

He'd have to be boosting AT LEAST 10 psi to come close to you. And with that much boost it'll blow withing 5-10k miles easy. Unfortunetly it only costs 200-300 bucks for a new d-series engine...

honda engine engineering is probably the best engineering out there right now the have built the best stock piston engin for the last 10 yrs easy no other piston engine is able to stand up the the abuse the the dumb *** kids have been able to do to them. not much of a honda guy unless its for daily driving but all around they are outstanding for what they are intended for good gas milage and reliablity i wish honda would have done the rotary then maybe we would be able to get more out of our engines like the honda's are. just my 2 cents.
