So, I am buying a 97 civic ex for $400 as a project. Runs perfectly but the alarm is stuck on and they dont know how to turn it off. I do. Yes, red flags go up with this, but they have title in hand and an id to match the title so I am assured its not stolen.
Anyway, I am going to be working on it but do not want to try to put a turbo on myself (very easy to screw up). What should I do before selecting a turbo kit (as in compression test the motor etc) or should I drop in a new motor? The stock ex motor can handle about 4-7 pounds of boost right?
Im not looking to break any speed records, I just want a nice quick project car for my first import project.
What else should I do or look for before pulling the trigger on a turbo install?
