Hi,
My brother recently acquired (mechanic's lean) a 94-95 Honda Civic EX 1.6 V-Tech Automatic transmission with 120,000 miles. I'm thinking about using this car as an everyday car. I don't have any experience with turbo's, so is it worth putting a turbo in this car?
Car is clean with complete overhauled engine, about $1,400 just in parts. When I drive it on the express way it's slow to pick up (compared to my Toyota Celica 2.2L). I drive around 70mph on the expressway and up a lot of hills.
Would a turbo help with overall pick up? Not looking for a race car just better pick up when I have people in the car. Since money is tight I need something better on gas. Would a turbo help?
