yea thats who i was thinking about it was green...but ive been MIA for a little bit, finished up the 97' civic coupe EX turbo.
ive got new pistons, rings, multilayer metal head gasket, AEM cam, and ARP head studs, and Eagle rods. all this into the block cost me $340 shipped from a guy on turbod16.com, stock head, im running a t25 turbo off a stock sr20, custom welded manifold, ebay fmic. running 11psi of boost it dyno'd in at 239fwhp 187tq. and ive taken out my buddies sti and an evo already along with a few mustangs. everything, block work, tune, turbo, cost me $1200. not bad for a cheaper kit with used parts. hoepfully ill get some vids up. haha it came together rather quickly. took about 3 weeks, and i only had to sell my rear disk brake conversion, rota gt3's, and my ok spring/strut set up, so im running steelies on stock suspension and drum brakes. hellllla sleeper. stock body black civic! haha

How the hell did this turn into another turbo civic thread on a lexus forum ?
j/k man nice job. Im an ex honda fiend myself. I sold my 92 civic lx sedan, custom paint, shaved, wilwood BBK F&R, B16a with crower rods, je pistons, arp main and head studs. Stock head with jun cam gears and bspec cams. Thru a integra ls tranny for the long ratio but with a kaaz lsd.
T4-60bb with 2 38mm tials. 412hp on 18psi. ****** (when did this board start sensoring ?) now I got caught up in the honda madness. But its all good cause I sold that 6yrs ago to buy my 1st gen gs. Im just waiting for my 2J block and head to come back from the machine shop and its awn. Look for a thread coming soon.

Sorry for the ramble. Back ot now
