Save up for turbo or spend money on audio?

Eh I dont really want to swap the engine. Its a 99 ex.

But I guess Im leaning more towards audio anyway.

3k is a ton of money to drop on something like that in my eyes. I was just trying to see what all the car gurus thought.

As long as it is done right and the motor is in good shape before you put the turbo on you would be fine. But instead of boosting your d16 maybe you should consider a b16/b18 swap. More power and still very reliable. What car do you have.

I think this is his.

just get a system... if you really want to turbo your car and actually get some respectable gains and have it reliable, its gonna take A LOT more than just a $3k bolt on kit... if you're gonna do that go all out, but its gonna be very expensive and require lots and lots of knowledge and time

on the other hand u can get an awesome system for much easier and even spend less than $3k if u want

Yeah, just get some subs you ricer.

Then you can make a video saying you hit 245 db's with 20 sony Xplodes.

If your planning on gettin an audio system in the future even if you did get a turbo kit you would prolly come close to using up all the power you gained trying to lug around all the audio equipment. So yeah, just get a nice setup and im sure you will be satisfied.

you do realize you are asking this on a car audio forum, where tearing apart a car and spending $3K on a wall is normal practice? Im sure youd get the other end of the spectrum at a honda forum, if thats what you have.

Im not saying to do one or the other, just a friendly word of advice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Looks like its audio for me.

It's time to man up, and learn what american muscle is all about:naughty:

Well lets be fair, he doesnt need to get an american car to try to be fast....cuz thats just false hopes. Sure they can be fast, but it takes money.

Cuz my old stock "ricer" smokes nearly every muscle I came across.

his honda is fine. Hell I got buddys driving 800hp hondas around, its still a honda and still a ricer... but pretty sure it'll crush any streetable legal muscle.
