You have a lot of option -- what do you want to car to do, a lot of power, daily driver with more power, etc.

There's a ton of options.

- forced induction
- lsvtec
- n/a
- motor swap, etc.

Like twinner said, depends on if you will be driving as a regular car too, or just a play car.

Personally, I'd say GReddy turbo. Easy install. Instant "50%" horsepower gain. Relatively affordable. I loved the turbo on my Civic.

Greddy is alright as long as you never, ever use the Emanage it comes with. Neptune is cheap and a lot of people around here recommend it for engine management. But a bolt-on turbo kit seems like a good idea for you.

I never had any probs with the e-manage with the kit. So, I can't complain. But, I have heard others say to use another piggyback EMS.

The Greddy kit is a good kit if you just want some extra power, but is very limited is youi want anything more than 300 whp. I would go with either Neptune, hondata, or even chrome -- avoid the emanage system. Start with the end in mind that way you don't waste money and time on parts that you won't need or that you'll have to replace and upgrade.

Turbo kit all the way. B18's take to turbos like men to vagina's, the greddy kit as stated above will get you good power but not huge power. It is very drivable. Get a front mount if you get the turbo.

Get a compression leak down test done before you do anything. You need to make sure the motor will be happy with the new found pressure.
