I want to know a serious answer, Im actually interested in cars for the first time thinking about this, imagine everyone thinking your car is a pile of dogshit and then >you push the turbo

sounds like a fuckin meme but im serious, also costs would be appreciated too.

p.s do engines work like graphic cards? >branding just bumps up price not actual quality of engine itself

>>15531568
fuck off /v/

>>15531568
>p.s do engines work like graphic cards?

No.

>>15531568
lol, turbos don't work from a button push
and there is no point in having a very powerful engine in a front wheel drive car like the civic, look at rear wheel drive cars for mad engine swaps.

>>15531568
I'm guessing you don't have a car yet. If you're looking into mad engine swaps, don't look into civics. Are in the US or are you a euro?

>>15531375
>Is it possible to have a crazy engine under the hood of a crappy car body
Short answer: Yes.

Slightly longer answer: Yes, but how easy it is depends on the car and the engine. Some you can swap with minimal modification, other combinations may take some serious custom work.

>>15531574
Not from /v/

>>15531580
How does the actual turbo meme work? In movies they open a valve or something which connects to something else and then they go faster. How does it actually work in real life?

Op, you literally might kill yourself.

>>15531646
Yeah, but a bretty cool civic to be fair.
Shitposts aside, Civics are good for A to B, and the odd hoon. Most, anyway.

Yes but it costs nearly as much as a car that's not shit once you've swapped the engine and transmission in and upgraded the suspension, plus all the wiring and mounting that entails if it's not a bolt-on swap (as good swaps rarely are).

>>15531413
Saying "ff" or "fwd" while being disdainful is 'i know nothing about cars: the meme'

They think FWD can only understeer and is guaranteed to get wheel hop any time it accelerates through a corner

>>15531655
he probably hasn't even driven a manual
he has no idea how much this will cost

>>15531658
No you piece of shit you're fucking wrong. Civics are fantastic daily drivers and they're great for when you want to do some aggressive driving to take off stress of getting ass pounded in life. They're so fucking light you can swap out your tires/wheels and go to the track and just fucking GO.
IDIOT!
They're FUN daily drivers you dipshit moron. You're so fucking wrong

>>15531662
Pretty much. He's that guy that buys an AE86 and then promptly crashes it trying to drift.

Technical stuff aside, would "I" have to actually make the modifications and stuff myself? Like get a weilder, a hammer etc and learn how to install this stuff? Seems really hard and don't have enough time

>>15531655
Whats wrong with that?
"Sleepers" seem fucking cool

>>15531662
How much would it cost roughly?

>>15531686
Like the other anon pointed out, I was thinking about NO gas thing for a boost, but what is 'turbo' then?

>>15531686
But scramble boost

>>15531700
You don't have to make it yourself but it'd be even more expensive

>>15531568
ok serious answer since everyone else is being a fucking cunt.

they're called sleepers mate, google them. they exist, they're a tuff fucking thing, but you're gonna need a lot of money to do an engine swap.

and unlike computers, brand name really matters. ebay parts are shit, you want quality parts from trusted names.

tl:dr google sleepers and have fun

>>15531712
How much is "expensive"? Obviously Im not going to try put the engine of a ferrari in it or something but something that can replicate the initial-d type scenario

>>15531684
Listen, a civic is a fun DD that you can mess around with and have a fantastic time . Just don't put any fart cans or rice. You can drive aggressive on deserted back roads or take it to a track and do decent. Accept it and move on asshole.

>>15531700
>Whats wrong with that?
>"Sleepers" seem fucking cool

Attempting to drive/race a high-powered car when you are new to driving is a bad idea. Sleepers can be great but not in the hands of an inexperienced driver. Like I said before you are either going to total your car or kill yourself.

>>15531672

Holy fuck. You are one triggered Hondafag.

>>15531700
>>15531724
>would "I" have to actually make the modifications and stuff myself?
It depends on the swap and the car. Combinations that are popular you can buy everything you need off the shelf, and some manufacturers make things interchangeable enough that there's not as much work to do to begin with.

Go google K-swaps. Honda is your best option because everyone and their mother already does what you're looking to do, and there are tons of parts to do it. And it's not expensive either.

>>15531568
>branding just bumps up price not actual quality of engine itself

This is true, For example, the Corvette Z06 engine is unreliable and overheats all the time for no good reason. Its competitor, the GTR, has a much better engine.

OP, again I implore you to learn more about driving and cars in general before you attempt to build a car like this. If you have never driven a car before you should not be hooning around in something that puts out 600hp. It's just not a good idea.
