Is This Possible?

Hey all.. i got a weird query and was wondering if its possible. Currently i got a D16SOHC auto.. i really wanna learn stick and want more power.. So is it possible to change it to stick? and stick turbo on it? how much trouble might this be? and how much might this cost?

KSR, if you could reply to this that'd be great

Since i want more power and i was thinking of getting a turbo is it just worth it to swap the entire engine? since i gotta swap to stick anyway? im thinking in terms of cost.. but if you could let me know the complications that'd be good too.

Your car is a 92, so it would be good to swap to a bigger engine and stick too....like B18B. $3000+ is a reasonable rate installed.

It really depends on your budget and goals.. As BBARBULO mentioned.. a B18B would be something to consider, but mind you.. converting over to manual would cost a bit more... If you're serious about the swap.. drop me a PM and we'll go from there.

Sorry KS-R, didn't mean to lowball your prices, but I was just giving him a ballpark figure so that he knows if he has a $1000 budget, that it's better invested elsewhere (besides performance). Performance costs, that's all. Definitely upgrade your engine with a nice fresh one first, then go from there. I've driven a B18B powered 1992 CX, and it was SOOOOOO much fun!!
