    Lightbulb Turbo Install?

    I have a 1988 Honda Accord LX-i coupe with the following specs:
    factory-stock A20A 2.0L inline four, 120 hp
    factory-stock 5-speed manual trasmission, with stock clutch

    It's a solid car, and i want to know if it was possible to install a turbocharger kit on it. Any response referring on how i could go about this, what mods i would have to do so i don't mutiliate the car, would be greatly appreciated.

    its gonna have to be mostly custom... there isn't any easy way, although the blocks are ideal for turboing b/c they are cast steel.
    you should talk to Sean, Elijah, Robt550, and whoever else I've forgotten who already have some turbo experience with these engines.
    Just so's you know, and b4 you get flames for not using it, the search function will basically answer most of your questions. You only need to start new threads if you have new questions that no-one has asked yet, or if you are trying to troubleshoot your car, or if you have something to show off or rant about. One suggestion I highly recommend is to post pics, for which a cardomain webpage is very useful.
    I can't stress the search function enough, so I'll stop here.
