Can you turbo a Honda Civic Si?

Can You Turbo a Honda Civic Si?
Yes, it is possible to turbocharge a Honda Civic Si. The 2016+ Honda Civic 1.5T equipped models, including the Si, can be upgraded with a turbocharger kit that allows for increased performance and reliability. The W1 Turbocharger, designed from scratch, utilizes a larger performance CHRA (center housing rotating assembly) to handle the increased stress of high boost and physically larger wheels. This turbocharger can work with any combination of intake, downpipe, and intercooler, and it does not require a core charge. Additionally, it is noted that the OE downpipe to turbo studs are included for easy installation, and it does not trigger a CEL (check engine light).
The 2019 Honda Civic Si comes with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine that delivers 205 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. This engine exhibits negligible turbo lag and operates with excellent efficiency, making it suitable for turbocharging modifications.
Furthermore, the previous-generation Civic Si (2017 model year) can be modified to almost 300 horsepower with the appropriate upgrades, including an ECU tuner, improved engine breathing, and other performance modifications.
In summary, turbocharging a Honda Civic Si is feasible and can significantly enhance its performance capabilities.
