Or maybe Supercharged?

Isn't the good thing about honda engines is they're good NA? Once you go boosted there's no real reason to have a honda.

The principles behind a good N/A motor also work for a good turbo motor.
The whole idea is that because they try to squeeze 200-220 HP N/A out of 1.8-2.0 liters, they rev really, really high. By revving high, it allows them to run large, higher-RPM suited (and with lots of lag) turbos without changing the power curve, because they already have the proper cam, valves, etc. for high RPM usage.
The problem with most turbo motors is that they don't rev high because they don't need to (from the factory) to make lots of power.
Engines like the 2JZ, RB26, and SR20 are legendary because they are high-RPM turbo motors. Unfortunately, they're also very heavy. A Turbo B16 weighs half of what a 2JZ does.
As a result, it became a common trend, especially in the mid-2000s, to strap turbos onto VTEC engines that wouldn't do much under 3000 RPM, but would double the HP above it. It was cheap horsepower that didn't require a mullet or a 3500lb muscle car to own.
So if you want a lightweight 400HP motor in a car that weighs less than 3000lbs, a turbo civic is about the best way to go.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

That's like saying you shouldn't turbo a V8 because it already has so much displacement.

That's the strangest looking turbo I've ever seen.
Trololo......

Hey, I DID say that the images were switching to supercharged civics!
