seppuku Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 intake and exhaust dont provide any serious hp gains. civics are shitty cars, i still dont know why kids buy them and think they're fast... anyways, if you got the money, you can put in a b18c1 engine (from a teg gsr) i think its about 170hp at the crank.

EL MASKO Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Yeah, you already made your first mistake...Purchasing a Honda. Don't get me wrong, they're reliable cars, but throw them away for racing. Go for any import that carries the "flip-light" trend of the Eighties. Shameless, drop me an e-mail. I'm in the middle of my 240-Silvia conversion. And you're back in the state of Irish people using the number 40 after their names, and in olden times Starbucks was the hot spot, correct?

fr8oholic Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 www.jacksonracing.com get yourself a supercharger or do an engine swap. personally a nice t3/t4 turbo on top of an engine swap would be butter but i don't know your monetary situation.

juggernaut Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 i've heard that a CRV bottom end with a GSR head is the hot new all-motor hybrid. not sure how true that is, though. H22 swap would be fast in anything but the heavy-ass quelude. B18 swap plus turbo or SC would be quick. otherwise, all the old-school hotrod tricks work on the new motors. higher compression with a decked head or different pistons, P/P, cams, header, exhaust, bigger injectors, etc. STRIP all weight out of the car, easiest "free" HP gains. also, set your car up correctly for what you want to do.. DETO, i thought you had 18s on your "racecar". i remember a paltry list of mods dealing mostly with cosmetics in a thread you posted in a while ago... hmmmmm.. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it battery powered? Or would the guy have to drill a hole for the power supply? And I put an "It's All Good" banner sticker across the fromt of my Lada, and now it's ready to race in the WRC!

Ferris Bueller Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 if you want real power upgrades you're gonna have to add some sort of forced induction. fuck a jackson supercharger. vortech makes a kit for the civic...they might be working on an integra...fuck a swap too...what a waste of time and money... if you want real power you should go with a turbo/supercharger. enough said. turn up the boost, run 93 octane, you can make decent torque and power. a 50 shot of nitrous with cat-back and headers and intake (bah) wont give you anything but maybe 200 horsepower @ the front wheels. it's dumb. you can also go the N/A route but that probably wont let you take the power above 250 hp....it's a ton of money too...engine blueprinting, head port/polish, bigger valves, honing, and stroking from 1.8 to 2 liter. it's all about forced induction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in my opinion a Jackson Racing Supercharger is the way to go. Engine swap would be nice to but a supercharger is simpler to do. Check out their site it has all the info you need. I like the JR supercharger because it seems to have less wear on the engine. If your going to take your car to the strip maybe look at some turbo charger but for an everyday car I would go with the supercharger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
