Welcome. Just like he said^ ur gonna post alot here cuz the group is tight and there is alot of knowledge on this site weather it's from car audio to turbo and engine swaps.
A little info that ur gonna need to know: our motor is refered to as a D17 so when ppl say that their D17 is only good 4 mpg and will never be fast w/o a turbo they r talking about their engine.
U will only gain about 2-3hp if anything from ur typical bolt-ons (intake,header,exhaust(ie. the big 3)) Our engine is comes tuned such that it doesnt respond to performace upgrades worth a ****. If u want power ur going to want to get a turbo and or an engine swap (typically a K20A2 which is the RSX-S engine with 200hp which would cost at least 5-6k for the engine and the install all said and done. Please done waste ur $ on ur car unless u r either getting the turbo/K20a2. (Oh we can also swap the K20 which is the current Civic Si engine 160hp and the.We can also do the K24 as well...)
And the last word of advise is use that search button everytime b4 u post. This site has been up long enough that what u wanna talk about could have very easily been covered alread. the search button is on the very top of the page...
Have fun looking and learing on this site and the best of luck to u and ur car

Rep Power: 0 Yea I am very familiar with forums Im really into snowmobile ones its been a couple years now but starting to get out of that now since I got a car. Im just planning on getting a exuast for her now to give her a good sound then pretty much all visual stuff rims, lights, sticker kit, etc.. I would say few years down the road Ill either get a Turbo or get a bigger engine. My brother works at a place they get wrecked cars so I can get a better deal on a engine probly plus Im guessing you can get alot more hp with a bigger engine. Thanks for the comments.
