Re: Quick torque and hp
best bet is to buy a new car then
cause without a turbo, a quick 30-50 hp gain without building the motor for NA is almost impossible.

You could always just get 40 horses and tie them to the front of your car.

Just kidding of course.

I would believe that it's going to cost you less just to do a turbo and get more out of it.

nitrous is the only way to do it without cams/engine work or a turbo.

Re: Quick torque and hp
nitrous doesn't last and it gets expensive to fill and a turbo can have turbo lag and has to be watched carefully cause if it goes then you cant

Re: Quick torque and hp
No offense, but this thread is going to be a flame fest. If you are asking these questions you havent done your homework. There are plenty of threads around this site to refer to. HP is never cheap or easy, nitrous is your best bet but if you are asking us these questions you probably shouldn't be playing with it.

Re: Quick torque and hp
If you don't want to do a turbo, your options are an engine-swap, or trading your car in.

Re: Quick torque and hp
cheapest way of getting another 40-60hp is to trade in your civic and just buy a used rsx.

Re: Quick torque and hp
u could try to rebuild a d17.... with high compression pistons, lighter rods, lighter flywheel...cams...plus tuning...

that might give you 30 hp...

expensive tho

Re: Quick torque and hp
I don't understand why you would op for pistons over cam when a cam is so much easier to put in.

You want easy power without the hassle get a crower stage 1 cam there is no tuning or engine mangement needed.

Re: Quick torque and hp
Not possible to do a cheap turbo kit, and its not possible to bolt on an easy 40+ HP. Boost or buy another car are your ONLY options!
