I must be lucky because i have a nascar tech as a friend and he said that with the right parts i could belt out around 200-215hp at the wheels. and for a 2k1 ferio thats fast as f@&$. so you all just wait til i get some money and then me and my crew will dominate

hahaha

oh yeah? well, with the right parts, anything can have 200+ horsepower easy! i watched a vw bug run a 10.xx 1/4 mile in clay city, ky dragway!

i told myself, " self, hmmm with the right parts, my car can make about 300 hp @ the wheels! then i'll dominate!!!! bwahaha!!!"

i hope u do hit the 215 hp mark though!

of course, with the right parts any thing can acheive anything but i left out that it wont cost a shi+ load of $$$ he said around 2-3k total now i dont know if thats good but being that most turbo systems cost that anyway i figure what the hell right. ill keep you all posted.

i'm trying to get the $$$$$$ together right now. $3000 for a turbo. i don't think that is too bad. 50-60 whp. i'm around 170whp now. i'm also thinking about a bottle. it will be cheaper, and i can get the same results. only time will tell!

Now is that 215whp or 215 at the flywheel? Well in any case it 'll take a lot more than $2-3K to make that kind of power with a Civic without FI.
My friend spend over $6K on head work (ported/polished, cams, valve springs, etc.) plus VAFC, pulleys, throttle body, ignition, etc, plus a kick *** header/exhaust, free flow cat.. on his Type-R motor and puts down 194hp at the wheels (about 230hp). He even did a lot of the work himself except for when he sent the head out to get it P/P'd. For an '01+ Civic to even put down 194whp you 'll have to do a lot more than just valvetrain mods. You 'll have to do some major work on the bottom-end and now you 're talking quite a "few more" bucks, well let's just say a LOT more than just $2-3K.. like 5 times that. We 're talking about an ITR motor that starts at 164whp, not an EX motor that probably has around 105-109whp.. I don't know how good a friend this "Nascar" guy is to you, but he 's full of it.. Someone like him should know it takes a lot more money to get an extra 100hp out of a lowly Civic, especially without FI! You might as well drop in an RSX-S or RSX-R (if you can import one) motor. It 'll be cheaper.
