a huge wing and some bad *** stickers should do the trick.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I think it's 8psi...over 200fwhp. Nitrous is a relatively simple way to add some quick HP.

My Friend has a 98'civic ex, with a jackson raicng supercharger and he is around 210 hp. I should be able to do more with a turbo and not a supercharger Right?

Sure, provided you have internals and a supercharger or turbo. However, NOTHING IS AVAILABLE YET! So unless you have a shiitload of money and know someone who is a miracle mechanic, you're not going any faster until that stuff shows up. Your only option right now is a custom turbo setup, and you can run 5 PSI, which is good for about 40 HP. Until there are internals, you won't be getting anywhere in a hurry. If you wanted a fast car, you probably should have thought about that before you bought a Civic

a complete custom turbo job would probably run you about the same as a K20A2 swap. and that should put you right at the 200hp slot.

for the custom turbo, talk to moocow, he may know something that will help you.
