Okay so heres the scoop. I just bought a 2000 civic si. From what i hear it makes about 135 hp to the wheels. Im looking to get close to 200 before i throw a turbo kit on it. Can i get some help as to what parts i should buy? The only thing i have done to it now is intake and exhaust. And i just ordered a exedy stage 1 clutch and flywheel. Any help would be appreciated, thanks (:

The USDM Si Civic produces 160HP. Unless you're from Canadaland? I think their Si is our EX equivalent. As far as power goes, you might wanna think of getting headers to add to your exhaust system. You won't really see any gains with just an intake and a minor exhaust upgrade.

You want to get to 200 hp BEFORE you put on a turbo kit??

Thats almost impossible and would be totally counter productive, you want to do a N/A build in preparation for a F/I build.

Well played, sir. Well played. Either way, the advice I gave is a good place to start. That was in response to le Kenny. Lol.

Well either way I want to get the major upgrades out of the way before I put the turbo on. Any suggestions as to what I should do and what to get?

The thing is, there is a build if you're looking to make 200 whp
And theres another build if u wanna go turbo

You dont do both, if you're trying to prepare for a turbo build
You might not break 200 whp before the turbo

Yeah, that's gonna be pretty hard to do. If you plan on going the F/I method, internal upgrades, without a doubt. But like the others said, 200 to the wheels with N/A, I've never heard of it in the EM1.

Well im a noob lol. But im guessing the N/A build is for a turbo? Im not home to do the research right now. But thanks for the help guys. Keep it coming
