I/H/E + vafc II worth it??
I'm not going to have the time or money to invest in a turbo or
engine swap as much as I'd love to. I know its all hypathetical but if I had a
01 ex with a AEM CAI/Kamikaze header/apexi ws exhaust and a vafc II would I see
worth while results or is it going to be pretty minimal??
Thanks

Minimal . . If you want serious power you're gonna have to go turbo, swap, or nitrous . It's just not gonna happen with bolt ons. Our cars don't respond very well to bolt ons. You're gonna spend a lot of money on H/I/E and Vafc II and then think to yourself where is the power? You'll notice some difference, but not much. The real benefit to this is that it's going to look sweet and sound sweet.. If you're looking for power your gonna have to fork over some dough. .
will you make out with me

Rep Power: 0 NO!! don't do it. save your cash for a new car if fast is what you want!Or just put it towards a drag car and have your civic be your daily driver. Then you would be cool!
For instance:
86 RX7 with bad engine- $500
350 engine swap kit - 500
Used 350 and tranny- 500
Having a 1500 dollar car that will do 13's all day - Priceless

the VAFC alone is a great mod, I rod in a friends car who had one on his 7thgen, (only got it up to 4th gear cuz it wasnt the spec II) MAJOR kick when he dropped VTEC down....

Rep Power: 0 its not so much that I want to go fast just want to make my car a little quicker and a little more fun to drive... I may end up with a turbo in the not so distant future.. I just don't want to deal with the potential headache of a turbo..
