If you want 200hp with bolt ons... bolt on a small block 350 and make rear wheel drive...I ran a 100 hp shot of nitrous for all day long man...no internal problems at all. Cut your drive belts and strip your car then you might keep up with my small blocked 01 ex. Any questions.. PM me. Simple solution for imports... want more power, bolt a small block in it and strap a blower on it, let the blower stick through the hood.

I only made 111whp and 105ft-lbs with I/H/E and crank pulley on a 90 degree day. Dx model though. Sorry man 200whp with boltons just isn't gonna happen.

i hope u dont have a auto. easiest way to get alot of horsepower to any engine is 3 things: turbo/supercharger, nitrous, or up the compression. u raise the compression and adding alot of fuel and air also dont forget the spark.

Dont know from experience. But how about a return fuel line setup, ex head swap,emanage,lightweight wheel tire combo, stage I or II clutch,lightened flywheel, gude cams,titanium valve springs, port the intake runners,a wing and a prayer. Same price as a turbo...not nearly as fun. IMO

drjvic04, could you do this and later turbo?

Would it be better to beef up internals and go straight to turbo?

a wing. haha

just turbo with 8psi and u will be happy. i am sure

on 1.7 you can not make more than 170 hp withought boarging it out. it is physically impossible (unless there is forced induction)

ex_03

A little off but what do you think getting or head (d17a2) ported and polished would do? or getting the compression ratio a little higher? I ask becuase I dont know much either. thanks bro.

i got a 2 fast 2 furious sticker on my bumper it made my 01 lx way faster

porting and polishing depends. each engine is different. it also depends upon what other mods you're running with it. with a properly built engine, a port and polish job could get you another 20hp or more. raising the compression ratio is a tough one. if you make a big jump to say 11.5:1 you'd need to run premium fuel, and should probably get tuned, as well as an aftermarket ecu for air/fuel management. plus something that will let you advance your timing.

neocivic01

just get an engine swap done

ex_03

Thanks 2000man, thats what I was wanting to know! I asked you becuase I know you have done like all of that to your car.

ex_03

Anybody can do that, I think the main reason the guy asked in the first place was to stand out, its impressive when someone can get sick horsepower out of a motor that most people laugh at! Thats why Im interested in what is said on this as well. Its takes innovation and know how as well to do this, If someone has money they can just buy a faster car to begin with.

with ALOT of mods, you will be able to get a manual up to 140whp with tuning. With all the money you spend, you could buy a stock si.

buy a stock Si, eh? ... you mean like $19,000?

this thread made me look at the aem dyno hahahaha.

$100 per horsepower. what a great way to market something.

senseiturtle

Ok, something is TERRIBLY wrong with that civic's dyno... That torque line is about as smooth as the Himalayas.

Looks like they slapped the intake on without resetting the ECU, or not letting the car adjust to the new airflow.

rofl I noticed that too. As for more hp, you guys need to watch fast and the furious again when they list all the stuff done to the fast eclipse. turbo, 7 speed tranny, cool air intake, direct port nos, stand alone engine managment system.

we have the kind of cars that can LOOK really really fast, but they go really really slow! ha ha I'm not kidding! If you like to spend money on things that don't really add much to your hp, then by all means mod it out. I was once like you not that long ago, looking for any bolt on to help my poor AT EX...but really, there isn't much other than a turbo, nitrous or helping push from God that will make our cars tickle 200. Just make it look nice first, then save up for an engine swap and/or a turbo...you can always play with the sound system too if speed and engine tuning isn't your thing although the plastic panels rattle like a *****!

hotrodcivic2004

u wont get 150 bhp out of bolt ons......barely 140.

wtf? ok i said not only bolt ons!!!!!!!! non-internal engine mods. read guys. no i'm not gonna leave cause they are being stupid towards me. i just really wanted to know. i have alist. here then tell me what you think. underdrive pulley. new flywheel, stage 2 cluthch. oh yeah its a stick! cia , cat back exhaust , iridium plugs, better spark pulg wires, bigger tbi, better exhaust manifold, diffent head gasket to get the compression higher. if i wanter to talk about internal stuff i would change EVERYTHING. cams lifters, high comp pistions piston rods new oil pan , pump, injectors injector rails i mean everything. springs valves everything. but i want suggestions for external only. yeah bold on super/turbocharger works as long as no internal engine stuff is changed. i'm listening guys thanx.

I do believe that if you re-read your initial post, you would find that it sounds like you have no clue about tuning. Especially when you refer to the people you talk to about Civics as "random guys" (are these bums, mechanics, friends or what?) and then end the post with "so like a header would be ok." We are not trying to attack you, but when you post stuff like that your just asking for some sarcastic replies. Your last post was what you should have said in the first place, obviously you know what your talking about -or- your just regurgitating what you heard from more "random guys". Nobody wants you to leave; we just want you to articulate your question so that we know exactly what you are asking. Just some friendly advice for any future posts you want to put on here. If you have the money, then go ahead and post how your progress is going. Hope to hear from you in the future.

hey when i said random guys i really meant two random guys that i had never met in my life or have ever talked to. i didn't mean to sound pissed. just responding to whats said. and ok so the way i put up my question the words so like is not helping. good point. i'm not regurgitating i'm really wanting to make this happen. i'm in the research stage right now. i can handle sarcasm with the help. notice how i cannot spell the word appreciatte. lol

1. underdrive pulley is dangerous
2. our cars don't have plug wires
