Increasing the HP
Increasing the HP
The car: 02 Civic EX Sedan
Auto Transmission
What i want to do is increase the hp from the embarassing 127 that it is at now. I dont race alot as u can see the auto trans and the 4 doors but I wreked my z28 and bought a civic for dirt cheap from a freind. Going from 300+ hp to 127hp really is depressing. What I wanna do is get the car around 170 hp and dont know a damn thing about civics so can someone tell me what parts i can get for it and where i can get them and how much their gonna cost. also plz tell me how to clear those DAMN headlights. I'm dumb i need detailed instructions. One more thing, what kind of exhaust can i get for it to make it sound "Beastly". Money dont matter i gots lots.

you can start with an aem or injen intake and an exhaust. there are some companys out there making a turbo for our they as they say, you can add a turbo when and if it comes out. you can also put nitrous. a 50 shot is recommable for our cars.
edit you have an auto i dont think you can add a turbo. my bad. put get some nitrous. a 50 shot will put you around 170.

ya turbo is the best way to get alot of hp, this one company in van nuys, ca made a turbo kit for our cars. i heard it was like $4,000 shipped. they made the turbo on the fiber images car... n i heard of 3 people on this site that has turbo now... before it was thought to be impossible but more and more people are getting it.. also another is a rsx type s engine swap for $10,000. nos will also give you that instant power gain but your going to have to refill the bottle every so often...

Has anyone else realized how many people have switched from Mustangs and Camaros to Civics????? Does that say something?
Anyway, get yourself a bottle to put in your trunk....

It's a matter of can the tranny in our cars take the excess torque.
Anyways, try the swap. Talk to Htown he did his. Or, trade it in for an RSX-S. There's some rice power for ya!

Welcome.....now, my best advice is to read as much of this site as possible to learn about our car if you plan on keeping your car......just Search "more HP".....and go from there...now I'm going to lock this due to it frequency...Peace!
