7th generation Civic's full potential.
What would the absolute full HP/TQ potential of a 7th generation Civic be if modded to the max using natural aspiration? (And without doing insane things such as removing the back seats so it's lighter).

Rep Power: 0 This is really hard to answer, if you have $, you can do anything.
For Example
Cams, Pistons, Valves, Boring Out Block, Throttle Body, ETC.
For that amount of money, it would be worth getting a swap.

Rep Power: 0 what are u talkin about??
1.6L made tons of HP......
dont forget the SIR "G"
160HP b16a2 has alot of potential!
especially for road racing......
dont doubt the 1.7L
if HONDA was smart. they would of made it, and i bet with the hatchback they made with the new SIR, are not producing as much sales as the original coupe...
i talked to the guy at brantford HONDA anf HONDA will come back with a stronger equipped coupe!! b/c u, I and all of HONDA knows the coupe sir was the best seller!
dont doubt the 1.7L
just like someone posted..... if u have money do it up!!!
and redvic claimed 219WHP in a 1.7L non vtec motor turboed!
is that good??? and for a light *** car!!! espect to blow doors off mustangs!

Rep Power: 0 im assuming he's talking about a D16 and not the B as his sig talks about buying a '03 Si.
furthermore, he's question talks about wanting to be N/A ... and my comment was simply that not a lot of HP is to be gained with the usual mods ... unless something spectacular is done to the engine, the HP ain't moving up much

yow yow
dont listen to these guys hahaha jk jk
if u gonna get a 7thgen to chill and drive around. then its pretty good for the amount they are asking and it looks pretty decent too.
u can always swap the engine if u want? ... turboing ... hehe.. <--lots of stress on the engine.. N/A all the way !!!!
i doubt honda will ever change the hatch into a coupe in the form of the new siR
maybe in da 8th gen...

Rep Power: 0 hehehe, I want to get my future Civic up to 180HP without a turbo/supercharger. I'm going to probably do the intake/header/exhaust thing first, then learn about what else I can do.

If you're going to mod a car to the max (especially performance wise), why are you buying a new car for that purpose?
Just buy a used car, do a swap, and start building your engine to whatever you want.

true but alot of ppl love the new design..and i think its the fact that when u get a new car, specially like a civic where everyone thinks that it is not fast cuz no one will swap a new engine in with warranty and all.
but when some one does in fact do it.. everyone just goes

Rep Power: 0 Tis possible don't give up hope brotha! Here is a set-up that will get you pretty damn near 180Whp...
-Intake
-Header
-Exhaust
-Pulleys
-High compression pistions
-Agressive Cam
-Intake manifold
-Port polish
-Greddy e-manage
And if you want to bore out the block while your changing pistons... You can achieve more Hp... Displacement=Hp...
I was planning to do my car All motor before I did my turbo set-up... My goal is to run low 1/4 mile times so I had to do forced induction. When you are building a N/a motor you need to maximize air flow and and what most people forget about N/A motors have to be tuned in order to get decent numbers... Fuel and ignition timing are key taking care of this would be the greddy e-manage. Best bang for the buck piggy-back system! And if you have V-tec you can mess around with that and you can always raise the rev limiter for additional high end Hp numbers...

Rep Power: 0 The best thing to do, is wait for the new Civic.. I have a fishy feeling a 2.0L is going to replace our underpowered 1.7L..
And SiR will be dropped.. just like Acura CL, and past Prelude... due to poor sales.
But Type-R will be in place of it.
That's my prediction anyway.

Rep Power: 0 I think the H22A is the best because its a powerful engine and easily installed through various generations.
H22A
200hp @ 6800
161 lb-ft @ 5500
B18C5
210hp @ 8000
134 lb-ft @ 7500
The B18 makes more horsepower than the H22A but than its at 8000rpm instead of 6800, but the H22A makes a lot more torque and earlier than the B18C5.
