2012 Honda Civic EX Sedan

Hello! Im going to be getting a 2012 Honda Civic EX Sedan. It will be the first car I've financed and my first "nice car." Im excited and already wanting to look into modding. I was wondering.. I know the Si version is faster but I'm not able to get one unfortunately. Just curious, Am i able to turbo the EX? Also, what mods do you recommend first? Thanks!

Re: 2012 Honda Civic EX Sedan

Is it an automatic? That'll be your limiting factor for boosting. If you want to mod, I'd suggest you not get that car. You could probably get a 1st gen TSX that would be much more receptive to mods (subjectively nicer as well).

You'd be less into an Si compared to turbocharging the EX, anyway.

Yes. It is an automatic 1.8l

Not an ideal starting platform. It's doable but you'd be into it for way more than it'd cost to just buy an Si, Accord or TSX.
