lt1 z28 vs. 2004 civic ex

ok gf got a 2004 honda civic and i'm impressed. I love driving the thing, it feels tight suspension wise and its peppy with it 5 speed. i was wanting to know what it would take to get it around the same 1/4 time as my camaro. i hav't been to the track since 2001 but then i ran 13.2 of course that was 4 years ago. is turbo the best route on a civic? price range for this time 3,500? What drivetrain problems would i run into

lol.... in order for a civic to even scratch 14's, it would take atleast 200whp and we start out with around 100ish with a stock 5spd...good luck though

to even get to high 13's such as a stock LT1 is capable of, you'd need FI or an engine swap. at least. lol

if you want to know more about turbo's, go to our Forced Induction forum. many very knowledgeable people there. do some searches, and ask some questions.

Fastest way... sell it for something else.
Easiest way with this car, Turbo an Accord motor.

there is no easy way.... any path you choose will cost $$ and take a lot of time and effort. To break into the low 13's as stated above, is engine swap with turbo.

Have to disagree with you there, I came pretty close with only 112whp. There are ways but you have to be willing to make sacrafices.

And yes to go low 13's it will take some motor work and either a big shot of N20 or a Turbo.

There is someone on this forum who swapped a k series engine into their 7th gen and did some engine work and is around 230hp i believe. Hondalover or something like that is his name.

Theres lots of turbo kits for V-8's. I can't think of any right now that come stock like that from the factory though. Look at like Lingenfelter corvette's or Hennessey Vipers. They have twin turbo kits for those engines.

Jesus christ, go upstairs out of your f*cking basement and tell you mom what you did for your 31st b-day, instead of loosing your virginity, you went to a civic website and looked like an ***.
