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

Rep Power: 314 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.

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

Rep Power: 271 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.
