Hi, i have a 2004 Civic LX Automatic, and I want to make it faster. What can i do to it? Im thinking about turbo kit and do some stuff to the tranny but dont know what all i need. Can someone list some stuff that i can do to my car, the price of the product and for it to be installed, and approx how much power can be gained?

Well ur not gonna go very fast in an automatic first of all. But if you want some slight performance boosts, you can looks into bolt ons, such as-

Exhaust- most run around 400-600

Intake- Wide variety, range in price from 100-355

Headers- Also pretty good selection, price ranges from 200 and up

Spark Plugs

Injectors

If ur lookin into Turbo, check out the Dezod thread. They have built a full kit for our engines. Their kit will run around 4,000. Add another 2000 to it for tuning, gauges, fuel management system, turbo timer, boost controller, etc.

I think u should do the K20 swap....sorry but your auto wont be fast no matter what....sure u can throw nitrous or a turbo on there but how long with that D17 hold up under nitrous and/or turbo....I say swap and for $6000 the guy just mentioned above...go with swap...either do the K20A2 (RSX type S) swap with I/H/E and Hondata or I would go with K20A3 (Civic SI and Base RSX) swap with boost...good luck man

I'm personally, in the future, will be going with probably a K20A3 with boost OR K20A2 with N/A mods....more than likely it will be the K20A3 w/boost b/c boosting is so much fun

Drive down to Texas and buy my complete kit for $4,000. I am including PnP head, Custom Cam, Custom I/M, Sf Turbo kit w/ all upgrades available, Catless down pipe. I can also get you all the parts off of my car for you to do the auto to manual conversion (for the right price). I will do the install for free for the $4k price. The install of the head, cam and turbo kit is owrth at least $1,000. Ask around how much just the head install would be.

trade it while it has some value. or nitrous. those are the only 2 low(er) cost options that will do a damn.

Ok, i guess i'll save for a swap for Rsx-S engine, how much am i looking at? What all would i need for the swap? Who can i bring it to to swap, i live in a small city so it might be hard and would they have all needed material for swap or would i have to buy them?
