If u want some large gains go with a turbo kit, u should be blowin the doors off the little civics anyway but the tegs will be slippin into the rearveiw wit da turbo

Hey,

I don't think you will be able to get very big gains without going to somthing like a turbo or a supercharger. I ludes come from the factory pretty tuned out as it is. As for the appearance side of things there is one thing that is sure to set you apart, JDM headlights. These things are beautiful and you can usually find them on ebay for under $400.

Good luck and welcome to the 4th Gen.

ah i already have 1 piece jdm headlights... lol...got those for like $200... i was talkin body kit, etc..eh you get it... so you really recommend going turbo like..now?! all i have is exhaust, headers, intake..dont you think maybe i should get/find an ECU or something?!! so for supercharging/turbo..where could i find a good one at reasonable price?... i still dont know how much hp i may have... probably not even over 200 huh... =( eh... i might need to worry about a racing clutch or something too huh?..oh yeah and uhm....anywhere i can find some good brakes? thanks guys..

almost forgot..which is better..turbo or supercharger...ive heard different things...

get some nitrous....and when your engine goes you can drop in the h22.

Tola · 07-30-2002, 01:09 AM

No offense, but don't get the turbo unless you know exactly what you want or what you're talking about. 2g is not enough for a reliable turbo setup. And there are not SC avaible for our cars...

I'd say get the nitrous, costs about $500 + labor charges. Use the rest of the remaining money on good tires.

get n2o and call it a day. Turbo involves more money and more tunage. Both of rich require skill and even i am learning i dont have enough of either

No, no where NEAR that. I'd say you are lucky if you are making 170-175 CRANK HP.

aright hm..nitrous?... dont i need a LITTLE more in my car for that?! what would i have to do to get AT LEAST 200hp?!.... yeah i was thinking turbo was a little advanced...then again, so is nitrous... eh... am i missing out on something here?!...lol... ah and tires...like what kind?.... open for suggestions...im so damn lost here...lol....
