best power options
 

for a civic how do you get the best power? I want to beat all the kids cars at my highschool and one kid has an older corvette that is really his dads but he tells everyone it is his. i think it is a 1995 model but im not sure because i don't like cars that aren't hondas. how do I get enough speed to beat all the best cars at my shcool

well... what kind of civic do you have? and engine... any mods? $$ you can spend? theres ways of doing it.. although a corvette is kinda a big target to pick owning a civic

^agreed thats a huge target for a civic.

you can 1: turbo and upgrade basics costing around 3-4K
you can 2: Swap a bigger motor into your civic
you can 3: sell the civic for a faster car!

a corvette might be hard to beat but i have the si version of the civic (mine is a 2002) with vtec.

i can spend up to about $5000 now and i could get more in 2 months because i get paid well. i have a CAI and have already set aside money for exhuast so dont count that in the $5000

so you have an Si...and you can spend 5k? sounds like a turbocharger is in order...it'll get you close to beating vettes...and Im pretty sure you can beat that 95 vette with a turbo Si....pick up a Drag kit and you'll be smashn.

thank you can you give me a link to a good turbo also and a drag kit.

what is the best turbo and psi can I get up to maybe 13 psi?

build your internals and turbo. Since you drop some cash in it, go with a stand alone management. Even if you just slap a turbo on that Si without building and decent mangamenet, your 02 Si will not get close to a Vette. Go to the track, you'll see some boosted Hondas (DOHC) still getting their ass handed to them by Vettes..... it's a reality. Hondas are not fast eventhough I have 3 of them.....

hondas arent supposed to be fast in a straight line anyways
thats why they have steering wheels
