Default How can I make my go faster..... I mean FASTER!

hahaha

I am new here so don't give me a rough time.. I know my forum name is gay... please excuse that because I was in a hurry to start asking questions so I couldn't think of anything else...

Now to my question... I just got a 1998 Civic Si (Canadian Version, US = EX Version)

Doesn't have the B16 like the US Si, instead it has that dinky D something..

One more thing... it is an automatic!!!!! grrrrrrrrrr

What is the best way that I can increase it's speed drastically? Should I go for the swap, I/H/E and other goodies etc... or just a turbo and I/H/E and other goodies?

Can my car handle a turbo? It is worth it with a automatic?

Well, here comes your hard time. At the end of your post, it made me laugh..Haha...

Here goes...You must not know much about turbo considering you said "or just a turbo and I/H/E and other goodies? No headers pal. You're gonna get flamed so bad for that later on.

I dont know if you've seen that video with the Mustang "GTR" and the guy said he has a rotary engine, turbos, headers, and an intercooler that came with it. Not only that, his Mustang "GTR" is rare...They uh..only made a few of those...

Anyways, that stupid **** made a fool of himself. Turbo's do not use headers. They use "exhaust/turbo manifolds". I don't really understand your question since you were in such a rush typing everything you left out just about 84798 words. But bottom line, if you don't know much about what you're talking about, leave the motor alone.

B18C1 swap w/ GSR or B16 Tranny like Jinx said. This means you get to do an auto to manual swap. I would save your money after that, don't worry about getting a intake or headers, get a 2.5" - 3" exhaust, it'll slow you down at first, then start RESEARCHING a turbo system and decide what is right for you. Good Luck!

why would u want to go to turbo with a b16 tranny? seems to me the gears are too short... gsr tranny would better... even an LS.

Here we go again....

The shorter the gears the quicker the acceleration. This is physics and nothing can change it.
