Re: best way to make my civic faster (kr0nic1)
well how much you wanna spend, i did password jdm intake, dc sport header, and invide exhaust, and si fuel rail, and i can beat si's. 15.7 isnt to bad for a single with bolt ons, but not fast enough at all im going to try boost.

Re: best way to make my civic faster (JwithTHEek)
well other than intake manifold, i pretty much have any/all bolts on i can get. ho except adjustable cam gear & i have no tune/chip/etc.
i am enjoying what i have done, i have had fun learning. currently i have switched gears to get the coupe to look clean
i am willing to pay for little here or there bolt on but no spray and no boost

If you didn't live in Florida, I'd sell you a D series turbo manifold, 16G turbo, a very quiet blowoff valve and a side-mount intercooler for $500. Sleeper status setup.
You could probably even have somebody custom make a heat shield for the exhaust manifold so the turbo isn't even visible with the hood popped, and somebody who doesn't know anything about turbo won't know the difference.
Then when you race somebody in, say, a G35 or 350Z or something and blow their doors off, you can tell them it's stock.
Seriously though... for real, you should really consider waiting until you know more about what you're trying to do before you start buying parts and dumping money into the car. In case you DO decide not to listen to this smart advice, at least save yourself the risk of crashing your car when/if you turbo it and spend some extra dough on good suspension and tires.
Also a transmission with LSD helps as well; no side-jerking when you slam into gears and spin your tires.
In case you didn't know, LSD is not a drug or hallucinogen on honda-tech. LSD stands for Limitted Slip Differential, an aftermarket component in a D series transmission that converts power to both wheels instead of just one. (I.e; your car will go straight while spinning tires instead of "slipping" off to the side). Expensive, but worth it IMO.

i would say by reading your posts that you are completely incapable of boosting your civic yourself.....and if you did....and it worked....it would blow up very quickly......best way to make it faster is to spend your money on head upgrades, and intake manifold headers an exhaust that actually ADDS performance, and get it tuned by a tuning shop.

Hey man, I agree with you everybody had to learn somewhere. And I also agree on ppl don't need to be jerks with you on it, now from what redman223 said I think you should do also, like I have. I have a notebook that i'm putting together with a bunch of different stuff so that you can always have something to go back on. Just search different places also and study a bunch of different stuff. Anything else you'd like to know just send a message or something.
