my opinion is that you should take all of that money that you're spending and buy a nitrous kit.

Who cares, you're almost done (if you're actually doing this work, and not just asking about your dream setup) so just go put it on the dyno if you want to know. e-bench racing sucks, and isn't allowed in this forum.

wats e-bench racing

ive only spent like 500$ for all this stuff? I think its a good idea, why is everyone hating?

My suggestion: Don't even ask for estimates, just go to a dyno and get the actual sheets. No one will really take you seriously without them.

Nobodys hating bro. So relax. Sounds like a good setup you've got going there. Good luck with that. Hit up the dyno when you're done so you can get an accurate reading of how much HP you made. It's hard to determine how much HP you'll get from any upgrade. Post up some Dyno #'s when you get em

just dont believe the ads on ebay for some of those parts... obx intake mani and tb spacer arent going to get you 10hp gains like they will probably say.. plugs wires, cap rotr.. not much power there, unless your old stuff was extremely old and in dire need of replacement.. pulleys, not much, if anything.. and i dont know about the ecu or the p&p head.. i would say you probably got more hp out of the i,h,e than the new stuff you just added

2000psi

P&P head??? depending on who did the work, you can either gain about 10HP or loose HP over stock.

Alright..... heres the deal with a civic you will NOT get decent power unless you have some sort of fourced induction like turbo or n02. You can spend all the money you want but until you add those you wont be in the 150whp range till you buy some sort of fourced induction...


P.S read the god damn rules please.... lock this thang

good response

sicky

You need to realize that the only Honda motors (NA) that will really see decent growth from those kind of mods are going to be the DOHC. You should have saved that money and put it toward a nice turbo kit, or a DOHC motor, you could even get a LS motor for that amount of money. What to drop that kind of motor for minimal gains.

dude, guys i only spent like 500$ thast barely anything, im not looking to race, we all just know that our stock civis when we first got them were ********, im just trying to get some get up and go power here. With what im doing i believe ill achieve what im looking for. forced induction will costs more, and ur just risking the motor, its a d series motor, i dont want to upgrade my internals, i want to sell this car within a year, and get the new 06 si. anyways. thanks for your comments.

pdiggitydogg

return that tb spacer...it doesnt do anything at all
pulleys do minimal gains, at best

atmosphere

i heard it gives u like 2 hp and gives u a nice sound.

DC4_MADMAN

add a cam to the mix, otherwise all the P&P and extra airflow from the IM and TB will be wasted.

siregcivic

go home made turbo...im getting my full turbo setup with intercooler dsm injectors and dsm fuel pump for 800.... i have the intercooler and mandifold already or else it would have been 1100 but thats everything tuned ecu everything

atmosphere

Why are you telling me to go turbo? i already have these parts their gonna be put in i was just asking how much hp do other car enthusiasts think i will get.

pdiggitydogg
