She has more aggressive pads, crossed and slotted rotors, SS brakes lines, Hi Temp brake fluid, lightweight 18s and 235mm wide sticky tires. I am interested in performance upgrades either bolt ons, a supercharger, a turbo, or K20 head. Some upgraded sway bars and Acura TL-S Brembo front calipers. Please help me modify this CRV where is handles, stops, turns in better, and accelerate harder. If I could dependably make 250-350 whp with breaking, and being a well sorted auto I would be happy. I have ZERO doubt in her ability to drive really fast cars that handle great, stop on a dime, and hang qith 600cc and 750cc motorcycles. She just loves this CRV so I want to make it something special for her since she does so much for me.

Nothing you do to it will allow it to hang with 600-750s lol.

Not unless you swap to a 5-6spd manual and start a turbo build with a goal of 600-700hp.

skyhighsami

The comment of hanging with with 600 and 750 was a joke. Honestly if the CRV ran a 14.5, automatic, AWD, full weight I would be beside myself.

Crv is heavy and under powered.

You should AWD J swap it!

I have 2 different cars that hang with motorcycles. I just wjsh the CRV had more power.

I have an 05 AWD,5 Speed CRV, and are facing the same issues looking for more power without spending 3,000 dollars, and starting anotherhugh project.

ultimately I was originally thinking of swapping the A1 for the K24A2, and call it a day. But the more Iresearch that and doing a K20 head swap , the more money I'm finding I'd have to spend on Kpro, or AEM piggy back deal, and the drive by throttle body wire vs electric ordeal.

I'm really at a loss here. And getting really discouraged with my recent purchase. If anyone could chime in with some accurate advice on adding some more power for my situation, It would be greatly APPRECIATED ...

Thanks In Advance...

I gave up on my wife's CRV. I lowered it, upgraded the brakes, and lowered it. I then bought an 06 GMC Yukon something I am really familiar with. I ordered the lowering kit for it Thursday, got wheels for it a month ago, a stereo in, exhaust made for it, dyno tuned it today and have a 6.0 transmission and rearend for it. So I will have a SUV with 3 rows of seats, that will go anywhere a CRV will, out tow it and run some high 12s to mid 13s

I'm sorry Sami, but you are sky high if you think an '06 GMC Yukon is going to run high 12's to mid 13's without many thousands of dollars worth of work, and for certain the removal of that third row (and second row) seat. My Mustang can run 12.8 second 1/4 with 406 hp at the wheels and it weighs at least 1400 pounds less than a Yukon. That's a power:weight ratio of ~8.8. Using the same power:weight ratio for a 5000 pound Yukon you're looking at almost 600 rwhp.

skyhighsami

That was actually my goal. But I'm not ski high when I say that my Trailblazer all motor runs 11.7 and cuts 1.7 60' with some suspension work, and tire psi adjusted. Nor will I be sky high when my Silverado runs what I am building it to run.

Str8 trolling here. Comes to a honda site to make claims on a non honda .

ThisIsMatt

I'm not gonna say it's trolling. I mean, it's a thread that he started and it started with wanting to make his wife's CR-V faster. That's pretty applicable. If it were my thread about why my AC doesn't work and he replied with "Because my GMC Brick runs 10's and Honda sucks", then I'm inclined to agree with you.
