What is the best way to get a 97 Civic Ex down into the mid 15's hopefully for around 1000 dollars. No nitrous though.

 

You can't get it in the 15's? Shouldn't be too hard.

 

What would you recomend to do it? what kind of bolt ons get that kind of power?

 

Gut it and get slicks

 

Thats an option, any others?

 

homemade turbo

 

Go with your basic bolt-ons i/h/e. Throw in a zex cam, valve springs and you should be in the 15's.

If i had $1000 mine would be in the mid 13's

 

I would go with a home made turbo... start salvaging local junkyards for parts... and what you can't find you can pick up on the internet... my friend my his home made intercooled turbo for around 500 bucks... if you are not up for or can not do this kind of work i suggest you try to find a used turbo kit of someone... just bolt it on with stock internals and boost at about 6 psi... start looking in the classified sections for used turbo kits... ex civics can be made pretty fast with a little time.

 

do you think this setup is a good setup with stock internals


does any one know if this setup will produce some good power ???????????/

Agreed.

 

We are talking about a car with 99k miles, wouldnt turboing it be equal to waking up in the morning and before doing anything else running a mile? i dont want my poor engine to endure that. think i should just try to swap it?

99k and the motor is just starting to break-in.

The problem with turbo charging a stock ex is that the cylinder walls suck. You would most likely end up blowing it up if you put more than 6-8psi to it.

If you get the turbo setup correctly and fuel management it will be fine with low boost.
