ok, after working my *** off all summer, I'll have a reasonable amount of money.. I'd like to have the best of the best even though it may take time to save up.. What components should I get (if no cap on money), this car needs to be drivable everyday so no stage 5 clutch... But I want LOTS of horse n torque, as much as possible w/ maybe a stage 3 clutch, with boost comes engine work, what will I need to get done before hand? Also, leave some estimates if you could, I'll be printing this out and starting to look around..

note: already have i/h/e, upgrading exhaust.. my exterior is fine (no work needed), and my interior is fine (no work needed).. all money goes for engine..

 

What kind of engine do you have?

 

if i were you get a supercharger if you all ready have i/h/e then a SuperCharger would be great

 

oh yeah, its a 99 Si, 1.6l dohc vtec b16a3

 

a supercharger? would that give more horse/torque than a turbo? I heard turbos are better as they are more efficient and offer more power... correct me if im wrong.. i dont know much about this stuff, i run on what i hear

 

if you get a supercharger get a vortec, its a 117 horsepower gain on an si

 

since you have an si go with the vortech supercharger. it is more daily streetable. Turbo would be a whole lot nicer though.

 

I'd watch out for the Turbo though. I have heard and read that they can be a pain because of all the tweaks, etc... just to get it going correctly and it requires a lot of tuning after the install. Dont get a JR supercharger but get a vortech. JR is nice, but maybe not as good as they were.. I have a 99 SI and I plan to put a vortech in at the end of june/mid july.

 

u already got i/h/e. damn thats like a grand down the drain if u go turbo. i say u go ctr pistons, some sort of thin headgasket, ctr/itr cams, good springs, R intake manifold, and dyno dyo dyno
