Hello everyone Sickprelude here i am building a h23a motor i was wondering what would be the best setup for this type of motor. the motor am running has only 60,000 miles on it i want it to run like a beast but don't know which road i should take with the build. i really don't want to turbo is but it could be a option i would really like to do all motor. i am trying to do a sick *** motor im really trying to stay away from going into the motor with rods and cams and stuff but just looking for some opinions thats all just need some help. Trying to get at lease 220hp out of it

Engine bay mods

Cold air intake
Sway bar
9.5 mm wires
3" catback piping
apexi n1 muffler system

WHAT IM LOOKING INTO GETTING SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!

pacesetters 4-2 headers
gude performance intake manifold
managflow highflow cat
tuned and chipped ;P

 

if your looking to build a, "sick *** motor" then you might want to play with internal if not youll just have a full bolt-on motor, but either way the h23a is pretty stout and can hold its own.

if its the h23a blue top im sure a really good tune with what you already have will put down some pretty decent numbers.

 

ok man thanks for the input what would be the best upgrades inside the engine? i mean im looking for some cheap modz to create a lot of power. please just let me know man thanks so much

another question
and do you think a all bolt on motor chipped and tune work be a nice *** motor??

 

Lots of power and cheap don't go together my friend

Stop wasting money on bolt ons...unless it is a power proven part (which nothing you have listed is)
Only thing you got thus far that is even beneficial to the motor is the 3" piping. What is the outlet diameter of the pacesetter header you want to get?
A different intake manifold isn't going to do squat, as well as the 9.5mm wires. All overkill and pointless.
Saving a little money for a valvetrain and cam upgrade would trump all this other stuff you have listed.

Keep money aside for the tune, that's a must. But, save from there.

 

so your saying i should just do cams and a tune?

so intake, headers and all the other stuff are pointless????

Just wondering man im really liking to create a sick motor man

 

A sick motor doesn't come from cheap upgrades like a pacesetter header....

Talley up the money you have spent so far and the money you plan on the next upgrades you have listed.
Then look up prices for valvesprings, retainers, and cams.
100% guaranteed you will make well over quadrouple the horsepower from cams then those silly boltons.

How much power do you think you are going to make from a crappy header, a cold air intake and intake manifold?

Don't believe companies marketing hypes about "Instant horsepower gains"...it's all bs

Read through the faq in the all motor section and get familiar

 

true than what kind of headers are worth buying my favorite company is megan racing man i love that company i was thinking about building a whole motor on the company parts but some people don't like their parts idk man i love their parts tho what kind of headers are you running on the civic???

 

my next upgrade i wanna do in the next week or so is headers, high flow cat

 

header. header. header. you only have ONE header, not TWO headerS

 

i know man you get the point im looking for help building a motor not someone saying header header header really sorry for saying headers man but its w.e i know my car only has one header i was just saying thats all man relax

 

"building" a motor isn't bolting things on either.

 

ok man w.e im not coming to this site any more w.e

 

^Exactly....

 

PLM tri-y longtube

Nice attitude....

Good, logoff...byebye

 

hahaha crying face haha this site is trash ill find a better honda site for help kids are a bunch of *********

 

everyone chill out. Sickprelude92 if you want to build a motor is going to cost ou money for internals and tuning if you want to do it correct. If you are choosing not to open the motor itself than your only opinions are nitrous and turbo. You will not be spending so much to do a basic nitrous setup as you would for turbo. That would be my suggestion.
