You know didn't think I was in an English class forum kind of thought it was a car forum so while everyone is questioning how many question marks and periods I'm missing I'm kind of still looking for answers

For real, though. It's tough for us to help if we can't understand what you're saying. Spending that split second extra amount of time to punctuate your questions will improve the quantity and quality of responses.

If you're asking about forced induction, take a second to go through the FAQs in the Forced Induction section. This section is more about maintaining the 5th gen. civic. The forced induction section is about building them.

User Grumblmarc had a great thread geared specifically towards answering your initial question. A link to his thread and Esotericimages' thread can be found here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-...tions-1998336/

So, how deep is your pocket? Your goal is 320hp. How much money are you willing to dump into this? Don't really know what other way of "unique" or "different" way to achieve that other then just build and turbo it. Just like all other have done. What is your plan for it anyway? Daily driven, weekend warrior? Track monster?

Develope a goal and go from there. Research, research, research.

How are your mechanical skill? What can you do and what can't you do? Are there performance shop in town that can tune or better yet, build it for u..

Its a single cam, boost it for your HP goal. Can't see any other way to get there..

Please insert some kind of commas or period in your sentence. Really hard to read run on sentence. Easier to read, easier to answer your questions.

Whoa, easy there, killer. Just getting some digs in on ya! Not to sound like a dick, but your question can be easily answered by research on here or any other forum, for that matter. Building or modifying a motor isn't as easy as just asking a few opinions. I'm new to this forum, but I've been on forums for years between the other Honda's I've owned and my Corvette...
Just use the search button, man. Thats all we're getting at. And use grammar. Grammar is what differentiates between you helping your Uncle Jack, off a horse, and you helping your uncle jack off a horse...

Well I have pretty deep pockets for the project. I really want this civic to be special. And I've been looking around but everything seems to be GSR or k20 swaps

Where are you looking? I've a GSR swap with a supercharger and my build is on the first page. The Forced Induction section is, literally, all forced induction.

I also do all of my own work except electrical I have a hard time with that. The goal is yes a minimal of 320 just feel like that would be easier when it comes to getting it to the ground. I've heard once you get 400 and up you it becomes difficult.

OP: What kind of driving do you plan on doing?
You want the kind of HP you should concentrate on how's the car's handling going to be first. Spend money on the suspension and steering then worry about your hp and torque.

OP: Why are you avoiding this question. Power is useless without handling..unless you wanto just go in a striaght line. If that's the case get any car with 300+ hp.

Do 94-01 integra seats

Leather.

They're direct plug n play and are the best interior upgrade you could possibly do.

Power is useless without handling..unless you just want to go in a straight line. If that's the case get any car with 300+ hp.

No they aren't.

You literally know nothing about Hondas, you should stay the **** out of the tech section before you ruin someone else's car.
