Ive got a budget of about $2500...Ive got a CAI + n1 catback

For some serious power I was thinkin about the following:

JDM sped header (2.5"), high flo 2.5", custom catback piping 2.5"

Skunk2 IM, skunk2 cams, PnP head...any other ideas?

 

i wouldn't do skunk 2 cams i would rather do crower cams.. they are cheeper and put out more power from 1000 rpms to 9000 rpms.

err...thats not gonna make serious power....for 2500 go for turbo

or is this an teggy motor in a civic?

 

What about a good header, 50 shot of NOS, VAFC, Adj. FPR, Cam gears, & Upgraded clutch and flywheel?

maybe he doesnt want his motor to blow within a year

 

i say go with TODA cams

 

crower 403's or 404's work great

 

Jun 3 w/ jun valvesprings/retainers, hondata s100 tuned for starters

 

i heard crower cams suck, especially the vtec series case they have the same specs as ITR cams,lol

 

comptech race header
2.5 cat
CTR cams AND pistons

yeah have you ever been in a turbo honda?? if you have you will love it.. i went turbo and got the complete kit for under 2500 and im already in the 13s!! stock clutch tires and internals!! just a bolt on turbo kit! Go and hang out in the FI forum. youll never look back.. well only to see you slowwwwww *** competition!!

 

Ayyy you guys I wanted somethin nice, fast, and reliable plus DEPENDABLE. All my friends are goin turbo, I guess I might as well.

I swear to christ my mind sways everyday...I really wanted power N/A cuz theres nothin more respectable than a 13 sec all motor (OR FASTER) car N/A.

My car is a Teg indeed. My civic is on cinder blocks right now.

Someone give me links to some turbo kits for 2500 and under (Ill be using DSM injectors + VAFC too!)

 

hey i just did some caculations, i did my complete kit
Manifold
Turbo
Downpipe
Flexpipe
piping
intercooler
bov
wastegate
injectors
ecu
couplings
t clamps
fuel pump
oh i guess if forgot guages
all for under $1800!!!
No ****! But the only thing is that i pieced the whole kit together myself. it took like 4 mos. but i have it now and its clowing for that much money i spent. check out the FI classifieds. let us know how it works out!

 

dont forget TB, injectors, valve springs, weld your combustion chamber too

and most impotantly get it tuned right~!

 

find a good tuner and doing it right is the key with turbo

 

If i had that much......i'd just keep my car reliable......and ALL MOTOR! Get a crower/skunk2 head package, ctr oversized pistons, skunk2/jg intake manifold, any kind of aftermarket header, keep the n1 cat back, test pipe, chipped ecu, lowering if not done yet..camber kit...........just keep it simple and reliable..pop your hood to the v8 guys..and it'll look basically stock...lol, but wont sound stock when your reving past 9.5k!!!!!

 

hehe Idk yet man its still up in the air...

I coul dalways go turbo after all the N/A stuff right ?

you can definately choose turbo after N/A. Its not bad, just swap out the parts you don't want in your turbo setup. I like the N/A approach. Im working on getting Cams and Cam gears, then eventually some B16 Pistons and ill have a nice all motor setup running 13's...and 12's with my slicks maybe

 

I have crower 63402 vtec cams, I'm only making 170 to the wheels...I did expect more... Go with some skunk 2's or Toda's; crowers are great cams for non-vtec...
I haven't tuned the cams yet though... just the a/f ratio with the s100...

 

youre name says sleeper ls so are you saying you have a 170hp ls if so that sound sweet to me..

I was just reading ur setup and i just gotta say its badass

 

i love the sound of a highly modded out N/A DOHC VTEC honda..

they sound really nice, and rev really high.
go N/A. you will enjoy it.

 

It runs very strong, I thought it would make more power, but it has a nice broad powerband

 

2500 bux is easily spent when going N/A.

Toda would be a good selection, but that'd eat up the money so fast. Cams and valvesprings would eat up almost 60% of the money.

I'd suggest buying some EF-1 (www.ef-1.com) cams / valvesprings. They are very resonably priced and judging from the specs, are very agressive.

Get some CTR pistons to make those cams sing well into the high RPMs.

Header Tech header and custom exhaust, and you'll be set.

Lets review:
EF-1 Cams / Valvesprings = 950 bux (rough figure)
CTR Pistons = 325
Header Tech header = 600
Total = $1875

leaves you plenty of money to toy around with
