I have a 1996 Civic EX 5 Speed that I use as my daily driver. I know I have a 12 second car at home in the garage but I'm tired of being beaten by SUV's when I'm in my daily. My only stipulation is that I don't want to use nitrous. I'm open to any suggestions as long as it's economical. My current best time is a 16.60 with a 2.4 or so 60 foot and my current mods are APC short ram intake, APC front and rear strut tower braces and a Flowmaster muffler.

 

a honda-tech classifieds turbo, thats where i got mine and im in the 15's
950 shipped to my door put it on myself

 

stock motor?

40-50 shot N20.. but please.. no lic. plate frame.. neon lights.. do a sneaky pete setup.. no one ever has to know..

 

So a used turbo kit is the easiest way you think? I must say a turbo is very tempting. If I could find one for a decent price I'd love to go turbo.

 

i got mine for 950 shipped to my door on hear on the forced induction classifieds. it is simply amazing and the set-up is freikin stealth here is a link to the kit i got

and if you do get one, PM me for help on the install if you need it, i have the same car as you and the install was easy as ****

 

If you have a 12 second car at home and this is your daily driver, who gives a **** if it's slow. That's the whole point about being a daily driver. A good economy, high miles per gallon car to get you from point A to point B.
