Default Biggest bang for my honda civic...

I NEED POWER ON MY HONDA... I have recently put in a greddy catback exaust system, but now need more power to back up the sound... suggestions please the most inexpensive way would be nice since I am a highschool student and work but money is tight! Also, when I use my ac all the power is sucked out of my car. sometimes while in idle it kills the engine, should I turn up the idle speed? Any recomendations... THANKS!

That is a really vague question man, people are going to flame you. To be honest, if you do a search you'll find alot more info than anyone is willing to type in this thread for you.

i see you have one post left for the day.. be wise when you use it. don't post all your ignorant questions. just read up and learn about the magical powers of VTEC and engine swaps... don't be thinking that you can learn everything about cars just by watching "Fast and the Furious"...

my recommendation is push stop, eject the dvd and burn it, that movie has NO useful information...

anyway here's a link to get you started

Honda swaps


oh ****, brb i gotta order my spoon engine.

Get a Greddy Kit (turbo) to go along with your Greddy exhaust.

strap a snail on that beotch. Build a custom kit. Do research and you'll spent alot less. You can probably boost for 500-800 bux if you look for deals. If you have a sohc, I wouldn't reccomend staying NA. Save your money for something worthwhile instead of cheap power adders. There's only so much you can do to a NA sohc. I know, I use to have one. I made the mistake of buying every part out there and it wasn't enough. Then I boosted it and was left with headers and a CAI. I sold them but I should have just waited and saved for something that'll actually make my car fast

oh thats right. the post calling him a noob. telling him to stop watching F+F... OF COURSE! and oh yea... telling him to read about swaps... how helpful of you!

the best bang for your buck would be nitrous or a junkyard turbo kit.

for more info on junkyard kits, visit http://www.homemadeturbo.com [the masters of junkyard turbo kits].

and to be honest, read more... post less. the more you read [learn] the less vague questions you're gonna ask.

Welcome to H-T btw...
