how much horsepower?
Ok I have a 97 ex and I've added new headers, exhaust system, cold air intake, and colder spark plugs. I want to know how much horsepower I can make before i get ready to turbo it in 2 weeks. Any suggestion? Do you guys think im running about the same # of horsepower as an si? thanks guys! 8)

Re:how much horsepower?
right now? not at all after turbo yes i/h/e might give you 10-12 hp if your lucky
After turbo at 6psi youll probably make about 160-170 hp to the wheels |
Re:how much horsepower?
Why'd you add new headers and cai if you are going to turbo?
|
Re:how much horsepower?
id say no more than 10 hp.

Re:how much horsepower?
The only way to make power on a N/A Civic without building your engine is Nitrous Oxide. I had a 97 ex with h/i/e and ran a constant 17.0 at the track, pretty bad. No way to make 160hp with those components. You could be pushing about 110 or so to the wheels right now. Turbo it and it will be a whole different story.

Re:how much horsepower?
I just love the blind "How much horsepower???" questions all the time. Half the time they ask with no intention of actually installing the ---- since they dont know the difference between a wrench and thier ass.

Re:how much horsepower?
With straight bolt-ons you can make some gains but NAAAWS isn't really a NA motor anymore is it?
The civic I had was a D16A6 and they'd dropped D15 pistons on it to bump the compression. Power increase was quite noticeable. There are inexpensive ways to make more power on these motors. I seem to remember a local guy with a D16A6 - he did the mini-me and higher compression pistons - ZC I think He did some minor head work and intake manifold with I/H/E was dynoed for about 165hp. -Michael

Re:how much horsepower?
You are right it would not be N/A ;D. I'm not a fan of it but you know that laughing gas is the quickest and could be cheapest way to get and extra 30 or 40 hp and is simple enough to install by almost anyone. If you know how to do it, then yes go ahead and install the pistons, but if he's going to be Turbo in 2 weeks, he should not do that period, he should wait and spend money on the turbo. He'll be happier that way.

Re:how much horsepower?
NOS better know as NAWZZZ is the most expensive upgrade you can do....I see it like this...$400-$500 a kit and then $40 to fill the bottle a week if you rarely spray it.
In one year that is $2080 for filling the bottle only ... that's a bad ass turbokit with some nice standalone. |
Re:how much horsepower?

Re:how much horsepower?

Re:how much horsepower?
i'm curious where the other header gets installed...
(people saying headers when refering to a 4cyl == funny!) |

Re:how much horsepower?
i have, but they're still on the same flange usually (therefore still a header)
