How much power can ya get out of an si

Just like the title says how much power can you reall get out of an si. I mean after you change rods pistons, ...etc....oh ps i dont wanna any stupid respones about it being better to get a different engine.

what year are you talking about?

what kinda si? 92-95 civic si with the d16z6 or 99-00 civic si with the b16a2? i've seen b16as with built internals having 300 hp+ with turbo. they are very good motors.

Yeap, 351whp on my friend's 99 SI:D

i was talking about the 92 to 95 thats in my price range

ah yes the d16z6 i seen dyno charts of a d16z6 fully built runnin 25psi of boost 434hp and 366 lbs torque, to the wheels

Im not really looking for that much, my goal is to hit atleast 200, i know it wont be easy nor cheap.

with good engine management and a turbo, 200 at the wheels shouldent be to hard. if you want to go all moter then get a programable efi and start looking into pistons, head bolts, cams, springs, and retainers. get the lightest and strongest stuff you can afford for the valve train.

Here is the reality of the B16A. It is as fast as your pocket book makes it. As long as companies come out with parts like they currently are, the possibilities of that motor is endless. I have seen basic bolt on super and turbo chargers make nearly 300 crank horse with the right cooling. To make power with DOHC VTEC honda motors is so easy. Your main problem to face is motor integrity. Honda motors are made for NA applications, but a nice set of forged pistons and titanium valves, retainers, ect. and say hello to 400+ turbo/vtec horsepower. No lie. No sweat :sun:

thansk for the ingo but we werent talking about the b16a
