Is it possible to achieve 160HP or more HP?~~

[kevin7]

Hi, guys, I'm driving a 02 Honda Civic Coupe with 115 HP. What should I intall, then I can get more horsepower?

what's the best buy for intake? how much more horsepower can I get from it?


Thanks for help!!

Not sure what the best intake would be but theres not really an exact amount of HP they will give you. You wont really notice a difference at all unless you go with new intake + new exhaust or something. Then you might get like 10 extra HP. I think it all depends on the car.

well since you have a honda i think forced induction would be your best bet. that or an engine swap.

with 115hp base i wouldn't try to soup it up to race other cars because you'll just get blown away by us nissan's .... but if you're doing it for yourself personally get intake/exhaust/header. prolly 10-15 hp, depends on the quality of the parts and your base hp.

agreed.. honda's are so light, if you swap out the engine you can make it pretty quick. prolly $1200 for a good engine + labor.

add bout...4-5k to that an ur set. i'd say go w/ the k20a3 because it can swap directly in, an is a GREAT base. i/h/e, an ur sittin at around 190-200hp TO THE WHEELS (stock=170-175)

but u guys are correct, really motor swap or FI are the only ways u'll see any type of real gains. or u could always go for a 50 shot, a lot of guys w/ the 7th gen's go that way for their quick power.

Didnt Import Tuner or some other magazine make like 19.2hp on the RSX-S dyno with an AEM CAI? :finger: So yes, it does depend on the car and yes, go for the swap

those honda engines are that expensive? i dont know anything about hondas. all i know is that i can pick up a ca18det nissan engine that puts out 170hp for about 1200.

still a lil pokey, i have a feeling i'll never be able to get it fast with it being a darn auto im gonna save up and get a modded sr next yr.

[fatninja19]

ca18det for that cheap?? Thats a freaking steal! But you'll need the wiring harness, ecu, and trans......

[EJ20]

you can

trade it in for a neon srt-4
trade it in for a used Si
trade it in for a rsx
trade it in for a used type-s
trade it in for a used prelude
trade it in for a WRX and break your tranny after 10 or so launches
trade it in for a ITR


of course

NOS, ZEX, NX,,, etc..

Buy a JDM engine from Spoon and buy lots of Spoon parts

or buy a Jun Prepared Engine (comes in various stages) Same link

that's just one of them, i see them all the time for around 1200. now the sr's, they start at around 2500 for a good one.

I don't know about HP figures, but I know a guy local to me that has run a best of 15.5 in the exact same car as yours (no-VTEC either). What he has is I/H/full-Exhaust ignition mods, removed back seat and a short-shifter. He made the pass using street tires and the dude is easily 230+lbs himself.

That's just as fast, if not faster than some Civic Si's, and those cars have at least 160HP.

P.S. He ran that E.T. above at Speedworld here in Phoenix, which is about 1,000 feet above sea-level.
