Questions...

I just recently got in to automotives, and I'm waiting for someone to put out a turbo kit for my 02 civic ex. Can anyone tell me what psi is? Or what boost is? And is there any way to make my car faster other than force induction...?

Thanks in advance..

Re: Questions...

PSI = Pounds per square inch, its a measure of the ammount of boost you are running into your engine. Are there other ways to make your car run faster? Sure, there is nitrous, engine swaps, cams, shorter gearing, there are lots of ways to make your car faster. Forced induction is just the best way to get the most horsepower for your dollar.

Check out the automotive section at www.howstuffworks.com it will show you how most everything youd want to know about works.

Re: Questions...

Forced induction is the best for the buck, but isn't as reliable without a built motor

Re: Questions...

^^ agreed, I've been researching turbo stuff for a few months now, not heavily, but I still don't feel ready to tackle it on my own...do more research...a lot more.
