Could get a K20a2 thats the RSX Type-S motor. 200 HP

I added just intake, and full exhaust. adds like what 10HP? i could tell the diffrence in my car. Even though i hate my car (sorry, i know Civicland but still) I could tell there was a diffrence.


I like the look of that, but i like blue also so :P.

Kits around 2900 I believe, the guy that MAKES and sells them is Mike@SF on 7thgencivic.com, several guys on the site have that setup and are posting up some very respectable numbers. He was/is toying with the idea of making several different trims (i.e. stag I, stag II), and the piping for he IC can be PC any color that you want included in the price of the kit.

hmm not too bad of a price. the kit i would want for my car (edelbrock) is like $3500 and it puts hp at 170 (to the wheels) on like 6 psi i believe. i like it b/c it comes w/ everything you need, plus i have like two different install write-ups on it so i'd be able to install it myself.

Yeah there are several people over on 2k1 that have put up some very nice HP at the wheels. I hopefully will be able to go NA with my ride when I get outta college, K24 TSX block w/ K20A Type-R head and tranny, with SI axles so that I can keep the 4 lug.

BMM, I'd suggest the Greddy kit, brotha. I know a guy who can sell you the complete Greddy 15g turbo kit (w/ Greddy E-Manage FMU), Greddy Type 31 FMIC kit, and BOV kit of your choice (Greddy Type S, HKS SSQ...) for 2200 shipped. W/ tuning and bigger injectors, the kit puts out around 210-220 whp and is capable of 13's on factory internals. Just FYI.

I love it. I got a car WITH a turbo on it and it's going to cost me another what? Grand and a 1/2 at least to get it to work properly?
I don't possibly understand how a turbo setup would be cheaper for him?!
But hey, that's just me.

Well first it is "vtec" and secondly vtec is not everything.Some ppl are gonna call me an asshole...buut..dump the newer civic an get a decent 5th or 6th gen,swap a b18b (non vtec)and turbo that beeyatch!! For the price i think that project would be a better/nicer car than a 7th gen.I don't know what options you got with your Lx,but this project might be cheaper.
Sorry to offend anyone..but...

7th gen civics
Just not a fan of them

hmm, i don't know much abou turbo but i know that greddy = no intercooler? atleast the greddy kits on ebay don't have them. is there any downside to that?
