Ok, Let Me rephrase myself...I want 500hp...but most of the cars around here are really beat up or need some exterior work..screw sound and body kit (it took me a minute to realize how much my sub box weighs). So I just want to be a sleeper that looks nice, but with loads of power and a nice interior. Btw. bubble butts are fast.. I want one I can get an engine swap done. Whats and engine that can handle with work and make 500 hp with turbo....I want a shop to do the work, bc if you saw my mustang...youd know why. lol..damn ford's.Thanks again. I have no plans for show car. Just cobra eater. hehehe

 

I saw a video of a del sol on streetfire making 600+ Whp. Thats crazy.

 

it takes a lot of internal work to get that much power, a lot of tranny work tog et it to the ground, and a lot of money in suspension and wheels to hold traction. you're talking a 10k project at least...probably more.

 

You can put a K in the EK just fine... there's video on JDMCivic.com of alot of the work. I forgot the link but there must be like 20 pages of pics. You can look it up. They guys car is a dark tan color with a yellow valve cover I think. He has video of driving it. Sounds sweet.

But seriously, you dont need 500HP. Its called power to weight ratio and you will get plenty of power for the very little weight your pulling. Fords need 500 HP because they got 2 tons of metal attached to the steering wheel.

Besides, sounds like a you want a daily driver anyways. I can see those injectors just dripping at the stop light....

 

If you ever do get your civic up to 500WHP, come back and post some pics and vids.

Just spend around 6k for a brand new crate engine that will crank out 270 hp and If you get a Turbo it will be roughly 400 or more hp.
