I really need some help I am new to the whole car scene and am loking to get my civic around 400-500 horse power in the cheapest way.......that may sound a little retarded......if there is anyone that can help me please leave a post

 

Well since you are new to the car stuff i have one thing to say. Resaearch, you want 400-500 hp for cheep? ahahahah i am sorry but that is going to cost at least several grand probably

 

Well you're definitely going to have to go turbo or get out of the civic scene, that's for sure.
400-500 horse power is a little unrealistic for doing it cheap, 250-300 is respectable and attainable for a lot cheaper. With everything said and done; new engine, turbo, tune, install you're looking at close to 10-15k. I'm guessing that is not your idea of cheap either.
Check out the FAQ about turbo's in the turbo section. It has this little paragraph which should help you:

D16Y8/D16Z6 - 225whp - 250whp
D15B/D16Y7 - 200whp
B18A1/B18B1 (LS) - 300whp
B16A2/B18C1/B18C5 - 350whp
B20 - 350whp
K20A2 - 350whp - 400whp
F22C - 400whp (Don't count on the stock S2000 rear holding up to that though)
Built with stock sleeves = up to 500whp.
Built with Sleeves - you better know what you're doing by then.

thats wat i was afraid of so if i wanted 350 how much will that cost me??? and wat turbos whould i be loking at??......or wat other parts?

 

You dont need that much to have a fast civic 250 would easily make a civic respectably quick, these cars are not exactly tanks

 

you can go all out and put a 400 big block in there and a huge blower that should do it, just need to get it mounted in there first.

also on a side note like said before i think 400hrp is way over kill for a civic, you dont need much to make them move i have a frankinstien motor in mine its a dx car with a muti port swap a si trans, a d15 block si head and a 94 intake manifold, and she is fast as hell it wil beat just about anything havent raced any V8's though but it would be close i bet and iv even kept up with a 95 talon tsi turbo, he barley beat me, it also helps to have some light rims, and a light car i have a 89 hatchback i prefer the 88-91 honda cause there light has hell and dont take much to make them a rocket...lol
