I recentely bought a brand new LX, and I wana mod it up to 190hp + , what do you reccomend I start out with!

 

do your basics first. is it automatic or stick? take care of your air with cold air intake, headers and exhaust. then throw some better cams and get suspension done because there is no use of having power if you can not get it to the ground. if it is a stick i suggest getting better clutch like stage 3

 

Should have started with an SI... then you would have already been at your power goal for less money then it will take to mod and tune the LX.

Also you do realize you will be voiding your factory warranty? Also you have a lifetime warranty on your exhaust including rust damage. I know I just got my EX, and I am sticking with HFP stuff. I would hold out until your facotry warranty is behind you. It would suck to have something break and them say you voided it.

 

the R18 engines have slightly-ovalized piston bores, which may make aftermarket makers wary offering turbo kits or superchargers for the engine.

i'm not aware of any companies that offer any kits as of right now.

 

i think the intake manifold design may be a deterrant too. the r18 is all about NA performance and emissions reduction.

 

do some serious research about mods before you jump into anything. spend some time figureing out what will and will not void your warranty

 

leave it stock, civics are not race cars.

 

I have nothing against modding a car, but i would never buy a brand new car and imedately mod stuff that would void the warranty on it.

 

No it wont

 

Let me refraise that, i have nothing against modding the car, but not things that could potentially void the warranty. i know i said it wierd the first time, and it gave the wrong impression
