If it does measure to the cranks then its about right

 

It measures at the wheels.

What's the deal? You have been pretty negative lately. I got 10 Hp with the addition of my cat-back before I boosted. That's an 8% increase in Hp for $140 and a couple of bolts.

 

After my turbo was done, I threw on a Magnaflow Cat-Back. Wow, that was some bolted on power. I guess thats different though. As for NA stock civics, the whole word "Bolt on" has really become exhausted. These kids thing a trip to Pep Boys and the 40$ APC intake will add 20 horsepower to the wheels. Try again.


As for DJ. He has a 5 speed tranny, so thats 15% power loss due to drivetrain. So say hes got 137 hp after his mods, hes going to lose 20.55 horsepower through the drivetrain. So hed be at 116.45WHP.

 

what year is your civic? and what model?

 

I dont mean to be negative, just truthfull. Bolt ons on a civic mainly serve to add better response not raw power or tq

 

i agree. an exhaust on a 7th gen civic isnt gunna add 10 hp

 

Yea I dont mean to come off like an ***, sorry guys.

 

I didn't mean to imply that you were being an ***.

90% of people on here will never get past bolt-ons, and I dont' want to discourage them from modding.

If you want to be truthful, there is a naturally aspirated D series in Canada running 12.6's with 150Hp. 150 is do-able without breaking into the bottom end.

 

No 150whp is not do-able without opening the bottom end. Sorry.

 

As for the 90% on never going past bolt-ons. I cant say that I blame them it would be in there best interest. My prelude that I just sold I loved that car for a couple years then last year we built the motor up and went with a t3/t4 turbonetics F/I and I had nothing but hate for that car. I ran some good drag stripe time but most of the time it was at the house broke. We was able to get 403hp out of it on one good day. Most of the time it was 397hp
