im ethan i have a 97 honda civic HX and ive got a cool air intake and a exaust but i wondering what else i could add for cheap to give me a good gain n power

 

the only real cheap thing to give you a good gain would be nitrous, and that still costs around 500-600 dollars for a kit, and i would no go past a 50 shot with a stock engine.

 

Pick 2.

Fast Cheap Reliable


Going really cheap on parts will cost you even more in the long run. Nitrous will get u decent hp for 5-600 but you really need a tune too......which costs money, but you also need something you CAN tune, like a piggyback or a chipped ECU......which costs even more money.

 

well when i say cheap i mean what is a cheap way to get to gain power and speed .....see i dont know about nos because once again a stock engine that wood wear down .

 

 

your next step should probably be a header. but like they said, going too cheap isnt going to get you far. especially with a header. the power doesnt come from "having a header." it comes from the increased flow from having a good header. dont cheap out. you shouldnt really spend less than $250 on a new header, and you should stick to good brands, like DC Sports or Greddy. Be careful on ebay, theres a lot of misleading stuff on there.

 

i might sound like a dumb *** but how much wood a turbo cost? and could my stock engine take it?

 

Judging by your experience, its going to cost you 3-4k including install.

 

your engine is a type r right? Thats what it says on your car anyway but I have to ask anyways, just in case.

 

its a type S

ok i posted this then i got to thinking i belive i am going to get a new cool air intake and exaust first then maybe headers and maybe if u guys think my car can handle it a turbo but first what is a great relible but not so expensive intake and exaust?
