i know this might have been asked before but what is the easiest (and hopefully this falls under the cheapest too) to get my 99 ex civic to 300+ whp and maybe even more later on or is that just wishful thinking need some advise please

 

cheap and reliable......not fast

If you're on a "cheap" budget then you won't make 300hp. It takes deep pockets and a good knowledge of these engines.

It would require a swap and boost.

 

is there an engine i can swap and not have to mess with the internals and boost to 300 whp???

 

If you build your stock d you can make 300whp, probly take about 20psi on a t3/t4. I'm running a B18C1 on stock internals and putting down 300whp, but i feel like i'm walking a fine line. Even with a good tune, i'm stilled worried about blowing the engine. Craigb is right, the more money you spend the more reliable and fast it'll become, the trick is figuring out what corners to cut and by how much.

 

what exactly would i have to do when u say build it up?

 

Forged rods and pistons.

 

i think it would be easier to build your internals on your stock d and turbo it than swapping and turboing it. you can make 300 whp on a stock d if its built right. i will agree with craigb as well, it takes money to build.

 

what is the most hp i can go before i have to mess with the suspension and axles and stuff like that???

 

this may be a stupid question but i wanted to know what some of the other members mean when they say u need to get a tune or save ur money for a good tune?
