Have you ever driven a 500hp car? Do you know what's involved to make a car of that power work the least bit reliabely? Sounds like you're pipe dreaming.

lol...i know, but the kit is built for 500, it's full race, it's made for that. anyways i do want the high rev's so i'll prob go for the GSR or the B16A.

the idea was to start off with around 250 hp, a mustang gt killer but i figure that between the engine swap and the bolt on turbo kit with tuning to make it streetable will be the start, i just wanna build a monster and 500 hp is a nice round number and it's half way from 1000 which is my dream to have one day, a 1000hp car...not a civic cuz that would just be rediculous! and dangerous.

500hp is going to be ridiculous to try and handle. Not to mention, like the other guys said, its going to bea long *** road to get there.

Let me put it this way.

200whp in a Civic is more than a handful, but I hope you're ready to spend some serious money on making 500whp. 5K will probably not be enough to get you there.
