No idea what's available for this car yet.

Got about 4-5K to blow.

Is this possible?

 

$4-5k! Hold off for Stillen or Vortech to make a SC!

 

My window tint added 10hp

 

yeah def hold off if you have that much to blow on it. it'll be worth the wait for sure

 

i was talkin to this kid he said he got 12hp gain from his 'powered by honda' sticker

 

Dude... all you need to do is add VTEC!


[I know it's old, but it's just as funny after seeing it 100 times]

Seriously though... hold out for a supercharger kit!

 

Im loving it lol^^

This is a good one also:
The Civic hatch with nos at the end is priceless

 

Was kinda hoping to stay away for FI. Maybe new exhaust, plenium, cai, etc.

 

in a word.....Nitrous!!!!

 

The engine is already in a high state of tune. there is no way your going to get an extra 20-30 out of exhausts or intakes. You're going to need to go with forced induction

 

I will probably be proven wrong, but IMO there will not be many (if any) cost effective N/A mods for this motor. 88 HP/liter is pretty darn good on pump gas. Sure it could be higher (S2000), but you wouldn't like the torque curve in a heavy car like the G.

About the only thing I can see are maybe some HF cats/testpipes, but then you will need a reflash/piggyback to bring things back in line. Short of more aggressive ignition advance (race gas), this is about it on pump gas for N/A with this car and these cams.

I'm not saying gains won't be possible, but N/A mods generally have poor HP/$ ratios. I believe they will be really poor with this car. The OEM intake and exhaust is really top shelf. I can't believe how hard the car pulls all the way up. It feels like much more than 306. I think it's underrated by 10HP or more.

 

You not gonna feel those 20-30 hp(10% increase) on 300 hp engine. You gotta aim for 100 more, so add few grand and go FI.

 

Wait a bit and get it turbo'd.

 

Exactly what I was thinking....good point.

 

The intake can't be improved on and if you add the POS POP charger setup, you'll completely loose the pressurization effect at speed (-4hp). The intake manifold is a single composite piece so no more spacers or plenum mods. The exhaust manifolds are now true headers and the exhaust is close to a true dual. IMO, it's going to be damn hard to squeeze any additional power out of this new motor. I'd still love to have the car though.

An SC or turbo setup will be tricky do to the additional airbox and plumbing. A tight engine bay has now become even tighter. Almost Audi-like in nature.
