So basically all major parts are out of the way and hes getting that for around 1000. then he needs a manifold.... and a good tune and hes ready for roll. He tells me that all he wants is 200whp so for a few months at least i know he will be content.

i would say go k swap if he had aound 8-10 g's lieing around but because we ar eboth full time students and dont have 10 grand hes decided to go boost.

Oh, that's good deal then. Boost away then.

maybe just the engine, but it cost a lot more than that to do a k-swap in a 7thgen. I've done my research on it many times. I've asked numerous people on 7thgencivics, and they all come out with higher numbers than 2-3 grand.

If you really want to boost, use the AFC hack. It isn't an ideal method for tuning your car, but it will get the job done. And if he will be content with 200hp, then you wont be needing a full standalone.

at least 3 grand for a motor legit from a wholesaler... mounts... labour... fuel rail... exhaust manifold etc etc etc it gets pricey after all is said and done.
