Question Powwww-eererrrr...

what up fellow members....

I was wondering what performance
parts can make my CX stock engine go faster...
& won't make me bankrupt? Like stuff that
i could upgrade.

Now I know any1 is going to suggest
saving up and get a motor, but it will take 4ever.

Is there any other alternative route
to gain a little more power?
I really feel like there's no
potential for this stock engine
to perform much, but any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated..!

Right now my engine is
stock with the basic bolt-ons...
full cat-back exhaust, headers,
intake, suspension, and sway bars..

Thanks in advance
cheers

Vtec head, b18A or B18B rods, ZC pistons, cam, etc, etc...

What's the topic dude? I just wanna go faster? :P
$3000? If you can find a cheap/used turbo kit for that price then get that. Mind you for that price you'll probably get no FMIC, and some shanty *** piping

What mods do you have done to the car already? What motor?

Is Nitrous an option for you?

Need more info - plus put a topic.

or if you don't want to spend all of that we have a great group buy on for SOHC turbos right now

Such thing as A turbo kit 4 non-Vtec engine?

Questions
1. is there such turbo kit for non-Vtec engines?

2. How much faster would you be going running on a turbo kit for a SOHC compared to a DOHC?

I would go the route of the turbo g/b that's posted.

Trust me, you won't regret it

A mild 5psi and you'll add approx. 50hp.
