I've had my tc for a year now and i'm ready to start doin engine mods. i was thinking start with headers and exhaust, then cold air intake, then some kinda ecu. what should i do to make my tc quick and in what order?

 

save up all that money down for new car

 

what are you saying? dont do anything at all?

 

it will take alot of money to make the tc fast.

 

Get 4 Turbonators (http://www.turbonator.com/) and a bunch of decals.


chicks dig decals.

 

ALOT!

 

^ what are you talking about? The turbos are killing Z's and mustangs ... I think thats pretty quick.

My s/c tc has around 235whp - its decently quick.

 

i still say he should get decals. lots of 'em.

 

Man you guys are rough!

Prityboi03, how quick do you want to be? How much do want to spend?

A decent turbo setup is going to run $3,500 and up.
Bolt on mods like intake, header, and ehaust really won't give you too much power.

Also, read this:

It has some good info.

 

Ok guys. . . . he's asking for some help, and politley I may ad.

You can do some mods that will be "fun mods" as I call them. CAI, Exhaust, Headers etc. May give you a small gain but nothing you will really feel by "butt dyno" standards. If you want a noticeable amount of power s/c or even better turbo charge it. Although be prepared to spend 4-6k.

Just depends on what your end goal in mind is?

^ agreed.

 

i'm honestly not trying to be the fastest thing around i just want to make people especially these civic drivers to think twice about messin with me on the road

 

how much do you want to spend?

 

Hmmm...you should already be quicker than a lot of Civics

 

Hmmmm.....well you should just let them low buy you and see you grinning.....why? Well you know because you paid less and got a sunroof....front and rear FTW!, Bigger alloy wheels, way better amenities, better audio...oh the list goes on and on.

OR

If you really want to scare them just slap a big ol butt wing on the back!



Seriousley though, go turbo my friend...it will void your warranty but it will embarass about 98% of the civis that try and race you.

 

yeah i am already quicker than alot of civics its just when people see me, random people, they automatically pull up and try to race me. i wanna be able to blow these people out the water! i'll probably spend 2k over time maybe more

 

i acually was looking at that supercharger then i thought 40hp for 4k... i dont think so. i wanna get up to about 200 maybe 225hp

 

Two grand won't buy a whole lot of speed.

 

Eh, save the 2k and go buy some hot looking wheels, then go get a hot looking woman for the passenger seat.

NOW WE'RE TALKIN'!

 

Preach on brother! :D

It doen't matter how slow your car is if you've got a hot lady in the passenger seat.
