TheBigCarp321 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I have a 127 hp 2005 civic, how would i go about upgrading it to get 2 about 160hp or more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUSN Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Engine swap? A "B" series swap, every one but the non vtec B18's is at least 160 HP. Or, lots of mods, intake, header, exhaust, cams, cam gears, throttle bodies, intake manifold, internals, valves, fuel systems...etc.... Or throw a supercharger or trubo on your car. A shot of Nos maybe? I think that about covers as for upgrading. "Search" is your friend too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigCarp321 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 What would you recommend as a supercharger, how does it work? Whats the cost? It is automatic, can I add turbo in an automatic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUSN Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Well, the only superchargers I really know of are the Jackson Racing Superchargers, and the Vortech Superchargers. I dont know about used, but for the JRSC your looking at at least 2000 for pretty good gains all throughout the powerband, not to mention its 50 state legal so you dont have to worry about a fix-it ticket. I cant say much on the VSC, but all I do know about it, it offers alot of power from it, but is pretty expensive. And a supercharger is slightly like a turbo, though instead of using exhaust gas to spin a turbine it uses a pulley conected to the engine, I think on the crank pulley, not 100% sure on that one. Of which that pully spins a fan that sucks alot more air into your engine. So theres virtually no lag because its running off your engine rather than exhaust gas. I dont know all the technical stuff, as my description is probally wrong in some areas. And yes they will work with you having a auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 You can't swap a B into a 01+. Sell the car, it is too heavy to mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rone811 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hey Big, I own the same car you do and I know the feeling because when I bought my car I thought wooo... what can I do to make it better. It sucks you know when you check out www.honda.com and go to the acura side of it they hook em up with side skirts, rims, good hp engine, but not honda. So what I say is that you check out ebay/motors.com for some insight on what you would like your car to look like, or on what to mod it with. My honda's black by the way. Anyways new halo lights just came out for the 2005 there's body kits, rimz, headers, foglights - as i noticed your missing those (me too) and i'd suggest h.i.d. to top it off. How's that exhaust working for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigCarp321 Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Its goin good, but I notice everytime I turn left i hear a vibrating noise from the back of the car. Any ideas what that could be? The muffler isnt rubbing up against the car either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellyeah!! Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 grab onto your muffler and see if you can shake it side to side (you should be able to) because your exhaust is held on with rubber grommet kind of things it can move from side to side. it is vibrating because when you turn left it is just barely touching your bumper and causing a loud vibrating noise. my buddys car also does that.

TheBigCarp321 Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 you really have to work at it to make it move from side to side. i find it hard to believe but maybe ill have someone drive it into a turn and stand behind it just to make sure. ty for your input.

Rone811 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I would have it checked out at the honda dealership while the car is still new. Have them take a look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rone811 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 What are you using as an auxiliry? What kinds of things can i plug up in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigCarp321 Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 What do you mean an auxiliry, i did find out what the vibe was though it is rubbing up against it, im gonna try and find something fireproof to attach to the underside of the car so it doesnt make that noise anymore.
