Cheap HP

turbo would definently be way more expensive if you actually do it right. now if youre just gonna half *** it then sure it will be cheaper but you will be sacrificing reliability.

This is kinda a dumb one, seeing as I'm not sure what they have in newer engines, but if it has a mechanical water pump, get an electric pump. It can give your engine somewhere around 10-12hp and it cools your engine alot better.

Just do a motor swap if you are only looking for 250 HP IMO.

98 civic ex. looking to buy some horses for the motor. i want to start out small and work my way up to a turbo. what should i buy? i already have intake, headers, and exhaust.

k24/h22 swap FTW!

k-series motors are nice but on the pricey side

not sure if anyone realizes but the less expensive b-series swaps, say a b16a, trying to get 250hp n/a takes a shitload of work

you need to research more, you're looking for simple answers to everything and it sounds like you've never worked on a car before, if nothing else you give that impression just by saying headers, or the fact that you have neuspeed suspension although i'd be willing to bet cash you just have springs

Jdm H22a Was Only $1600 Shipped And Thats An Instant 220hp Which If You Know How To Drive Can Make It A Mid 13 Second Car And Still Last 200,000+ Miles.
