I see this is going nowhere so this is my last comment about the "Coolest Civic Ever".

Actually, with minimal money, you can turn a 4 cylinder civic into a V8 killer

#2 didn`t pay for labor. So maybe before you post rude comments to people assuming that everyone pays someone to work on their car, think before you type...:nono

Show me where I assumed someone else did the work.

There isn`t one V8 that can even keep up with him, nor any 6 cylinders like supras in my area that can do it either. Plus it`s more reliable than most american cars are stock lol.

Im sorry for the comment regarding this post but I find little truth to that statement.

Uhh, first you said "with minimal money, you can turn a 4 cylinder civic into a V8 killer with even a small turbo, or a simple bolt on supercharger"...but that your friend buys parts at cost and pays no labor. All the while you even admit you have no idea what it takes to get that kind of power. Building any 4 cylinder engine to 500+ HP definitely costs a LOT of money...and seeing as it`s a honda engine not made for boost, it seems even less likely, since it would take a lot of boost (that a "small turbo" couldn`t provide to begin with) that the aluminum block can`t handle. If it was that easy and cheap Honda wouldn`t be making mass market econobox grocery getters.

A B18C is already $3k so you can stop right there

Well you weren`t clear on why you called me a liar, but this isn`t so if you own your own shop and can either get a high milage B18c motor and rebuild it or buy it cheaply because you can get a special price for being a whoelsaler . We`ll pick this up another time in a post about 500HP+ Civics
