I want more power, reliably, I dont track or race. I just want to make the jdm girls panties wet when I Vrmmmmpsh!

 

If you want to make girl's panties wet, you can do that just fine w/ a stock motor because they can't really tell. Even a Civic that goes 120+mph will *seem* fast to them. What makes their panties wet is how you drive, not how fast.

But if you want a no-brainer reliable setup: Stillen or HKS superchargers.

Then after you spent all your money and get a ride in your friend's twin turbo setup (also on a stock motor) you're going to be kicking yourself in the ***** and wondered why you didn't go this route to begin with.

And then after you sell your supercharger kit and get your twins, you're going to wonder what happened to all your money?

And then once all ur money goes away and you have your usual "twin turbo gremlins" you're going to tell yourself... "fawk! I spent all this money and then now I have check engine lights."

Then the next year you're going to be hunting down random Gremlins that appear here and there (mostly small) but definitely annoying enough to get your attention that you'll either hit 1 of 2 road blocks.

1. Get sick and tired of finding misc small stuff and get tired of keeping up with the extra maintenance items (which isn't much, but to someone who didn't do their homework and expect adding an extra 100+ WHP to a car that wasn't designed to be FI'd in the first place and expect it to run for 200k miles w/o problems would be disappointing, aka unrealistic) Then end up selling it.

2. Ran it too hard and a rod snapped, then you're looking at built motor costs and installations which can go anywhere between 15 to 20k. After realizing how much it costs, you either part out and sell or get a 2nd car because a build takes a long azz time.


And after that's all said and done, you have to remember to have a goal, and stick to it. If you get a charger, make sure you never tempt yourself into getting a turbo. If you get a turbo, make sure you have a lot of money saved up *just in case* something does happen. In the FI world, you never really know!
