I have a 2004 Honda Civic that looks great on the outside (tinted windows, nice wheels, etc). Problem is, it doesn't have the performance to match. What will give me the most horsepower increase for my buck? Turbo charger? Chip? Other ideas?
you could put a turbo on it, but that will cost you in the $5000 range, for a 75-100HP gain... and if its not a stick shift thats not even worth it because it will take no time to kill that auto tranny. Also that puts some undue strain on the motor as well. dont nitrous it unless you are willing to build the motor up a bit as that causes more stresses than any other and its only a temporary boost of power. There are many things that can be done to the engine internals i.e. the chip you are talking about for a bit of a gain in power too. Dont fall for the cheapo "performance" chips on ebay though because they dont do anything.
That is a tough question to answer given we dont know what kind of power you are looking for and what kind of driving you want to use the power for.
