ok i don't need 200.. i just want faster and more torque than i have now. yeah i know i'll sacrifice some mileage but i want to get no lower than 25 mpg... I would like to do a stock swap and do more things as i go along...
I hear both good and bad about the b20. what would i get horsepower and torque with a b20? and what are the pros and cons of the b20 vs gsr?
Most streetable builds in a Civic stay above 25mpg, as long as you don't drive the crap out of it. I wouldn't worry too much about the gas mileage, if I were you.ok i don't need 200.. i just want faster and more torque than i have now. yeah i know i'll sacrifice some mileage but i want to get no lower than 25 mpg...

normally aspirated.
Normally aspirated and naturally aspirated are two different terminologies for the same thing. Neither are incorrect.By that you mean naturally-aspirated right??
+1 Good call vjfNobody has bothered asking, and they should have since it seems you dont have that much knowledge about cars.....but why is it that you dont want to go turbo?
Learned something new todayNormally aspirated and naturally aspirated are two different terminologies for the same thing. Neither are incorrect.
Build the engine! Then it'll be like new, and it'll be able to handle tasty amounts of boost.I don't want to boost because my engine has 200,000 miles on it i'd rather just have a fresh start and not have to deal with a turbo. lol. I am also just considering getting a 00 SI instead and turbo that. I'm keeping my eyes open for one. once again thank you all for your help
Edit: you can throw a 50 shot on it, get close to 200, and still retain MPGs
They're not the same price at all. Some Eagle rods, Vitara pistons, and ARP head studs all together will run you under $600. There are many D-series motors with just that pushing 250-350 whp.I have not looking into rebuilding my engine... I need to do my research on that. but why rebuild my engine and turbo when i can swap for the same price and turbo that when i'm ready?
Any method of forced induction is going to do pretty much the same thing to your motor (though turbocharging and supercharging are more similar to each other than nitrous). No matter whether you're spraying, belt-driven, or exhaust-driven, it's all going to produce similar wear on your motor. It's about how much power you want to put out and for how long.i do not know much about nitrous but i have searched and most people say it ruins your engine and it would be better to turbo.. thats just what i have read.. tell me if i am wrong.
Not to jack the thread here, but ive been wondering when someone will build a hybrid "hot" car. Something that goes fast and uses the electric motor to make some good torque.Oh go buy a hybrid
