Horse Power adders

UMR Racer · Post by **UMR Racer** » Sun Nov 18, 2007 10:11 pm

I just want to know what other bolt on things I could do to my car to add some horsepower. I have cold air intake and chipped ECU and I'm thinking about getting headers and a high flow cat any other suggestions. Also the the welds on my exhaust to cat connection broke this week going into a parking lot and I really like the sound and i wanted to know if anyone knows if someone makes a cutout for civics or am I going to have to make one.

Thanks

ok well its a header not headers. Also what engine do you have?

For quick power and quite a bit... throw on a turbo. They are fun, when everything works well together.

what engine/car/etc.

also, UMR...an engineering school...and you have to ask us?

just messing with ya...I know that not everyone knows about cars. Seriously though, we need more information if you want realistic useable answers.

Sorry about asking questions in a forum if your going to an ass about it dont reply. For people helping its a 1994 Civic EX with D16 engine. About the school question, they don't teach you much of substance its more critical thinking training and on the formula car team I deal most with composites and drive train stuff not engine. Also how much would a turbo set up cost and how much would that take off of the longevity of the car at say 6psi if the car has 160 thousand miles.

think of your engine as a glorified air pump the easier air goes in and comes out the more efficient the air pump and the more power it will produce. so take that and run with it wether it be an air intake, header, exhaust or a turbo they will all add power some more than others. also look into parasitic losses like a/c, power steering, losing some weight wouldnt hurt either...
