Show me how you can make 300WHP with 2-3K. And unless you have slicks your not getting of the line. Any honda enthusiast
will know how our 8thgens aren't to responsive to modifications with out tuning, your looking at around 4K for a supercharger that will give you that amount of boost plus around 600ish to tune and assuming you can't install it thats another 500-1000$ at least. Not to mention the basic bolt ons you would have to have to make use of the supercharger. Then you'll have a 300WHP car that blows the tires off unless its got slicks on it. So I'm assuming the OP doesn't reccomend the car because his civic accelerates better with a S/C on it? Last edited by ricetastic; 05-30-2009 at 07:37 PM. |

only way you have to pay for tuning with the supercharger is if you go the flashpro route and want to tune it your self. |

The evo X factory tune is horrible. A tune by itself nets you 40-50 whp. A drop in filter gets you about 20 by itself. It's ridiculous. The factory tune runs super rich, adding some air to the mix gets you crazy power. You get 350 with turboback exhaust, a drop in, and a tune. So don't get it twisted, nobody buys an evo and runs the factory tune. I'd run a supercharged SI any day and I would win.
You put 8K in an SI and get 300 WHP. You put 8K in an evo........ |

It's just a completely different car with that tune bro. I was shocked. That drop off after 5k disappears and you can rev the hell out of it and hold boost til 7500. I'm talking no mods at all, just the tune.

I will say the SI is way more fun to drive. It's more nimble, shifts and steers smoother, and feels light. Driving the EVO is like pulling an 8 hour shift at in construction compared to driving the SI.
