I agree, but there's not really enough information here. A bolt-on dsm can equal a to4e turbo making around 400whp. Depends on what you're definition of bolt-on is.

have you been running your mouth like your na 1.8 can eat a 2.0turbo..just cause its a "lightweight" civic. keep dreaming buddy.. its peeps like you that made the "scene" what it is today. sell your honda and get a 240sx so you can get your drift on... this is why "most" dsm tuners..speed freaks in general dont like hondas. not because of the cars, but the drivers. your stockish b18 powered civic is not a drag car..it is a great handling car that can most likely lose the dsm on the twisties.. but its not the fire breathing torque monster you make it out to be.

unless you pour money into your civic its not gonna be fast.. it will be quick at most! the dsm guys seem to be a lil more into the technical end of tuning..most honda tuners think a intake will make you magically fast. im sorry but audible hp is all youre gaining.

the magic answer youre looking for is a homemade turbo or nitrous. either could be had for a few hundred dollars..excluding tuning.. which is your most important formula to being fast. dsm are the sleepiest of the bunch.. the gst/gsx can be a dog or a straight BEAST. u can never underestimate them.. so all you honda "kids" sell your overpriced civics and go bastardize tommorows trend today.

sorry for the rant.. im a ghost that reads this board and i think this is either a stupid post or just worded wrong..
