I have just purchased a black 2.4 ss 2 door 5sp. Current mods are GM intake and catback. Problem is, it isn't for fulling my need for speed as my old 07 civic si was( It was totaled :0 What are some performance upgrades to speed this thing up. My ultimate goal is 240hp, is this possible?

 

yes, with a supercharger or turbocharger kit but not just with simple bolt ons.

 

what hp range can I be in with just bolt ons?

 

Probably around 180whp give or take. Alot would ride on the tuning.

 

if you do full bolt ons tune, you can do full build with a port and polish job, cams.

however your gold reallly depends on how you want to do it.. you can do it easily do it with a 75 shot of nitrous as well as all bolt ons and a tune.

you can do it easily with a SC or turbo... and get some big numbers with a built motor and that route...

hahn has their LE5 2.4 L ( same motor as the ss you're getting) solstice at about 408 HP on a stock motor...

and as far as your need for speed... less you had bolt ons and such they're pretty close speed wise .

but yes your goal is possible it depends on how hard core you wanna go with this

yes with full bolt ons and a tune you'll be running at about 180WHP or maybe a bit more or less depending on how awesome your tune is

 

A turbo just bolts on....

 

lol nah it doesn't... you have to tap the block and ****...

now a SC on the other hand... like the procharger... thats just a few bolts and piping placements and go

 

Picky picky picky

I was going to suggest the 1 day rwd swap.

 

What is that and how do I do it??????

 

hehe hey that is a bolt on.... after you build everything up... then you just BOLT ON the body panels and go

haha man you don't want to know... no offense but if you're asking the question you don't even want to fathom attempting it right victory

 

Stage 6 That Bia!!!!
after you get a supercharger of course....

 

That's so very true.
To the OP, take a lot of time to research and search some more before modding.

 

s/c bolts on as well...boost it baby!

 

The blower swap from the 2.0 puts you where you want to be HP wise.

 

^^^^yup

 

right on. same car as i just bought and im working towards the same goal. good luck with the SS bro. how did the intake and catback work performance wise? was there much gain?

 

Thats funny. Cause I have been taking out 06-07 Civic Si's. Easy too. I thought they were gonna be more trouble. Two were stock. One had intake and exhaust.

All the bolt on will def get 200 crank HP. For 240hp. Turbo. Thats in my future.
