I have a friend who just bought a used Honda Civic coupe, and he says it has somewhere around 180-190 horsepower, and from what I’ve heard, Civic’s only have about 130 horsepower. I keep telling him that his car does NOT have anywhere near that much, but he’ll bring it up again eventually. So, is he lying and would there even be any way to get a Civic to have 180-190 horsepower (besides getting a turbo/supercharger)?
Also, I would like to have something to say to him that proves that he does not have that much horsepower, so any advice on that would be helpful too.

I have a 1998 Honda civic ex with Everything stock i just odered a short ram intake and i am planning on buying headers, I don’t know what else to get for it i don’t want turbo because every body tells me it won’t be able to handle my engine i think it is a d16Y8 single non vtech so if you can plz help me out and just give me some ideas that will boost some hp and torque to my car…. thnx

i own a 2007 honda civic LX Sedan, with a 1.8 L i-Vtec engine. I want the car to give off a deep performance sound but i do not want to do any major mods like cold air intakes or turbo kits….i want to know if i add a performance muffler without any engine mods will it slow down the performance of my car. or is the 1.8 i-vtec STOCK engine powerful enough to still give off performance with a large muffler. ( the car is an Automatic ) Do Not Want To Change Transmission To Manual.

my brother has a lancer evo 2006 with a turbo, and he recently swapped to a new engine
my question, would that engine be able to fit into a 1998 lx honda civic?
