-- Posted by iconoclast at 8:38 pm on June 20, 2008 alright, im not some ricer douche and i hate those faggots, but id like to know if i could bump up my horsepower by 10-15% or so without hurting mileage or voiding the warranty its an 06 civic coupe, auto if not, then fuck this topic i dont really care that much -- Posted by iconoclast at 8:38 pm on June 20, 2008 and i really know fuck all about car parts haha -- Posted by Pasquatch at 8:39 pm on June 20, 2008 I'm pretty sure there's stuff you can put in your gas tank that's supposed to get the most out of your octane. -- Posted by ss454 at 8:40 pm on June 20, 2008 Not much you can do for that much power without hurting some part of your warranty....waiting for hinshawwrx to correct me here... -- Posted by Romesds at 8:40 pm on June 20, 2008 well most stuff will ether hurt mileage or void warranty here is some stuff tho CAI, Chipping it, exhaust, and higher quality fuel, but you have an auto civic don't worry u will be considered a ricer they only have a 1.6 motor its to small to make fast just enjoy the fuel economy -- Posted by ss454 at 8:40 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from Pasquatch at 11:39 pm on June 20, 2008 I'm pretty sure there's stuff you can put in your gas tank that's supposed to get the most out of your octane. That will barely do shit -- Posted by iconoclast at 8:43 pm on June 20, 2008 i drive it primarily for the fuel economy anyway, decent speed and good maneuverability dont hurt though if it voids the warranty fuck it, and i dont think id put money into it after its over anyway, because im probably going to just sell it then anyway warranty is up in sep. 2013 -- Posted by iconoclast at 8:44 pm on June 20, 2008 what about a better air filter though -- Posted by ss454 at 8:45 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from prisoner of hss at 11:44 pm on June 20, 2008 what about a better air filter though that wouldn't give you too much but it'd give better throttle response -- Posted by iconoclast at 8:46 pm on June 20, 2008 what does a good one run typically im willing to blow a few hundred bucks but most of my money from my job is going into savings and investments -- Posted by civicwithn0s at 8:47 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from prisoner of hss at 8:44 pm on June 20, 2008 what about a better air filter though It's a good starting point but in the big picture, it won't gain you but one or two horsepower.. You won't be able to feel it. K20 swap? :) -- Posted by civicwithn0s at 8:47 pm on June 20, 2008 Look up at knfilters.com for your model year. -- Posted by iconoclast at 8:48 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from civicwithn0s at 11:47 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from prisoner of hss at 8:44 pm on June 20, 2008 what about a better air filter though It's a good starting point but in the big picture, it won't gain you but one or two horsepower..

Higher quality fuel won't see any gains, especially if your meaning jump up octane. 1.6 civics can be ricers, its not hard to rice a car. SS454 and Prisoner, the only way a part can void your warranty is if THAT part is the cause of the warranty claim. Look up the Magnuson Moss Warranty act. With that said, a CAI can gain you about 4-5whp. Full exhaust will give about 10. Unless you go all out, you won't gain a whole lot -- Posted by iconoclast at 9:27 pm on June 20, 2008 meh forget it then guys, thanks for your help though ill just get something with a bit more oomph when the warranty runs out
