How can i make my gsr civic faster?

Question

i have a 95 civic coupe with a gsr swap in it and i want some tips on how to make it faster cause its kind of slow, is it becuase i got a p28 ecu in it?

Answer 1

Rice doesn't make power! Get a real car with a V-8! The fast and the furious was just a movie, get over it!

Answer 2

That depends on how much money you're willing to spend.  You can turbo charge it but that will cost quite a bit of money.

If you don't have that much to spend, add some bolt-on's such as a cold air intake, header, cat-back exhaust.

Putting your car on a diet always works well as well.  Gut as much of the interior as you feel comfortable doing.

Answer 3

Put the right ECU in it first. Then you could stip the backseat and quarter panels off to save weight or turbo it.

Answer 4

civic is a SLOW A$$ CAR. don't race with it or u'll get pwned!  

Answer 5

First of all you are going to need to get the P72 ECU, that is matched with the B18c1. I'm pretty sure that ECU is for the 1.6 liter. So basically your running lean. Once you get that then start doing upgrades. Since you have a GS-R motor in a civic i'm gonna assume you already have basic bolt ons. Exhaust, Intake, Headers, stuff like that. I would recommend a nice skunk2 intake manifold, possibly some cams, different clutch, a CTR (Civic Type-R) Pulley is a great way to get some power and drop some weight if you can deal with no a/c or power steering. But your gonna notice a hug difference as soon as you get the correct ECU!
