Hey guys, I have an '06 manual tC with the TRD exhaust kit, and nothing more! And I want to start modding
I'm looking for some more power, originally I was going to go with I/H/E and just add various things, pulleys, etc... After seeing the S/C was down to about 1900 shipped, I started thinking about saving up. Now, I'm 18 and pretty much living on my own (not too great "at-home" situation lol) but I work alot.
It also seems like you don't really achieve much with just I/H/E set-up and staying N/A. I want to hit / go over 200whp eventually.
I don't know what I'll need for the supercharger, if anything besides the kit. I also don't know cars real well, so I'll probably have to have a dealer install it.
What I'm wondering is if it's worth it to get the S/C first then upgrade I/H/E later. I want real power basically, but I don't have the time/energy/knowledge to turbo. (Or the money, lol).
I have gathered that if you really want to compete, you're going to need to turbo or at least S/C your tC... and I want to compete. =P
I'm looking for it to be a daily driver, but I also encounter alot of Civic Si's, Integra GSR's, Honda Accords, and other various "ricer" cars. Lol. I wanna smoke em or at least beat em. I don't plan to run 1/4 any time soon, just some local street races / highway races.
Thanks for any info!
