To keep up to a stock WRX wont take much. Just do they usual I/H/E and that should be enough. But if really want to gain alot of power, increase your displacement. Save up abit more money ontop of your 5000 and do 1.8L or 2.0L LSVTEC + ECU.

What route do you want to take in the future. Go turbo or stay NA. If you wanna stay NA, but still want get heaps of power go engine swap.

its harder than u think. go for a drive in a wrx with someone who knows how to launch them well and then do the same in a b-series civic/crx/integra and u will see. they just lacks the torque that the wrx pulls. not impossible but realistically it is hard.

just my 2 cents

[SLOWEGG]

Of course wrx will own a civic at the launch, AWD vs FWD. Rolling start you will just need minor mods to keep up to a STOCK wrx.

well as i have just started.
i want to do it all in stages
1st stage would be to get all the I/H/E and also an ecu+ tuning
2nd stage i wanted to do work to the head spec b cams and everything to match it
3rd stage i wanted to swap the block with a b20b
4th "if i ever get to it" Jackson supercharger
and i would be done.
but right now im only at the first stage.
and i know its going to be alot of money spent

there are a few relatively stock b18c crx's that are quicker than stock wrx, skyline, v8 etc.

decent engine and light body goes a long way, you dont need to go overboard on mods for it to have decent speed compared to STOCK cars

Yeah I know... I've got a couple of relos with a similar set up in their crx's

Should tune it after all the head work or even your block swape just to save some money on tuning

hmm i doubt it. a stock my03 wrx runs a 5.7sec 0-100 and has 300nm of torque to play with... and if the rex gets any mods itll disappear off into the distance. its definately possible to get an ek4 to keep up its jus not that easy...

however imho, if ur main aim with ur car is to be as fast as a wrx, pouring loads of money into an NA car prob isnt ur best option unless ur really attached to it. if u put that money instead into buying a turbo car (nissan, subaru etc.) then ull have a decent platfrom to start with and getting more power out of it further down the track will be much cheaper and easier. theres only so far u can go with an NA fwd honda...

So much money jst to keep up with a STOCK WRX...
Seriously, spend that 5k elsewhere.
