errrrr.....
it depends how big of a turbo you can fit under the food,
how much reinforcement can be done to your engine
and chassis modification...

you should do a little research before asking a Q like this.
go on a drag forum and you'll find ur answer in detail.

1600hp civic.
But in all reality you cant really call it a civic. It a RWd drive drag car tha thas a nsx engine with 2 turbos probably the size of basketballs.
There is no end to how much you can modify a car. You just eventually run out of cash.

The amount of tuning you can put into your engine depends on how strong the engine is. If you tune the engine too much, it will eventually break after a short amount of time/distance.

Ditto that. The amounts of mods that can be done more or less depends on how deep your wallet is. But be careful that u dont't just stick a turbo and that's it. Other reinforcement needs to be done for the car and engine to esnure that it can handle the extra grunt. I was once saw a 180sx(240sx in the states) blow its engine because it was modified carelessly

1000+hp is meant for drag racing.But its the only race they can race.If they were to be competed in a drift race,i doubt there would be any driver in this world that can perfectly control it.

In fact...if u can get a car up to 700+hp it'll be perfectly nice for drift.

you can do a quick search on google for 4000 hp type r and quickly see that the only limit to how much you can modify a car is money

It depends how well built you car's engine is. No matter what though, no mass-production car will be able to be tuned more than 1000hp.

MMM :mad:......some people around here think that im stupid or just a kid....:eek:
I ask the question in a WRONG way......of course its obvious that the limit to modify a car is the $$$$ but im talking about without change the engine block or something like that
for example......some engine can support more HP than others.......
the Supra can handle 900hp.....but the EVo can handle max 700HP...without CHANGE the engine block......
after 1000HP that's drag racing car...not street legal.....and always need a upgrade to the engine block....
I know that around here....you can see a honda civic that can handle 1,600HP......but when you see inside the engine...you see a 4.0L engine......of course not the usually 1.6 or 2.0L of the honda civic...im not ignorant :mad:

Yeah, that's about a 900-850hp gain. I said 1000hp gain.

John Shepard has a 1991 Eagle Talon, with a little over 1000hp, on a 2 liter 4g63. He also, on a slight occasion, use it on the street as a daily driver, so not all 1000hp monsters are track cars!:D

This ranks as one of the stupidest threads I have ever read.

No you didn't, you said tuned over 1000hp.
