To answer your question, alot of money, development, testing, research and enginneering. Now ask yourself this question. How do I want to become faster for straight speed, and grip track? You can't have a 7 second Prelude on a quarter-mile track and run a five minute lap time at Nuerburgring Nordschleife (20.8km world famous race track located in Germany). Your question is easy to answer for all the "ill trained" speed freaks. Go buy a magizine or jump online, buy parts you know nothing about. You did however buy them because it says "20 hp gain." Then comes the hard part on installing them yourself which you most likely dont know how to do because you dont know anything about exothermic reaction. The scene of "street racing" was forged entirely around individualisim of having a faster car. But when the market is littered with a cost aware culture for fashion this market you call "street racing" if it continues its path, a turbo kit for any Honda engine will probally be on located in isle 5 at your local walmart store. You say you love to street race, I say you love to be a poser. Just like skateboarding. You can wear your Billibong shirt and Vans shoes as you carry a skateboard around trying to be noticed as what your trying to be. The kid who spent his time learning more tricks dressed in hand-me-downs just put you in your place because he practiced, developed and tested new and old tricks. Same thing goes with the street racing world too. You can have the HKS Turbo kit that you paid eight grand four, but you still know nothing about what it really does. While the guy that just beat you built his entirely in a shop and only spent a fraction of what you pay for for several fill-ups at the pump. You say you need to make your car go faster and you need help finding parts? Don't buy the parts magizine, go walking around your bookstore and buy a book telling you of the history of the internal combustion engines and how to properly accelerate the performance of the very motor. Do you own work. Or be like every ricer. Just remember, for every 60 ricer owned cars, theres actually one car that was really customized with innovative thinking that pulled away from modern "idioticy".Simpally, there are alot of parts that people sweat and bleed to produce into an amazing part for performance. Marketeers, and you are their market. You will buy performance parts off ebay and when on the street call yourself unique and cool? Even if you bend your own piping your putting yourself away from the threshold name branders have. Doing your own labor, and know what your doing and why your doing it again is your own ablility over most ricers. But just off why I can hear, you are, very clearly, a ricer.
