Having built my fair share of race motors, your going to need more then just A PART. I assume you’re a young pup who is looking to show you stuff on the streets. While this is not my thing and I think you should spend a lot of time on the track I'll give you some help here. It's going to cost money and time to get what you are looking for. There are a lot of tuning sites out there that will tell you how to get the biggest bang for your dollar. My experience is in V6 and V8 motors on the classic cars. But the internal parts are all the same. Any internal parts you change May (and most often) require a modification to the Computer in the car. So I would check with a lot of the tuning sites and see what you can do with out changing the computer. Some good kick of points that are cost effective are replacement of the air induction system and exhaust system. The more air you move in to the motor the better it will perform. These can offer up to a 50 HP gain on the car. You never mentioned if you have a stick or an auto. If you have an automatic a higher stall speed on the Torque converter will allow for a better launch and should not require a change to the computer. Most factory converters will have a 1500 -1800 stall (the stall speed is where the motor will rev before the converter locks up and starts to apply power to the wheels.) In most the racers I build that are autos I put in 3300 to 3500 stall converters. This allows the motor to hit the wheels at the start or middle of the power band. If you have a stick this does not matter because you can rev and dump at your discretions. If changing the intake and the exhaust does not make you happy then you need to look at changing the inside of the motor. I would look at maga fluxing the head first before you do anything to it. If you detect cracks opt for that Hi-Performance head. If the head looks good on the flux then port and polish the head. This allows the air to enter and exit the engine better and faster then factory. Open up the valves about 1/8 to a 1/4 inch and go with a better cam and springs. (These changes often yield about a 30 to 75 HP change in the motor) if that is still not enough look at changing the pistons and the crank. Steel cranks allow a higher rev, are lighter then the cast and allow for better balancing to be done to the motor. Changing the compression on the pistons will allow more power and a better burn on the fuel but will also require a higher octane at the pump. If you like nitrous you will need to have the factory head bolts removed and new bolts installed. (If this is not done you can and often will bolt the head right off the motor.) It is also recommended to not run a high compression motor with nitrous as you will have a pinging issue and possibly blow the whole motor up. I have seen a lot of NA (Normally Aspirated) Honda, Geos, Neon’s, and Mazda’s blow the doors of nitrous injected cars when they have the motors and trannys built with the correct combination of compression, cam, and tranny. (A friend of mine races (Drags) a 99 neon 2.0 and turns an 8.35 at the track with out nitrous.) I know I have mentioned a lot here but it’s just to give you an idea and some knowledge about what you can do. Research is the best resource. Find your target budget and start building. Then work of that. It will take some time but soon you will have a car that will run well and compete at the level you want.

there is a lot you could do, cold air intake, MSD, new fuel rail, fuel regulator, throttle body, valve job, bore out your cylinders, bigger pistons for higher compression, superchrger if you want instant power with no lag, there are nitrous kits that'll spray only when you hit full accelerator and shut off when you let off the gas (full throttle really is the only time i believe you should use nitrous) Overall you could put about 10,000 into a motor really quick. The question is...Do you want to invest the money into this car to make it quick, or do you want to invest the money into a new car which is already quick. The new car will still have room for upgrades where as your old car will be tuned to the max. Food for thought. I love prodject cars! in the end, you made it quick not some dealer. Best of luck

Forced induction or a nitrous kit. Thats the only way to make alot more power. bolt ons don't do very much on a honda civic.

Hondas lend themselves to that kind of a makeover. There are a lot of things you can do, turbo-charge, nitrous oxide, new headers, different exhaust, changing the computer chip and so on. None of that is bolt-on, you really have to know what you are doing. Any change you make to increase performance will decrease your gas mileage and the lifespan of your engine. Is that really what you want to do?

Greetings. My name's Sanjay Patel, and I currently hold an honorary Master's degree in the field of Computer Science. I am aware of, and have personal knowledge related to your question. There are computer maintenance businesses which are probably in your area, however they come at the cost of hiring a professional to enter your home. There may also be some local destinations where you can drop off your computer and wait to have a technician look at it. These options can often be costly, and pretty inconvenient. The answer to this question can probably be found doing a little extra research on Google.
A well-running computer can be a hard thing to maintain. From my experience, there is but only One software which is reputable- and consistently reliable for healing sick, slow computers. Reimage™ is a world-renown, easy to use software designed by Forensic scientists and made for the average person. This thing will fix literally just about ANY problem you could possibly be having with your PC. Reimage was recommended to me by a Professor during my 2nd year of Graduate school.

How about a new car instead of a new engine? Sounds like the expensive 350z or Infiniti G35 would be right up your alley.
You don't mention the car that you have, and my guess is you aren't going to be able to turn your donkey into a race horse without spending some $$$.
Seriously, my suggestion would be to find a car with the performance you ae looking for at a price you can afford.

you dont just slap stuff on engines, i mean you can exhaust, nitrous and stuff but if you want a truly fast car you need to start with the engine itself cams, lifters, bluprinting start from the inside out

RE:
how do you make a car faster? HELP ME!!!!!?
What part do i need to put in the engine, (a part not a new engine) to make the acceleration go alot faster? Like right when i put my foot on the gas it guns quickly. like the 350z or the infiniti g35. You put your foot on the gas and that **** is quick right on the spot. some one please help me!!!!

You could try going for a turbo or supercharged engine preparation, always paying atention to the size of things and not going over the top with pressure so that you don't blow your pistons, cams, etc. That would include the compressor, new intake and exaust pipes, probably new (forged) pistons and cams, higher camshaft (depending on the amount of pressure) remmaped ICU, new injection heads, and the list goes on. It all depends on how much money you want to spend.
