Alright… I have a 1999 Honda CR-V and it's decked out. It's got fog lights, roof racks, shovel and pickaxe racks, black wheels, the whole shabang. The problem: UNDERPOWERED.
I don't understand why they didn't make a V6 model for this car. 4cyl is just not enough for an SUV. SO. What can I do to boost power without damaging the engine? Thoughts on adding a turbo? What else would be good on a 4 cylinder? I'm more familiar with diesel vehicles, so I don't quite know what to add…
Any opinions appreciated! Thanks.
PS. The reason I need more power is… When a car takes 20 or more seconds to get to highway speed.there's a problem. It even becomes a hazard because the ramp for a highway is not that long, and you block traffic getting on. It's quite annoying. And I know it's not just my CR-V, I've driven others and owned others. They are just simply underpowered. I don't want to buy a new car because I've invested so much in this one… But I need something more capable of getting up to speed.
