Honda Civic EX 96'

if you were given a honda civic ex 96' stock. what would be the first thing you did to it to make it have more RPMs and make it go faster.

Honestly just sell it.

I would search and read up on the b18c1 swap.

h22a

h22a
DOOD WTF IS WRONG WITH YOUR SIG

thats fucked up

K20.......want one???

That's a broad question. I think the most cost effective thing would be to do a swap. Then modify that engine. Don't waste the money modding a d series.

d series does have potential though......w/ bottom end modification and BOOST

my honda civic ex 96' is lowered with a k&N short ram intake on it

how much would it be to swap the engine and what type of engine should i get and im saying i want a fast car.

If you want a fast car, you'll have to do more than just an engine swap. An engine swap, build the engine, and turbo would be your best bet. Otherwise a K20 would be your best bet (then h22a, then ITR, then GS-R, etc). The cost will completely depend on what engine you go with and what you do to it. Figure out a budget (a real budget, none of that "well I think I might be able to spend $10K" crap), and figure out some reasonable power goals (400whp isn't going to happen for $5K).

just know that w/e you pick, power doesn't come cheap and there are no ways around spneding a good chunk of change. Your best bet is to swap and boost if you're not happy w/ the power that the new engine has. A b18c1 swap and boost is going to cost $6-7k+ for a good engine and a turbo set up....and that's on a stock engine.

As soon as you know what you what and the budget you have, then we'll talk

ight well i got around 2000 and i dont want to do an engine swap rite now what modifications should i buy to gain hp or what would be my best option.

Greddy turbo kit would be the best bang for the buck as far as factory mods....you could build a DIY turbo kit and see some pretty big hp gains...

since your on that low of a budget save some more money strengthen your internals and turbo...

on a D, you can make up to 220whp before needing to worry about internal mods.....get the Greddy or a DIY turbo kit and you'll be good and you won't break the bank.

just use spray and when you blow the d just drop another and keep spraying

And then sooner or later you'll have spent enough $ that could have gone towards a turbo kit.

do what schister said turbo the damn thing it is a lot cheaper than a engine swap and you can gain huge power from it. plus it's cheaper.

See everyone agrees...im' always right!! :p

check out www.turbod16.com www.homemadeturbo.com and www.honda-tech.com

you should be able to get all fo the info you need from those sites and AF.....turbo D16 is going to have the most info for you!!

to answer the original question. for more rpm. chip the ecu witha skunk 2 program. d series engines have a lot a potential. who ever says they dont smokes crack. i had a d series running at 31/2 cylinders, (3 of 4 said about 100 psi and 1 said 50psi. ) and i was smokin people left and right. if u get an old engine and bring it back to stock specs before building on it ull get a lot better results with ur car.thats what iv done with all my engines
