hey guys..
i really need help with doing mods to my 97 civic ex. btw, is my 97 civic EX a VTEC? it's aSOHC.what modes can be done either than forced induction? brands woulds really help and what kind (intake, exhaust, headers). thanks!

if you sift thru the FAQ at the top of the board, you'll find answers to almost all of your questions

intake, the best for honda is AEM, best exhaust i don't know but a Greddy is a good choice, and for headers get a 4-1 DC headers. it' still pointless in the end to fix up a d16y8.

why is it pointless to hook up a d16y8?

it's not pointless


boost ownz!




But, it's header for one thing. Civics have inline 4-cyl. engines. Thus only one header.





Check out the FAQ. It's there because this question is frequently asked. So, Frequently Asked Questions is a great place to find an answer!

Hey what are you running on that? Whats your boost?

Anyone know why in the world he's asking this? :confused:

you ask why. I don't how many of you ever race a EX before, but I know for a fact from many experience that no one running with a d16y8 can beat a person running with a d16y7. VTEC on a SOHC is not good as it is on DOHC. So running without VTEC on a SOHC is better than running with VTEC. Just my opinion, nothing base on facts about my VTEC theory, so please don't go all crazy on me because you disagree.

ditto :)

Seriously though, I've seen some crazy SOHC (VTEC inside - always) civics driving around that have power coming out the wazoo. They're not gonna flex on a viper anytime soon, but still. And I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who's seen these marvels of automotive get-up-and-go.

Maybe I was wrong about Sohc VTEC, I think it comes down to the driver ability. I'm able to beat Integ, GSX, FC3S, and so on with my barely stock d16y7 running with only a intake and exhaust.
