I have a 98 civic 4 door with a d16y8 non-vtec and is automatic(bummer I know) but anyway. I am going to buy a supercharger for it sometime Sunday or Monday and I wanna know if anyone knows where I can get my ecu chipped and setup so I can tune my car for the supercharger? Im only going to run maybe 7psi so do I even need larger injectors or a chipped ecu? Thanks any opinions help and yes yes I know wtf u gone supercharge a automatic 4 door stock civic for. But im tired of mustangs and other lil wanna be's blowing by me and laughing as I just cruise down road. I will build a better motor but for now I wanna play with this car thanks.

You realize that you are driving a 1.6 liter 4 cylinder, 4 door, compact car built for economical commuting. And you are trying to compare it to what you call "lil wanna be" mustangs and the like that are blowing buy you. I would assume that most of these lil wannabe's are of the V6 & V8 RWD sports car variety. What did you expect when you bought a college students economy car?

Anywho, I don't want to brake your dream of smoking Mustangs in your Civic. In all honesty, I would suggest that you call around to local tuners and see if they might be able to help you out. It is going to take a lot more than just a chipped ECU to get you running a SC in your car.

Injectors, yes..... a tunable EMS/chipped ECU, yes..... a dyno tune, yes. and someone with the hardware to tune it!

Ok thanks for the help I use to have a 96 civic I swapped a b16a2 into and did few mods but I just wanna build a 4 door civic and keep a sohc engine so guess I better build a mini me or a f22 vtec?/

If you are going to look into building a SOHC F series. I'd stick with ether the F22A Non VTEC family or the F23A1 VTEC.

Ok I will look on here for those. I found a b16a2 and a trans on craigslist in my area for $900 but they both completely disassembled. Im not sure im just bouncing ideas. Wanted a cheap quick ride but we all know u either want cheap or speed no substitute
