Re: 00 Civic EX
If you really want to go faster, save your money for a swap. D16Y8 motors don't respond that much to bolt-ons. Just intake/header/exhaust setup will net you maybe 10hp, if you are lucky, at a cost of about $1000 for quality name brand parts. Doing a boost setup will definitely help but, in my opinion, a swap and then build from there is a much better investment. When I spun a rod bearing in my D16Y8, it was the best thing that happened to me because I ended up swapping in a GSR motor. I haven't looked back since.

welcome to the forum, look in the marketplace for parts, and please use the search feature.
threads like this dont fly, as they have been covered before. and your title needs to be a little more specific.
