95 civic coupe - need ideas to make more power
so im new to the thread, and web page but i finally fufilled my dream of getting a honda civic coupe even though its a 95 im still willing to do some work on it.
now im not a mechanic but im always a really great learner and have done alot of electrical work to my old car. but i just dont know what to start getting for the mechanical area of the car. i know i want an intake, headers, suspensioin, and possible an engine swap down the road if all goes well. ive done qite a bit of research but was just looking for suggestions on what to look for and what would be a better fit.

if you're going to do an engine swap I'd start with that. Otherwise you'll be purchasing the same things twice. Maybe start with a mini me swap

well i just looked up the specs, cause i was originally told a 98 but got there and found out it was a 95. the engiine is horrible, and was solely built for economy. 40 mpg is pretty spectacular for a 95 but not what im looking for, i was looking at a b16a2 but what do you mean by a mini swap?

A mini me would be putting a vtec head on a non vtec block. Check what engine is in your car currently to see if it is even stock.

Swap all you want, it'll still be slow without boost, or SERIOUS motor work.

Yea, I have a lot of catching up to do as far as learning About boost and finding a proper place to go and get a dyno test and tune, but if not a b16 what would you suggest?
