I have 96 motor that is at the machine shop right now being over bored .02 and sleved. The head is also there being ported and polished. I have new JE pistons that are going in the engine raising the comp. 10.5:1. I also have a Fidanaza(sp) Flywheel. I am also going to purchase a zex cam to replace the stock one. I already have under drive pulleys, cam gear, Cold air intake, header, straight pipe, and cat back exhaust.

I have been on the site reading for about a month, but havent found any useful information dealing with my car. If anybody has any usefull information on what to do next that would be great. I am not looking for any forced induction yet, I had a turbo for a little while, but wasnt working out.

Also one other thing, how much power can the stock rods and crank hold. I haven't been able to find any info on this either, cause I am going to use the stock at the moment unless there ****.

well, if you really want to see a nice power gain, get boost, but hold up, you just said that your not looking for any type of forced induction...

Personally I would've done the 86-87 pistons for a little more compression...10.5 is fairly low. I'd then upgrade the valvetrain (springs, retainers) and get a wild cam (eg exospeed SOHC VTEC stg 3)...then after that get hondata s100 or 200 and get that bitch tuned.

I hope you got cash, NA powerhouse civics will cost you. Especially the single slammer.

I have read about the s100 and s200, they require me to change to obd1 correct. How hard it to install? And Does it run ok?

Also, If 10:5 is low, how high would a turbo kit add to the compression, I was thinking of geting the edelbrock Turbo kit.
