Default How to enhance an Civic EG '92/'93 to it's peak performance?

I have just purshased my 1st Honda, i will very much need all the help from you PROs outta to help me out on this issue.

How can i enhance my EG Auto 4Dr? i am not particlar with the outlook, it's the performance and internal organs that i am interested in.

few points which i will very much like to enhance:

1) save fuel consumption

2) increase pick up speed, torque and power

3) good handling and balance (especially during cornering)

Million Thanks to whomever that help out

If your looking to get your stock d series to its peak power i would go with forced induction, you will save more money then if you where to go N/A. Who doesnt like the sound of spooling

There are so many routes and different things you can do to your car....its amazing. You can stay with the current motor that you have build on it, (intake, header, exhaust, and eventually turbo) OR you can even do a motor swap from an acura integra (B16, b18 motors etc etc) which is duel cam and starts off with higher horse power and torque compared to your motor. (yours is single cam)

For an improvement in cornering, you would need suspension work done..

The best way to get an idea on what to do with your car, however, is search. use the search button on the top right and search. I promise you will get pages and pages of information on the topic of your choice. good luck.

i would just tell u to get a b20 (crv) block because of all the torque and get it resleeved since they are known to HAve meak cylinder walls and drop a ctr head on top with all itr internals and get it to rev up to about 11,000. that would be fast enough for me. Does anyone kno someone with this setup becauze i would like to kno what they ran

Not to be a dick, but first of all, a USDM Civic will never be an EG. EG is the code of your chassis; your chassis is more than likely an EH. But for help...your automatic transmission will forever hold your car back. Your best bet is to buy a complete swap or a whole front clip from a JDM Civic so you will have all clutch, pedal, and master cylinder components. Try http://www.jdmshit.com or talk to a guy named Newman on this site.

Second of all, do not listen to this kid. More than likely he knows nothing about what he is telling you. A B20B/Z will not revv to 11.000 RPM with its comparably high 89mm stroke. Most B18C engines will not even revv this high.

ENGINE

1) Auto -to- Manual swap

2) D16Z6, D16Y8 swap (they'll never know )

3) Build it (cams, pistions, springs, tb, etc.)

4) Boost it (GReddy, Drag, Apex'i)

SUSPENSION

1a) Springs/Shocks (H&R Sport/Tokico PP)

or (do you want spring/shock combo or coil-overs)

1b) Coil-Overs (TEIN, H&R, Tanabe, etc.)

2) Sway Bars (Suspension Technique)

3) Front and rear strut/tower bars ('any')

4) 15x7's w/ 205/50-15's

Just my $.02

Not to be a dick, but you're wrong. My USDM 95 4dr LX is an EG8. If you don't believe me, look at some VINs for 4dr civics.

And he's clearly not from the US. His location says Singapore.

buy a cheap greddy turbo kit or apexi kit. buy a used one, and boost your stock motor to learn alot.

also get the book maximum boost by cory bell and read it also some of the honda performance books are good to get and read through.

check out the link in my signature. its my 92 civic sedan turbo buildup. might have some info and pictures on that site that will help u out.
