You must be a troll.

B_Swapped93

turbo it or swap it....as for slowness, you probably dropped the clutch so many times you've worn it down.

CX-Adam

I haven't been on much. What happened to GrumblMarc? This is right up is alley.

doctorake

You wasted money on those things, swap or turbo.

Em1-2race

Go b or k series

jbpnoman

He sold his Civic a LONG time ago. He left because of the large quantity of flaming ********* liberally shitting up these forums with their facebook-style forum diarrhea.

doctorake

I thought gdd pissed him off. He still lurks though.

Thats a shame, I liked grumble

That being said; OP, boost, swap for something bigger, or attach it to another car that is pulling it along to go faster.

You have a grocery getter, this isn't the fast and the furious.

Btw, I hated those movies.

I had that motor in my Civic for a couple years when I first bought it. It's just a big piece of **** in terms of making it fast. I would recomend swaping out to a B-series motor. A B18B would be a cheap, easy swap and would be alot of fun. You will like the increase in torque too.

CX-Adam

Same. But, some people can't handle being told the truth and need to have their feelings coddled at all times. Grumble was a straight shooter. Something rare these days.

There's still some straight shooters around, telling it like it is. Problem is, now we're called "haters".

Back to the topic at hand, you will not make your car very much if any faster with bolt on modifications, headers, intakes, mufflers are really just for noise Unless you're boosted or get it tuned well. Like nearly everyone else has said it'd pretty much be a waste of time and money to do these mods on a sohc without boosting it, do what they suggest and go for a B series swap, they are readily available and less expensive than others. Or just say **** the advise and go with the fart can and annoy everyone around you

250 shot of nitrous. Then b series after it blows up.

Here you go OP:

Raged quit.

This has gone SOO far off the OP's original topic. I think by now he knows his options and this should be locked up.

Well, I think the OP needs to explore the FAQs sticky and then after reading relevant links there, he should come back with specific, well developed tech questions.

Throw a turbo on and get it tuned. Drive it til it blows, then get a b series.

jbpnoman

That's an ignorant thing to say. If it's properly boosted, properly tuned, and properly maintained, it'll never blow - the chassis will rot out before the motor blows.

egdro

You need to get it tuned!!!
