just got a civic si em1 need to beat my buddy any help
im sort of on a budget cuz i just bought the car like 1 week ago, 2000 civic si,
mods-intake, coilovers, cf hood, and shifter
my buddy has the same car
mods-intake, adjustable cam gears, cams, header and exhaust, short shifter and some other bolt ons.
is there anyway i can gain about 20-30hp, i can do basically any engine work,
if i get cams should i get ctr or itr cams, and what springs, retainers, and valves, header
i need some quick hp but i never built a motor before so any help would be appreciated thx

i guess your being safe when racing...i give you that much. Basically getting the same mods as your buddy will end up in a drivers race.
One thing you should keep in mind is security. Without, you wont have a car to drive.

cheep fast 30-40 hp is def. nitrous big big big shot and your gooooood for the win.
however if you want your car to be good for something other than just that one race u have to take a dif path.

Noone
because you both have b16 under the hood
SLOWWWWW
Anything you do to the b16 is wack
unless you go force induction.
You said that you can do engine work but never built a motor. What the hell?

Re: just got a civic si em1 need to beat my buddy any help (v8killaz)
i suggest giving your b16 block up for charity... or trying to sell it, and slap that b16 head on a b20.
you can even stay non vtec and still smoke him.
my 2000 si will never be b16 again, lol.

if you do any kind of motor work that isn't bolt-ons you're going to really want to get your car tuned. so if you dont have money for tuning..just do the same mods as your buddy and see who the better driver is. that sounds like a better race to me

Re: just got a civic si em1 need to beat my buddy any help (Ruben19)
rubin, hondas are about testing and tuning, u don't get a fast car out the box unless its a v8, which ive owned so putting some work in will def. make it faster
d16y8 is slower, and uneffective with bolt ons

im not hating bout B16s
I had both motors. i cant really tell the difference. no torque
I think the EM1 is kind of heavy. B16 are great on CRX or HB.
Drop the LS vtec and you will be so happy

You're going to need some money to do this. 20-30whp on a B16A is no easy task. Unless you turbo it. Then it's relatively easy and relatively cheap.
It's going to take internal work for your 20-30 extra whp goal to be achieved. It's pointless. For that price, you could just buy a faster car and beat your friend.
If you want to drag race, the BEST mod for a civic is a Camaro.
