Re: (Tad)

zc 1.6 i believe yes.

If this engine available which would be better for boosting, d1.5 or zc1.6?

No. They are pretty evenly matched when it comes to boosting.

Re: (2FAST4U831)

Not to sound rude but I would work on making the car a manual first. Automatics are just a pain in the ***.

Re: (ecl-ricochet)

I plan on leaving the car an auto. Probably purchase the tci tq converter and high end rebuild kit. I'm checking out level 10 also. It will cost a lot I know. I have a left leg/knee injury. A manual is kinda out of the question.

For realizing that it won't be as easy as just adding power. You will need to build the wimpy Civic auto tranny.
