I have a 99 DX hatch and it has a stock motor with 40k miles on it and i was wondering, what can i do with it? is it possible to get parts for the DX motor and turbo it? or no one make any parts for the DX motor?

 

its a honda my friend. they have everything for it.

 

its you car and it really how much money you are willing to put into it. if it was me swap that motor out

 

i dont really want to swap the motor because it only has 40k miles on it and it's really healthy, just wanna use what i have for now.

What parts?

 

first of all, do a mini-me swap. a y8 head would help you the most and be the best for future upgrade mods

 

alrite thanks any other idea guys?

 

turbo or even better yet do a mini-me head swap (to make it vtec) and then turbo it

 

now anyone got a y8 head for sale?

 

don't waste your money and just keep it stock. Whatever you do to it... u'll still most likely get beat by a stock SI.. which is considered slow to begin with.

 

I'm not really wanting a race car or anything, i just want some power on that damn thing because i know i'm going to have this car for a long time.

 

You can do a number of things:

1. Boost your engine.
2. Swap for a B Series engine.
3. Buy aftermarket parts for your stock engine (will gain you no net power).
4. Save/invest your money and realize you did the right thing in the long run.

 

I'm wanting to turbo it.

i am confused by this. so you are saying putting a turbo on his D series wont beat a STOCK SI?? you need to rethink that.

Well, if you're serious about turboing it you'll need to do plenty of research to choose the kit that's right for you. Visit http://www.homemadeturbo.com, http://www.dseries.org, and http://www.turbod16.com. As far as turbo kits go, you can either piece together your own kit (usually cheaper) or buy a complete kit from greddy or similar.

BTW, what's your budget?

Everyone has a budget. If you can afford more than most, I'd swap in a B-Series engine and then boost that. It will last alot longer than a boosted D series engine.

 

i would boosted it or do an Ls swap

 

yeah i'm probably gonan boost it, let me get this straight i dont want to swap a B- series if i did i would of done it already. thanks for the ideas guys

 

what is the exact things i need to swap the y8 head over?

 

Just put a swap - theres not alot for that car to be quick compared to REXs and
88-91s and EGs but its all good . good luck with this

 

I also have a 99 DX Hatch... I've thrown a buncha money into it with headers, exhaust, MSD Ignition, ECU Chipped, CAI and it's still slow. I would mirror what has been all ready said and save for a swap, or boost her.

Thats about all i have to say about that.

 

Boost if you want to keep your motor. Also, an EX tranny is a great upgrade.

I've had 2 different turbo setups and a couple NA setups, and by far, boost is the best bang for the buck mod on these D series.
