2-ls swap and turbo later on
i would like to get at least 275-300 hp its a daily driver

 

umm dont waste money on your automatic

you arent going to get 275-300 out of an auto d16 unless you drop serious cash

if your going to spend that much just i dunno to the 5 speed swap or something


dont boost an auto its depressing

and..why would you want all that horsepower for a daily driver?

 

Auto isnt that bad with turbo. I knew a guy that was running 13's with his LS turbo auto. IF you want 275-300hp daily driven and turbocharge. Thats not going to happen. My friend with his NA 210hp civic hatch runs low 13's without slicks. If you get into the 300hp zone you are looking at 11's or better. But if you want to reach in that hp zone, do the LS swap and turbocharge it. But if you want a daily driven vehicle, turbocharge the d16z6.

 

H22 swap!!

 

turbo the d. Who cares if its auto or stick. auto=constant boost. and as far as makeing that much power it is possible. i know a guy (also on ht) that made 300whp on a stock internal d16z6 with just a head gasket and arp studs. was running 11's in his daily driven crx.

Sell it and buy a
STI

 

im pretty sure stock automatic transmissions on a civic can't handle much more than 200whp. i've heard a couple horror stories around turbod16.com

Why not? That is not much hp at all. There are some guys pushing over 350 whp on their DDs.

 

but the variable here is that much hp on a d series motor. those kind of numbers out of a b series on a DD are fairly common.

 

OR do a search for crying out loud there's a ******* sticky at the top of the page on the different motors what you need to do a swap. SEARCH DAMN-IT! SEARCH!!!

 

Swap over to a 5 speed first. Your AT will not make power at all.
