What would you say are the best bolt ons for SOHC civics.

Ive got a 97 civic HX
CAI
Headers
2.5 exuast
plan on swapping in a port and polished d16y8 head with 98 EX ECU.

any suggestions for me and all other civic enthusiasts out their are greatly appreciated.

 

bolt on turbo

 

turbo bout sums it up

 

no everyone has the 2 grand for it and the knowledge too install one of these. you have to think of the average person with about 800 bones to blow on the engine.

 

Your best choice would be to save up a little bit more money and go turbo. You dont need 2,000.

 

Or just do the mini me swap.

 

Nos is the cheapest bolt on you could do but it will cost everytime you have to refill.

 

For the love of God...

seeing that it already has a vtec head on it that would be pointless. Second a homemade turbo kit is about a grand nicely put together. third Nitrious is good but your car is already designed to run lean so that wouldnt be to good of an idea. I would say do your y8 head, get an ex tranny, then prep your motor for a turbo i.e. fuel mangement, injectors, fuel pump, etc. or you could search.

your HX has vtec-e and vtec. it also has roller rockers. Do you know nothing about your own car?

my car only has V-tec E....do you even know what this does? do your research before you try and insult me.

 

i had I/H/M. it did ****. took off the I and H and put on a T. now I have a T and its faster than any bolt on you can get for a d-series.

save ur ******' money...and get some nice chick.

 

vtec-e slightly opens the valves to create a swirl effect. vtec opens the valves completly.

 

haha know who you're talking to in this forum.

Uh..... I don't have an HX? SO... Shut tha **** up???

 

alright so dont talk like you know ****.

 

chill mp5o. sohcvtec1995 meant...

Mini-Me's consist of a non-VTEC block and a VTEC head.

since it already has VTEC/VTEC-E, it wouldn't really be considered a Mini-Me, as you mentioned.

I know... I figured since he would only be swaping the head and other small parts it would be classified a mini-me.... Since hes doing half a swap... Not a full swap.... So a mini swap???

Turbo would be the way to go unless you just wanted to install a cam cam gears and do a Port & Polish w/ upgraded valve springs and retainers as well as possibly oversized valves.
that would give you some HP not to mention help if you went turbo down the road.
Good luck..

 

SPREAD THE HATE!

BETTER REGULATE!
