recently got a 99 civic ex. i was just wondering wat mods are available for me to beat some V6ers out there. i recently had a 99 passat v6. any mods like motor swap.. anything.. that would boost my hp. Or at least for now, any mods that are able to beat a 99 si? thanks

 

i/h/e should get you to beat a stock 99 si....for a v6...get some street slicks with the mods i listed and maybe some drivetrain....

I think you answered your own question.

 

get a k24 engine with a k20a tranny and you'll beat a 99si.

 

Boost about 8psi and you'll be having fun with even the v8 guys.

LOL...you will not beat a si with i/h/e

 

^^^ Probably could if the si driver didn't drive well and the ex driver could drive well. Then again i hate bench racing... So thats all im going to say about that.

Actually i had I/H/E on my y8 w/ some other tiny mods and I kept up with Si's and v6 mustangs pretty well.

As a former y8 owner I would recommend this: Turbo. You can get a good I/H/E for about $600-$1.2k and get MAYBE 12 whp OR you can turbo w/ a street legal kit for $2k and get about 30-50 whp.

Save yourself some money now and just go turbo, i wish i had.

any combination of the above bolded words.
i'd say start with a motor swap, but its all in how long you plan on keepin the car, and how much you want to spend.

well actually, this is still gonna be my daily driver car. so with a turbo.. i dont know how long that would last. lol. maybe i should just stick with i/h/e, but wat can i get that would be most beneficial that is somewhat cheap and would not put to much stress on my engine... wat are soome good name brands out there for i/h/e that would be most beneficial? thanks.

 

u can daily drive with a turbo & have ur engine last a long time. just get a quality turbo kit & have it tuned correctly.

or u can always swap in a b or k-series. (or h )

you can especially when you know how to drive, cuz i beat my friends si and he even had intake and exhaust

if you want power, i suggest go with a turbo setup

 

Aren't there rules against idiotic posts like this? And bette ryet, it belongs in the 92-00 Civic forum....NOT all motor.

I still dont understand why people think boost destroys engines. HP destroys engines!!! The only reason NA's don't blow as fast is that in order to even get anywhere with an NA car you have to do internal work.

If you keep your boost low, like i plan to once i get a turbo kit, then It would be no different than getting some amazing N/A I/H/E combo that significantly raises your HP. Your going to place added stress on the engine, but not to the point that you'll sacrafice a lot of reliability. Trust me, i felt the same way as you about boost but once you learn about it you understand that the only drop in reliability or life of your engine is from the amount of HP your engine makes, not whether you go boost or NA.

 

a stock 99 si is slow....the stock b16 is weak as heck...and good driver in a ex couple with basic bolt ons...should win...my friend tried and has it on vid....i will try to post it up if possible...

You want to put that down on a dyno?...now which one will win...fawk, if i say the ex has the best driver in the world and the si has the worst...who the fawk you think is going to win?....its common sense...you don't have to say...im talking about #'s

i am not a turbo guy, but a 2,000 kit will boost you up more between 50-70, espcecially with an open down-pipe
