you need to look at the top of this forum, or try this page here:
https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch

I find it amazing that you've been a member longer than me and can't use the red link at the top right of your screen. this thread should be locked, it's worse than the "does this look ricey" or what's the loudest exhaust setup type of threads that are starting to pollute these forums more and more

sounds like you need a D16z6, unless you want to spend about $1500 and up on another swap

thats not one of his options. but man if you got the extra cash you can pick up a complete d16z6 for like 600-800. drop that in, its faster than a dx
