i truely dont know what to do. ive looked at so many diff. cars im just torn between what to do first.

i dont have a lot of money but i really want something quick and fun to drive.

i have a 98 civic with a d16. i would really like some help/gudelines to follow.

so far all i have is a custom magaflow catback. and some konig 17' rims. i plan on getting a AEM cold air soon but...still saving.

PLEASE HELP!

 

Intake, header and exhaust will give you a couple of extra ponies (generous)BUT.. you will lose them with the 17's. Heavier rims = a slower car, weight reduction is key. Save your money and put togeather a budget turbo kit (check homemadeturbo.com). Without one your d series will be forever slow.

Not forever slow, just not "quick enough." The easiest way for the novice D-man is to add boost. It makes you happy, and if you break it...oh darn. Do you have the D16Y7 or the Y8 in your car?

 

i got the d16y8.
what is the differance?

 

thanks

 

head design, cams, and fuel injection are different. it will cost you ruffly about 6-700 to have a decent setup. The price goes up from there. If you don't have that type of cash, just buy the bolt ons and help free up some extra power.
