I own a 96 civic d16y7 with turbo and i am looking for ways to add more horsepower. Any suggestions besides an sacf and tuning.

 

uhhh....if it's not tuned you better get that done first

 

more boost

 

Tuning.

 

u should get a y8 manifold that make better air flow

 

So your runing a turbo and no tune?

You NEED to get a dyno tune asap. SAFC is crap. Use crome. Unless you want your motor to blow.

 

Tuning it will get the most potential out of your motor.


The is for you because you have boost and no "tuneage".

 

this is a prolly stupid question but when u get ur car tuned what exactly is being done?

 

Tuning is adjusting the air/fuel ratio to get the best balance for the most power...VTEC can be added in/controlled, along with nitrous, etc.

Basically just getting your car to run properly...no running rich or lean


But yeah, you need to get a tune with a GOOD tuning program asap...Hondata, Crome, Neptune, etc.

Are you running a stock fuel system? If so...upgrade that (bigger injectors, fuel pump, fuel rail) so that you can crank up the boost SAFELY.

A bigger (2.5"-3") exhaust system would help out a good deal as well...but get a tune first.
