Thinking about an AEM Cold Air Intake for my 01 Civic DX sedan...good choiice or no?...and thinkin about buying a gauge cluster from an EX or LX...will it work for my DX?..i need power and need to see how far i can push my car

 

If you're serious about this, read a few threads mate - it's the best way to learn. There's plenty of info about your subjects.

 

The gauge cluster is a nice swap, but there's really no gain from putting standard bolt-ons onto your car. The most you'll see from an intake, header, and exhaust combination, would be in the 5-10whp range. Pretty weak, considering the cost to get there.

 

What in the bejesus was that bump for?

 

thanks man i appreciate the suggestion

 

Thanks Toyomatt but just wondering if i do hook up a gauge cluster from a lx or ex model...will i have the propper wires to hook up to the RPM guage?...or is it not really worth it to buy all that stuff?..lol

 

I believe there is allready wires set in place to upgrade your cluster. and as far as more power, get a turbo kit and leave it at low psi boost, that'll give you a nice boost and keep your stock engine safe.
Cheers

Most of the gauges out there will be plug and play, as far as different car models are concerned. You may have an issue with the Hybrid model of gauge, since it is a lot different.

 

your going to need the gauges from an lx if you want them to work in your dx unless you re-pin the clip.

i bought a set of ex gauges from ebay and they didn't work, but lx gauges were plug and play.

 

thanks for them tips man and i hope the ones i get are plug and play because i am going to go to a pick and pull shop to hopefully find one in tact and from what i read from other people posting i can do it with an LX model cluster

 

thanks Rick, hopefully my time and money at the pick and pull will not goto waste and about how long do you think it will take to switch out the gauges? how long did it take you?...did you finall get the guages you wanted and needed?
