i have search the forum

Over the weekend i was lucky enough to find 96 ex for $390

it's Not VTEC :'(

I was wondering how can I do a D16 VTEC.
How can I lose weight/ have better power to ratio?
How can I have better power for this lil 4 Cyl/How much could i crank out?

I have only about 1000 dollas for parts.

Thank you

 

piece together a Turbo. And way is your EX non-vtec? What happened to the Vtec?

 

The engine's head(cover) does not say VTEC so i believe it is not vtec. I also search the picture for d16 Vtec..and it looks different than mine.

other than turbo...what else can i do..evne to achieve like 30 to 40 HP...am only 17 and i dont have much experience with turbo. :'(

 

i think honda stop putting the word "Vtec"on the cover after 95 but im pretty sure yours is vtec (never heard of an ex non-vtec before) as for 30 - 40 hp u can get a good set of headers, exhaust, cold air intake n you're closer to that goal ** O and dont buy off ebay**

 

My 97 ex had VTEC on the valve cover.

or with engines for that matter check for the solenoid that will tell you if you have vtec or not


oh and while your at it i SERIOUSLY think you need to read up on engines and performance before you send your $$$ down the toilet

header, exhaust, cai... = +17hp on a good day

is that worth the money?

remember he said he only have 1000 for parts and i think i speak for most people when i say as beginners we all started out with little bolt-on like those. he might not hit that goal of 30- 40 hp with it but its a start with the budget he have. he doesnt want to go turbo and swaping to b-series would cost him over 1000.

Check the engine code (Should be a D16Y8) or look for a VTEC solenoid. It should be a VTEC engine, some D16Y8s didn't have VTEC on the valve cover. BTW VTEC is not God's gift to automobiles, it's not going to make your car a rocket.

Better power/weight ratio? Turbo + stripped interior.

Power? Since you're obviously a n00b, start with some bolt-ons and maybe shoot for a HMT setup over the next few years. Do your research in the meantime. And D16s can put out anywhere from their 100ish HP stock to 400HP all-motor beasts, there is no one definitive answer on the ceiling for HP production.
