Hi guys well i have a 00 civic EX with the D16y8, the parts i have is i/h/e, unorthodox pulleys, obx spark plug wires, irridium tip obx plugs and a high flow cat. Can u guys tell what type of set up would be good for me? i know a p28 is what ill need but its my daily driver and i just want that extra little punch.. Can u guys steer me in a good direction??????

 

Don't do anything to it.

If you want to do something to it, do it right.

The right way would be to pay 100 bucks from phearable, kenji, (or a cheaper, just as good source such as this guy https://honda-tech.com/zerouser...47794) who will solder in a socket for you. You then bring your car to be dyno tuned, and you pay 300 bucks or whatever, 400 possibly, they adjust the program (your stock fuel maps), and then burn it to a chip (write to the chip), which they then put in the socket - and runs your ECU the tuned way. BUYING A CHIP OFF OF E-BAY FROM "SPOON" IS NOT TEH SAME THING. Your setup isn't aggressive enough to need to adjust the timing so no worries there. You might even be able to get away with a hack VAFC2 if you're using the low system you are.

I mean it might sound a lot to you, but in all honesty that's really nothing in terms of upgrades.

You can spend like 500 total to get an ECU chipped, and dyno tuned, or whatever it is for a VAFC...and you'll be EXTREMELY LUCKY to see 10 extra whp.

My advice: Don't bother.
