Im new to Honda-Tech. I just recently bought myself a EM1. Im excited to have my own Honda now. Performance wise everything is stock. Let me know whats some good ideas to do. Well here are a few pics, let me know what you think....

 

Security, security, security. You can never have enough on a Honda, especially an EM1.

Hopefully you take the car in the right direction

 

^^ i agree about security.
Its clean and simple.

 

thats a nice platform to begin with. have fun building it

 

thanks guys....i have security on it...alarm, kill switch... garage kept

 

looks like a good start to a great car

 

full-race turbo kit.

/thread.

 

Nice start. Lot better then that last guys eg hatch lol.

 

Clean car, keep it that way

 

Original motor w/ JDM valve cover? Or JDM B16? Looks good.

 

looks sick, i would keep it stock, looks like it may already have some aftermarket suspension parts, it looks lower than stock, may just be me.

 

looks clean, nice and simple.

 

thanks guys for the positive replies, im pretty sure its just a stock b16, and the suspension is lower than stock because its on tein coils

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

Check the block. It should have B16A2 engraved. If so, then that's just a JDM valve cover (Because of the "H" symbol above Honda). If it's B16A, then it's a JDM motor. Both are great. Having the B16A2 just makes the Si more "Original".

 

no, thats a stock *** usdm valve cover.. ive got the same one on my si when it was stock...


btw man,are you on EM1 crew? those pictures look super familliar

 

ok ill check it out and get back to you guys, and no i just put a few up of the car to show them what i got and questioned how to get in but i got no response.

 

Oh. Lol. I guess that only applies to GSR and ITR.
I stand corrected..

 

lol didnt mean to call you out.. but I WAS JUST SAYIN!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D but on the GSR, ITR.. that im not sure of. lol

 

Mmmm...that stock engine looks so clean. Just leave the engine alone unless you plan on doing some internal work. Header and cat-back is as far as I'd go engine-wise unless you plan on building N/A or FI. I love the look of a full looking engine bay with the oem intake.

 

on usdm gsr and itr valvecovers have a DOHC vtec not dohc VTEC. get it??
sorry for getting off topic op..

as a fellow fbp em1 owner...keep it the way it is...except for security!!! fuel kill switch, headlight kill switch, gps, and c4 that gets triggered by a phone call (if someone gets it)

 

yea im thinking about doing a header, catback and a intake... im going to do the intake first any good opinions on what brand to get and get the most power out of? and also any good header and catback suggestions?....its alright that you were getting off topic you taught me something i didnt even realize so thanks. and thanks for all the positive feedback...also i do got a fuel kill switch and the gps is not a bad idea..thanks dood

 

welcome to the site! you have a very clean car. looks just like my old em1 i had.

 

An intake is probably not going to do anything for that engine, power wise.

 

clean unmolested Si's are awesome dude!!! now get a nice alarm and a garage. there are thieves everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
