yep the d16 will gain barely anything from bolt ons. recommend you save the money if you plan on keeping the car. do a swap. B16, b18, K, etc. or go turbo

waste of money why question it? Intake is pointless on a D series wont grant any power...

the only reason i got one for mine is because i couldn't find a stock intake for an EX when i did my y8 manifold swap

d-series power?? rebuild or go boost...Or do a motor "swap" and then talk about bolt on's... if i were you looks like you dont want to race the car... i would go with just a plain LS swap (b18, 1.8 liter out of a acura integra)

a swap is when you take the current motor out of your car and upgrade/downgrade for another

Rightnow in your civic you have a D16y7

i would upgrade to a B series a B18C1 or a B18B1 they're very easy and the info is all aronund the forum if you reaserch GSR swap into Civic or LS swap into civic

these civics are all thesame from 1996-2000 they are OBDII

the 92-95 civics are diffrent they are OBDI
