I have a 2001 civic LX. I cannot afford a K swap so i'm looking for ways to increase HP. I'm poor and cant afford a kswap so looking for cheap ways to get more power. can I put a upgraded aluminum fkywheel on to help? I have a CAI, and im going to put headers on. I also just put on a magnaflow on and increased my pipe size, any other suggestions that could help at a budget price?

 

People have done y8 intake manifold swaps on d17’s.

As far as being poor and trying to build a platform that doesn’t have much support you’d be better off keeping it stock, the amount of work your gonna do to it will result in minimal gains. Maybe put money into the suspension and spend more time driving the car and growing your driving skills.
