I would like to know what I should do to my car it is a 97 civic dx coupe and I have coilovers, shocks and struts, rims, and an intake. I wont to know what yall would suggest I start on next without having to go with an engine swap thankyou

 

not much point in modding that engine with more bolt ons, i have the same thing. im saving for a swap. but to get some good numbers you could put on a VTEC head, and a turbocharger.

 

Depends on what you want... You could go with a cat-back exhaust next, and/or you could go forced induction. It's kind of a broad question, and you need to do some thinking on several things. What do you want to do next? Function, or Fashion? Low budget? We need a few more details.

 

well the things that I am considering is I wont an apexi n1 exchaust and then prolly I might go with the buddy club kit but I dont know which one would be better to go with I am not really worried about speed yet cause the engine isnt that fast so I think I will go with style first so what do yall think now

 

i think you should go with exhaust. and even if you do end up swaping the engine, you can still use the exhaust. so yeah, N1 all the way.

 

boost the hell out of it seriously run like 15 psi and then buy a d16z6 when it dies

I agree!

 

you should save for a motor swap, but since u sed no motor swap. i say you boost your dx motor.

 

where can I get that much boost from what company and how much do yall think it will cost but I would like to should I get the exchaust now or later thanks

 

Wheres John when you need him? Anyways, he tells me all the time I need to boost my engine like that. Just a junkyard trubo setup will give you that much boost as long as you have a big enough turbo. Then once your engine blows up you simply take $500 and buy a new civic engine cause they are cheap. Boostin would be the best idea, running like 15psi and getting some nice slicks so you could win tons of races at the track so the turbo and new engine would eventually pay for itself.

 

If not swap, at the very least, throw on a d16 vtec head.

And squeeze a modest 60 shot for fun. That's cheap and effective. (although I hate NOS)
