I have a '96 Civic DX(D16Y7) and wanted to know how much HP is even possible in the engine? Thanks

Randy

 

10,000 hp

 

its a very good platform

 

what a retarded question.
Depends if you go N/A or turbo and how much you tune and the quality of the parts you put onto it. As far as I'm concered, the power of an engine is unlimited. All it takes is $$$.

WOW... TALK ABOUT PLAIN RUDE....

 

MrIllegalX - i think he means how much horsepower the motor can take before it goes boom...jeez don't jump down his throat

 

Well, not to be a dick, but he could have searched a little before asking that question. However, we shouldn't be so mean to the new guy. But he is right, it comes down to how much money you are willing to spend.

 

My bad guys. I was just simply asking that question to see if it was even worth building a DX engine or should I just swap it out. But I think for what I want it to do, I will be better off going with a B18b1 and turbo. Thanks for the replies though.

 

Well with a good block/turbo setup and proper fuel management you can get 250-300 streetable whp out of it. Just a thought....

 

Really, ok if I decided to do the swap first, and then put the same amount of money in it that it would take to make that much HP in a DX, how much more HP could I end up with. Thanks for being patient with me guys

 

I have no idea, i am a 1.6 SOHC guy

 

would have to talk to someone who did the same swap. I'd say it doesn't hurt to find out. go for it. at least you didn't say turbo b18c7...which i've heard before.

 

Yeah, I think I will. 250-300 hp is decent. Thanks for your help guys.
