i bought a 95 civic dx a couple months ago havent done anything to it except new rims and tires. i have about 550 to spend right know should i go ahead and put a b16 head or just put some bolt ons? i dont want to go turbo

 

Suspension or brakes.

 

a b16 head on a d16 bottom? No sorry man that doesnt work
save up another 500 and do suspension right with good shocks+springs

 

you cant put a b16 head on it. you have a d series motor. you can put a d16z6 or a y8 head on it.

 

if you have a d-series you can't just put a b16 head on it... if you wanna stay n/a they you probably shouldn't waste your time on the d15 you have in there and save some more cash for a b-series swap...

 

You may want to save up some more cash, but if it is burning a hole in your pocket...
I'd go for either a cat-back exhaust or some shocks/springs

Good luck

 

damn when i typed my reply there were 0 other replies, you guys are fast

Nope, you're slow

 

I say do the B16 head.

 

suspension first

 

um.. did you just say you want to put a b16 head on a dx civic??? hahahaha i dont think you should mod a civic at all for that one... well i just had to get that out... to help you out.. you can put a z6 or y8 head on your engine (mini-me).. then save up and turbo it... or you can just save up right now and get a H or B series engine.. dont waste your money on bolt ons.. unless you're just trying to achieve a show status.. because those bolt ons aren't going to get you anywhere in a dx... or you can work on your suspension like everybody else is saying...

 

is that like putting a b16 on speed wise. and how much hp can i gain from the d16z6

 

b16 head on a d15 bottom end = mad powa yO!

haha jk man it = no workie

 

You can't put a b-series head (DOHC) onto a d-series block (SOHC). I would do suspension first.

 

Zex Kit with a 50 shot, u will have tons of fun with that, but i would just get a good alarm for that much cash, u get get a Cliffort Unit with Blackjax installed for that price, it will be alot safer then any other alarm out there for that price, pager alarms run about 400 installed, but the range isn't all that.

the real power comes when you put a h22 head on a d series bottom wth a integra type R tranny with ctr pistons if you guys only knew how to make power

lol

 

you can get pretty nice shocks/springs for $500
build your suspension first,
then save up for the swap,
after that, get bolt-ons, and start to care about how she looks.

 

is a d16z6 about the only sawp i can do and how much hp gain can i get from it

 

D16Z6 or Y8 is only head swap you can do.

Other full swaps are possible, but not with $550.

 

how much hp gain can i get from it

 

I'm going to say 10hp, but this is just a guess. Search for mini-me.

you can give youre self a vtec motor by placeing a vtec head on youre block, nwo there is somethings that you just can't say out right and since i dunno much about SOHC motors im not going to say. but you could puchase a d15b (jdm SOHC vtec motor) for under 550 hondamotorsonline.com has them for around 450 i think, but i would suggest you expand youre knowledge about honda's and motors in general befor you start doing anything, besides maybe throwing on a intake or a muffler not really super dooper power upgrades though.

 

Continue saving.

WTF? I think you should have some points docked... Don't listen to this a-hole...

I understand you wrote up the mini-me topic? So I take it you know you cannot bolt a b-series head to a d-series, so STFU and stop f**king with people, esp. since he is asking a legit question.

As carlo said, continue to save, if you want to do things right, do them right the first time. This is the best advise IMHO. I would first go suspension...

calm down 976.. he was just joking.. but yea i would say the best choices are to use that $550 on suspension.. or keep saving and get a B or H series honda engine.
