Most go t25 or similar. its not that hard but takes time. you can do it for like $1,500 at the least (with semi- decent parts) still takes money to make serious power. Stock d16 can handle up to around 200hp. then needs rings, pistons ,rods, arp headstuds(good idea anyway) it can be done. www.turbod16.com

I have a 96 LX and had your same problem. I am using a 92-95 EX manifold and 18 degres of timing, polish the TB and match manifold W/ the head. The head is not ported. only other equipment is a custum air intake , 4-1 heater , high flow cat and exhaust. It pulls like crazy till red line. NO B.S......

its just the laws of physics, a 1.6L non vtec engine wont go fast. Just keep ur car looking nice & clean. Good quality brakes & tires will help a bit with the handling. Theres a trade off for the slowness, amazing gas mileage, I averaged 31 mpg in the summer, no joke.

wtf does physics have to do with it? D series motors just aren't the greatest platform for big power.
