I have a 95 civic dx and do not want to go with a mini-me. I was just wondering, if i upgrade my fuel rail, fuel pump, and throttle body, do you think I would get noticable gains? Im planning on doing an engine swap eventually, but want to do a few small things to my engine for now. spening the money on them even though im swapping isnt a problem cuz moneys not really an issue.

noticable ? no, i doubt it.
you'd flow mroe air with an uprated throttle body but that isnt enough to make much without other mods.
it would be worth saving the money for when you get the engine swap, its better than buying bits for the engine then getting a new one.
just my opinion, i might not be 100% right on the gains thing though.
an dont say money isnt an issue, either people wont think much of you, you'll get a big shock when major work starts or both.

no. Not without a good amount of horsepower to where you actually need a more steady flow of fuel.
