I just bought a '98 Civic EX. 1.6l VTEC and I need some advice on hooking it up. I've done the 'sport compact / MAX Power' thing before, but not with a Honda. What I want to know first, is what muffler and cold air system provide the best HP gains?
I don't care for throwing huge amounts of cash at a car for things like bodykits until I'm happy with whats sitting under the hood, but I'm hoping to get a widebody kit on it after the engine, tranny and handling are sorted. Does anyone know of a widebody kit for the 98 coupe? All I've seen are ones for the 4-door and the hatchback.
Also, can you get a fuel pressure riser for the 98 EX? I can't find them listed anywhere. Would anyone care to give advice on wether a FPR is a better idea than a chip? I've heard both sides of the argument. Keep in mind, I'm looking for power gains above price, but still trying to keep my spending under control for the time being.
If I get into this project deep enough, I'll want to do an engine swap eventualy. What's the best idea when it comes to switching out engines?
That's pretty much it. Any advice you can give is appreciated.
