Cheap Easy Civic Mods

[MunG35]

What would I be looking at in order to get some very cheap... Sub $100 to increase the performance on my 95 Civic DX.... (only 102hp/98ft-lb tq) Is there anything.. like I have seen resistors that claim to add 20 % hp and shit like that... any of it worth it?

Any recommendations to get better accelaration on the civic? Plz post yur and let me know.

Thanks.

Here is my ...

I/H/E are probably the cheapest but not much of a difference.

Or

Swap.

intake is all ur gona get for 100$

[integrasedan]

intake is the most bang for your buck.

You could go on ebay and get an vtec EX head for like 20hp.. That's not including installation by a shop though.

get a shorty pipe, throttle body spacer kit, and see what you can do about injectors/rail from an ex out of a recycler. if you shop around and install yourself, you might be able to pull off greater air intake velocity with a greater fuel flow to boot. the exhaust can handle it, but I would start savin for a freer flowin cat and back.

getting different injectors or fuel rail wont do shit unless u go big power liek turbo. ur injectors put out enough fuel as it is

[wheel1856]

bigger injectors from an ex combined with the increase in air flow from a short pipe/CAI and throttle body will allow you ECU to pump the fuel your sensors are asking for.

if talkin about turbo, then you need after market rails that can pump a silly amount of fuel per second at the right level of boost.

he wants cheap, quick and easy, he has a DX - he can get the flow rate of an EX into his DX - adding 10HP at 3-4000rpms and 15HP at 5000+ rpms by adding a pipe, throttle body spacer (maybe even a larger sprocket if you have the coin) and an EX rail to meet the ECU demands

did you read the post? who said anything about a bigger fuel rail? who said aftermarket 4 bagillion gallons per second fuel injector/rail? I said EX rail to meet the increased air flow, unless you just want a pretty sounding extra 2 HP in the upper half of the power band from the intake you slap on.

sheesh no creativity anymore, swaps and turbos, swaps and turbos...where's the art?
