!!! Need Help !!!

[HurleyGuy145]

I've recently picked up a 96' EX and have since bolted on an Injen SRI and a 2 1/4" Magnaflow cat-back with a Thrush glass pack. I am completely frozen right now on which way I want to go with the car. I can't stand the D17 SOHC that's in it right now, so i'm most likely looking at a motor-swap (unless some one can explain an LS-VTEC to me, CRVTEC etc.) I'm posting to hear everyone's 2 cents on the best way to gain horse power

Anything from $300 - $My Soul

well thats cool, but the civic u have bosts a d16y8, not d17, those came in the 2001 civics, ls vtec is an Integra Ls block with a vtec head,b16a,b18c, crvtec is the crv motor with a vtec head on it... now it depends on how much u wish 2 spend...and if you will be doing the work, or having it done somewhre...me personally, i like the d16y8, with the right work, u can hang, or even smoke the dohc vtec's, and ivtec...how much money is in your pocket>??

Swap or turbo is the only way to get real power. The cheaper route will be to Turbo your d. For more on that you can go here:http://www.cse.uconn.edu/~yelevich/turbo/turbo.html
