Honda Civic EX 96'

if you were given a honda civic ex 96' stock. what would be the first thing you did to it to make it have more RPMs and make it go faster.

[Ace$nyper]

Honestly just sell it.

I would search and read up on the b18c1 swap.

K20.......want one???

[QUICK_EG_B16A]

That's a broad question. I think the most cost effective thing would be to do a swap. Then modify that engine. Don't waste the money modding a d series.

[Schister66]

d series does have potential though......w/ bottom end modification and BOOST

[civicex96]

my honda civic ex 96' is lowered with a k&N short ram intake on it

how much would it be to swap the engine and what type of engine should i get and im saying i want a fast car.

If you want a fast car, you'll have to do more than just an engine swap. An engine swap, build the engine, and turbo would be your best bet. Otherwise a K20 would be your best bet (then h22a, then ITR, then GS-R, etc). The cost will completely depend on what engine you go with and what you do to it. Figure out a budget (a real budget, none of that "well I think I might be able to spend $10K" crap), and figure out some reasonable power goals (400whp isn't going to happen for $5K).

[Schister66]

just know that w/e you pick, power doesn't come cheap and there are no ways around spneding a good chunk of change. Your best bet is to swap and boost if you're not happy w/ the power that the new engine has. A b18c1 swap and boost is going to cost $6-7k+ for a good engine and a turbo set up....and that's on a stock engine.

As soon as you know what you what and the budget you have, then we'll talk

ight well i got around 2000 and i dont want to do an engine swap rite now what modifications should i buy to gain hp or what would be my best option.

[Schister66]

Greddy turbo kit would be the best bang for the buck as far as factory mods....you could build a DIY turbo kit and see some pretty big hp gains...

[iVteC_PoWeR]

since your on that low of a budget save some more money strengthen your internals and turbo...

[Schister66]

on a D, you can make up to 220whp before needing to worry about internal mods.....get the Greddy or a DIY turbo kit and you'll be good and you won't break the bank.

just use spray and when you blow the d just drop another and keep spraying
