Re: 1998 Civic Dx Hatchback
Yes, dont waste money on that motor. The only way to make power from a
d16 is to turbo it. Other than that you can swap in a bigger motor such as B16 or B18. Until then you should instead fix the rest of the car. suspension etc. D series do not respond at all to NA modifications. They are nice to turbo though, needs to be built if you plan on doing more than 200hp.

Re: 1998 Civic Dx Hatchback
So this means it's better to get a new engine? but if i swap my engine, the car will become illegal, right? I was looking for a K20 series motor or a B16. Wich one is better?

Re: 1998 Civic Dx Hatchback
depends on the state. K20 and B16 are totally different motors. B16 is pretty cheap around $2,000 or less depending which model (Type R is around 2,000 or higher) and obviously is a 1.6 with power anywhere from ~140-160. Great motor to work on, but you might as well spend a bit more and get a B18, better power, more potential. B18C1 is GS-R motor with about 150 @ the wheels, good for turbo. B18C5 is type R, costs around $3500 I think. 180 at the wheels, better for NA. K20 is the newer motor 2.0 Liter producing around 200 hp I beleive. Very expensive, but responds well to bolt ons. Tight fit in most Civics. Check this link http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...ad.php?t=19176
