More performance
 

hi guys I have a 1997 civic coupe with a D16Y7 engine. Chass EJ6.The car is soooooo lazy. (I was passed by a 1300cc). One of the guys at the local dealer said that they were all like that.
What I want to know is if there is anything I can do the get a better performance from the car.
Specs. 4 cylinder 16 valve 1600cc. SOHC, NON VTEC.

RE: More performance
 

Well, You could do a mini me swap (Vtec head from an EX (d16y8) on your block), boost or swap. You have a good amount of options. Just depends on how much performance you want and how much you want to spend.

RE: More performance
 

swap the head, tranny, and intake manifold for the ones on the EX. you will feel a good gain in power and quite a significant gain in speed.

RE: More performance

Thanks guys I will see what the cost of these things are but the swapped head, tranny, and intake manifold on the EX sounds like a good first option at the moment.
