i just installed a new performance exhaust system on my ex and plan to get a cold air intake soon. is there anything else i can do to upgrade my horsepower? its an automatic with the d16y8 engine. i think it might be too much to swap the engine, are there any smaller things i can do to upgrade it?

thanks

 

There isn't really much you can do to D series to make considerable power unless you go boost, which I would not suggest if you have an Automatic transmission. The AT cannot handle much additional power from what I have seen. An exhaust and intake will get you about 3-5 hp at most.

You could always swap to MT, would that be something you would be interested in doing by chance?

 

whats the difference between automatic and manual that a automatic cant handle it?
and it would depend on how much it would cost swap it and how hard it would be

 

trust him
way more fun too

 

you will never get the full ability of your car if its not manual , you wont have full control
