i got my first honda civic... mainly for gas milage, can anyone tell me where i will be at power wise with this set up???

its a 98 civic coupe dx1.6...i think 108hp at the fly wheel.

heres the list..

4-2-1 header
short ram cold air intake
throttle body
aftermarket muffler

pretty much basic bolt ons.. i dont know much about these little 1.6's

and those mods are pretty much to get the damn thing movin its pretty slugish.

 

i say take the intake manifold off and put the ex one on it, any 96-00 civic ex (d16y8)
itanke manifold will help ya out, with all the bolt ons you mentioned you may have 12hp
added, now what state do you live in, cause if they have emissions putting the 4-2-1 header you have to take the cat off since its on the stock manifold. i suggest converting the exhaust to the ex also.

 

delete this post, it basicly says convert to ex and chb beat me to it by a few seconds haha

 

mufflers don't increase power

what throttle body is it?

what intake is it?

header... maybe 2hp

 

More info would help a lot. What size throttle body? Do you mean a full cat-back exhaust or just the muffler? A cat-back will actually help a little bit... a muffler will make noise, and that's about it. And is the intake a short-ram intake or a cold air intake? It's one or the other (short-ram keeps the filter in the stock location, cold air tucks it down behind the bumper).

 

i know alot more about ls-1 v-8's n i put a pair of flowmaster mufflers on mine and it helped alot. took away a little torque at low end but felt more top end power on it.. plus i could notice an increase in gas mileage with the exhaust... yes im talkin bout a muffler only swap

im not trying to make this little civic fast.. just give it enough ***** to keep up with traffic lol. i'de be happy with an extra 20hp and just stop there

im probably gonna go with the short ram..heard bad stuff bout the full cold air..somethin bout water gettin sucked up n ****
