RE: THIS IS MY FIRST HONDA AND I HAVE A QUESTION?

I probably will swap intoa b18 but not just yet, first i want to see the potential i get from the d16 which might not be as much but im just curious. I live in maryland and over here you see so many civics that they could probably start a dealership jus selling civics. anyways i saw this 06 mustang trying to take on this 96 civic ex and right from the starting line i saw that civic smoke that mustang and since then ive always wanted a civic...

I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYWAY I COULD CHANGE IT FROM BEING A SOHC TO DOHC WITHOUT CHANGING THE ENGINE IT HAS IN IT?

NO, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE, BUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO MAKE POWER, YOU SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH, NOBODY IS GOING TO HAND YOU THE INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED BUT IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU WILL FIND IT, OH AND BY THE WAY YOU ARE MISSPELLING "VTEC"

no no no, dude, I'm not making fun of you. it's a common mistake.

I'm just laughing because I'm pretty sure they blocked that common misspelling like a curse word.

I'm still new here too, so I've not noticed that before

even the best of the folks on here admit to enjoying learning new things. I certainly do. there's a lot to be learned from people on this forum. learn from their failures and successes...that's what I'm doing.

If Swapping to a b18a1 it's not worth the money considering the stock hp is only 3 more than the d16y8

I will. I think its kool to know what people do to their civics and how every car is unique in their own way. ill put some pictures up of my civic once i get it this weekend. and from there on post new ones whenever i do some mods to it. hopefully i can inspire newcomers the way you guys have done with me....
