I was wondering if the under drive pulley was a good mod for the civic?

also what is a good short shifter to buy and what about a adj cam gear?


I would like to start modding my civic a little at a time
here are the list of mods I will start with
(this will be in about 2 weeks)
#1 P&P head with port matched intake manifold
timing belt, water pump, tensioner

 

if it was me, i wouldnt touch it because of the harmonic balancer....but yet again, i have heard that honda engines are internaly balenced...

 

if its a 1.5l go for the crankshaft pulley, if its a 1.6l or higher dont even bother, within 10,000 miles your motor will more than likely go downhill fast

 

i think it is a 1.6, I will not bother with a underdrive pulley

 

i have a dc sports short shifter and its really nice...i payed $110 for it but i think b&m makes one for about $70 and also skunk2 is nice...

 

hmm looks like ill ditch the underdrive idea for my 1.8ltr then. Also, I have a ebay aluminum short shifter, and it works great, iv had it for about 6 months. it cost me 99 cents.

 

i was always told to stay away from those shifters on ebay??

 

Yea you can do a AEM pulley kit system or adjustable cam gears but both would give you just that much more power. Im pretty sure the pulley kit would give 15 hp give or take. Im not sure with the cam gears tho. Try slowboyracing.com
