btw isnt it the y8 thats vtec not the y7???

 

That is what I found it to be in researching the forum and vin number.

 

so is your engine d16y7 or d16y8
because its the y8 thats vtec
it doesnt have to say vtec on your valve cover for your engine to be vtec
everyone tells me my cars not vtec cuz they dont see the word vtec anywhere lol

 

130K miles is not a lot for a Civic. The family has 2 Civics that are over 250K miles and both are still running great and strong. Both still get 30+ mpg. I feel that your engine still has a lot of life left in it.

Look here and tell us the engine code:


The timing belt isn't too bad of a job to do on a Civic. And once the timing belt is off, you can do the water pump to. You usually do both with a timing belt swap.

 

buy a b block and a turbo kit.
but install the turbo kit on the current engine and run it at as high of boost as possible and make a couple 1/4 mile passes before it blows up
i wanna know what kinda numbers the stock block will make running like 30 lbs lol

 

Supersize. Y8 is Vtec not the Y7
