i have a 2 door civic ex, i was just curious what you guys have done with your d16 engines performance wise?

 

Just a CAI for me. I put a larger filter on it. Mainly I have been doing things to make it handle better before making it fast. I am gonna be supercharging though.

 

AEM V2 Intake and Apex'i GT Spec Cat Back Exhaust...

Hopefully turbo near the end of summer, or after the first semester of college...

 

My orig motor blew up, replaced it with another D16Y8...and as soon as I Get Paid More, I'm going to rebuild the other engine - just with upgraded parts...dunno what else yet tho.

 

College and criminal damaging hinder my progress more than I'd like, however these are upcoming:

short ram air intake (I live in Ohio, so monsoon season is a no go for full cold air w/o AEM adapter thing$$)
4-2-1 ceramic headers
high flow cat
full cat back exhaust (as quiet and incon****uous as I can get it so as not to attract unwanted attention)
short throw shifter

Beyond that, I'll focus on my handling:

Upper and lower strut bars front and back
upgrades all across the suspension system (maintain stock height if I can to keep the car looking normal)
good tires
bigger honda-made aluminum rims (again, keeping it incon****uous)

 

I'm doing i/h/e this summer then after I get more money (probably getting a summer job) I'm getting either a direct port nitrous kit or a wet kit from ZEX. Very most likely that it will be the direct port kit.

 

only header and intake here, ws2 exhaust on the way. No forced induction for me, hopefully a b by the end of summer.

 

Why Nitrous? Save, Boost!

 

Once I'm done my setup will cost more than putting a turbo in.Three reasons, I can use regular gas when I'm not racing and it's as reliable as stock with normal wear until I hit the nitrous. Third would be for the show, look at my car, having a nitrous tank in the back in between two 12" subs on each side and then the system hooked up in the engine bay. It just fits my car better than a turbo does. Plus if I ever want to swap my engine or turbo later on I can still use my nitrous kit.

 

ws2 ftw!
i got NGK plugs, 9mm wire, cheap intake, World Sport 2 catback sys.
