Hey everybody,

In just a few days I hope to take possession of a 1990 Civic SI. It's got 267000 km on it, but looks sturdy as anything. The stereo has been upgraded and there are Integra rims on it, but other than that I believe that it is stock. I'm ampd about getting it!

So, my mind wanders off to mods, knowing that this is an very mod-friendly car ...

Any suggestions for initial engine mods? I'm not looking to outrace anybody, but just do some simple and quick customization that might improve performance.

I'll let you know when it's in my driveway!

Pat

 

welcome!! these are always the first thing people who for performance, intake, header and exhust..make it breath nice and free up some HP, next made lower it with springs and shocks for some more performance in handling

 

Sounds good, post some pics up if you get it.

 

Love the 4th Gens. Sounds like a sweet ride. Your si trumps my dx but mines only got 198000km whoo.
As mill$civic said I/H/E is best way to go for your first mods, both for the extra HP and the stronger
beefier sound. A lil window tint and lowering dont hurt anything either

 

yup yup yup, I/H/E is the best way to go when u wanna get a little extra out of ur car...

gotta drop it too, looks much nicer

 

I've read differing reviews on the whole intake question ... if I'm not overmodding, should I just drop in a K&N air filter? If I stick to the stock airbox, do others like other filters instead?

Thx!
Pat

 

get the exhaust first. the go with intake.

 

I've gathered a lot about how to do a CAI ... what about header info? I see that ebay has a nice variety of 4-2-1, but is there a 'brand' that anyone would recommend?

Thx!
