Hey everyone. Been lurking for a little bit. I own a 04 WRX STi (398whp) and a 2004 SRT4 (recently purchased with 10.5k miles on it) My daily driver is a 1999 Honda Civic DX coupe, after much thinking I was going to sell it, i have decided to keep it. The car has done too much good for me to just throw it away. No problems at all 107k miles on it. I know it has the D16, but thats about as much I know about the car. Would it be worth it to build this thing up? How much hp could I get out of this motor and it still be reliable and for how much cash?

Thinking about a B, but figure Id ask you guys what the D is capable of, as I dont know much about it at all. Thanks for the help!! heres a pic

Rock the D!

Hey, welcome to HCF. Obviously you know about intake, header, and exhaust, but the first thing I would do is the Mini-me. It's putting a vtec head on your non vtec block and effectively bolting on another 20-25Hp.

That's a nice little kick without comprimising reliability or putting too big a dent in the wallet.

 

good to know, quick newb question, how much would that cost and obviously im going to need to get a VTEC ecu as well. Or is there some sort of controller i can plug into my OBDII? To reflash it. Sorry for the newb questions, ill learn quick

 

Hi and welcome! How long have you had the Civic?

Got pics of the STi? [sm=devilangel.gif]

 

nah, you need the ecu also. Check out the "mini-me" write up in the DIY section. Its pretty comprehensive. You can do it for $400 or less all inclusive. Theoretically.

 

yah i just checked that thread out. Ive had the Civic for a little over a year.
Cant wait to do it, prolly this summer, im going to get full exhaust, header, and intake, so hopefully ill pick up 45more horses or so?

heres the scoob

 

hello and welcome nice civic and scooby

 

the sti looks good without the wing. also nice civic by the way

 

Thanks for the replies guys, hopefully this summer things go well and ill be able to get an extra 50-60 horses out of the car. I want the best set up, so it will still be reliable to drive everyday, but fun at the same time

 

WELCOME! nice sti and civic. just look around the threads and such and u should be able to find most of the answers to ur questions.
