sup yall...the names cameron. i just bought a 97 civic and im wantin to learn more bout hondas. ive always been more into muscle cars but with the price of gas these days i can afford to run around in a V8 anymore. my cars gotta D16Y7, non-vtec. some friends of mine said that was a good motor but like i said i dont kno anything bout hondas. So if anyones got any info or tips 4 me holla at me....peace

 

Welcome to HCF

It's a good motor for reliability and gas mileage. Definitely not for power though, if that's what your friend meant by "good motor".

 

yeah its slow as *****.. but i beat an escort with it XD haha

anyhow, welcome to the forums

 

well speed is definetly what im lookin 4. Got any suggestions of what i should put in it?

 

What are your power goals?

What is your budget?

 

z6 mini-me swap and boost it

 

right now i can barely get up to 100mph but im bout to put a Y8 head on it...im makin bout $300 a week workin. heres whats already done 2 it...
d16 y7 .5 over with wiesco pistons and true seal rings
Blox lca's and front and rear camber kit
Coilovers
Skunk2 lower tie
Aem intake
Greddy cat-back evo 2 exhaust

 

kentucky FTW! i have the d16y8 motor in my 98 ex, you can turn it into a beast if you're willing to drop the cash on it. Bisimoto is turning one into a 700 bhp monster (low-compression pistons, rods, retainers, valve springs, valves, and a big effin' turbo) so you could go that route (you can follow the build in Super Street mag). If you want to keep it all-motor and still streetable, a header, intake manifold and engine internals are ways to go, you might also want to look into an ECU re-flash or a whole new ECU, Hondata and AEM make some good ones for that. welcome to the forums!!

 

What he said

Anyway, welcome to HCF. Are you planning on staying all-motor or are you going to boost it?

 

i'd like 2 stay all motor
