any ideas for a 98 civic?

[lostforawhile]

any ideas on a minor performance boost from a 98 civic? I just had to drive this thing all the way to adel georgia,and this car has no balls whatsoever. what are these in the lx a 1.6 or something? this will be my wifes car but this is rediculous. it's like driving a geo or something. I just changed the radiator for example and it's smaller them most ac condensors. I did take a picture of the motor though
maby a nice mellow sounding exaust or something? this is why I kept my accord,I only drive this thing when needed. I remember one of my 81 civics with the factory stock motor would perform better then this thing.

nv.

aftermarket is out there for it.

[mkymonkey]

uh you could just do the norm I/H/E and be done with it

but it IS a civic so you have numerous options

[MessyHonda]

yeah at least you got alot of aftermarket.... I/H/E is the way to go to get cheap power.

[ghettogeddy]

sell it and get a newer accord lol

I beleive that forum is D-series.org for them civics.

yup...look up mini-me swap

hahahahaha
anyway, lx, so no vtec there. but i/h/e should get you some noticeable gains. if it's auto, do a 5-speed swap. and like messy said, mini-me it will give you vtec and an added power boost up top. but all depends on if you're looking for power lower or higher on the powerband. you can probably get a delta cam that should give you noticable gains as well for pretty cheap.

D16 turbo kit. Easy to install and tune on a civic, cheap too!

I might just have to do the exaust intake thing. can't get rid of the slushbox,my wife has a leg problem so she can't drive a stick,even though the slushbox is eating all my squirrel power. I'll be glad when I get my car done,at least it's got some "nuts" lol

get supercharger. it should give you some low end and more power uptop.

+1 on the d16z6 head swap

[azazel_18_2]

You do not do a D16Z6 head swap. Do a D16Y8 head swap or engien swap. You can get a B16 swap with an auto trans for like $1200 anywhere or get a B20 engine swap out of CRV and do a b16 head swap on it. Wither would make better power. Forget the turbo kit unless you do it after a B-series swap. You will spend $1700 + for a good kit and you will have to spend even more money making you engine handle more than 8 psi. B or K series all the way!!
