And no, you cannot put B/H/F engines in your car, but the reading should enlighten you on what is an engine and how they work and how you can make it better.

And i just showed that you need to improve your searching skills in your other thread a few minutes ago.

Getting to 150whp isn't to hard, getting past that without a turbo is very difficult.

Just to start,
K-pro.
I/H/E.
stage 2 or 3 cams with supporting head mods.
high compression pistons.

Thanks everybody for the help, and i do read all day lol i have in school detention for 45 days, Sooo i have alot of free time on the computer, but another problem i have is that my civic is a automatic so from what ive gathered k-pro will not work.

Then you need to do an auto-to-manual swap to reach even 150whp, there's no way around that.

The stock tranny wont handle that much?

they already get lots of trouble in the D17A1, so would not recommend doing much.

What do you mean?

MindBomber

A 7g auto transmission not only cannot handle the power you want, but they`re already prone to failure. Aside from that, you get an easy 15whp doing the manual swap.

D17A1 non-vtec - less power, but even with less power, many find it hard to get over 100k miles without starting having slipping issues, that degrade little by little or sudden trans failures.

So what trans should i get? whats the best i could get that bolts up?

MindBomber

You need to swap it to a manual, thats your only option.

Your desire for 45HP has already reached the 3000+ dollar mark.
