Re: Im New here, need opinions

go for it... I got my 97 for less than $2000, and after a $1200 paint job it's a really nice car, but if you get a Civic and like modifying it, you'll end up spending a bunch of money (I have)... get some new wheels though haha To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Re: Im New here, need opinions

omg.. cam gears only move the power band around on a single cam. and only make power with a dyno. and what does suspension have to do with horsepower? seriously dude if you think a intake and exhaust will give you 35hp you dont belong anywhere near a car.

Re: Im New here, need opinions

I am well aware that i cant nearly make 35hp off of that, but it is just a start. i need a basic plan and price for making that car somewhat noticeably faster

Re: Im New here, need opinions

If you're going for power, don't waste your money with those bolt ons on your D series... just pick up a B16A, they aren't too much money nowadays and there's 60% more horsepower, plus if you're motor already has 232,000 miles on it you probably don't want to be pushing it too hard anyway...

I have intake, exhaust, and an EX (Y8) manifold on my D-series and it still sucks, trust me

Re: Im New here, need opinions

and cam gears only moving the power around on a single cam is completely wrong by the way... JREJ8, you need to do some reading

Re: Im New here, need opinions

lol yeah on a stock cam. it moves the power band around man. your not going to make any more power with a cam gear on a single cam. you cant advance the intake or the exhaust individually. hence advancing will move your powerband lower and retarding moves it higher (but dosent change your red line) on duel cams you can change the relation between the two which can yeild some power gains with stock cams. but you need to have a dyno to find them.

Re: Im New here, need opinions

aftermarket single cams can be fine tuned with use of a cam gear. i dont see any benifit for it on a stock cam.
