What have you done to your engine?
Hey, I wanted to know how to get more power out of a stock D16Y7 engine on an 2000 civic hatchback. What can I replace? Headers, intercoolers, intakes? What are your ideas for getting more power out of it? And what mods have you done to your car? Thanks.
Re: What have you done to your engine?
Do some research, but 9 out of 10 people are going to tell you to not waste your money. SOHC motors have extremely high diminishing returns per dollar. $2000 in a D16 will get you to about 160hp, whereas you can buy a B18C1 motor for $2000 (probably less, those motors are a dime a dozen), which starts at 170hp. Don't **** cash on a Honda unless you have a very specific goal in mind and a budget to stick by.
