Smile What’s missing

im building an all motor d16y7. I’ve got a 99 Honda Civic Dx mint condition. 100,000 on the motor and 50,000 on tranny. I’ve got about 2500 worth of upgrades other then brakes what am I missing. I’ll be taking the a/c off and the little things but other then that what else Can I do. I’m in an area where there’s not a lot of car people not a lot of tuning going on. So idk how an engine swap would go with Little to no help And I don’t want to hunt down another car. The fact is it’s been so taken care of before me one owner a hard old lady who babied it.

Re: What’s missing

So far what's missing is details:
What exactly are you asking?
List the parts you purchased?

Bolt-ons won't provide power gains for that engine.

Is the 16 in your name (Masond16) your age? if so I recommend you obtain more driving experience before adding power to your engine.

Otherwise start with upgrading suspension parts first: Quality set of coilover's, wider rims and tires, stabilzer bars to reduce body roll.

Engine you'll want to decide on either naturally aspirated or turbo. For N/A to obtain 200hp you'll need an engine swap to B-series (DOHC). The D-series in your car can be boosted (turbo) and 200 hp is safely obtainable on stock internal as long as you do a lot of research on how-to and which quality parts to purchase. Both N/A and turbo for 200 hp will need a socketed,chipped and basemap ECU and then further tuned on a dyno.

Those parts you linked won't do anything to provide gains on a D-series engine. The tires and coilovers should be okay..though read reviews on Honda sites about them.

Suspension.
Skip the front anti roll bar, I removed my stock bar while beefing up my rear bar.

Quoting an old ad, power is nothing without traction.
