1998 Honda Civic with D16y8 Performance

Hey! So I just got this car. And I’m curious what some simple performance upgrades would be? It already has a cold air Intake, 4-1 Exhaust Header and a high flowing exhaust setup. Thank you!

Re: 1998 Honda Civic with D16y8 Performance

well...tbh the simple stuff is out of the way...now just to put the high flow exhaust to use with some internal upgrades like a better cam...make sure your springs are up to snuff for a new cam though...you get a new cam might as well go all the way and p/p the head...replace valves/seals/springs/retainers/guides...timing belt with a strong one...i prefer gates "racing" belts...adjustable cam gear....hell...go ahead and toss a stroker kit on it...oooo....H/B/K SWAP!!! while you are at it...turbo..no...TWIN TURBO!!!....OMG Becky!!! i just came....was it as good for you as it was for me...lol

if that's going too deep for simplicity...which it's not the most simple...then you can just swap the intake manifold and throttle body for a higher/smoother flow intake along with better injectors...that's stuff that doesn't require taking too much of the engine apart....make sure the ECU is tuned for the mods done and to be done...that's important....if the car doesn't know what to do with the change then it will go in full retard mode...and we all know you never go full retard..-Kirk Lazarus (the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude)

something always ALWAYS over looked when putting more power in cars is the tires....it doesn't matter how fast you can go if you can't get going...


***DISCLAIMER*** my opinions are just that...my opinions...they do not always reflect your opinion...no matter how much I argue that they do
