You can change a few parts or get a HONDADATA Flashpro for Re-Flashing Your DX Civics ECU yes expensive but so are performance parts and Labour inst. it will work well on Your DX. better gains are on a SI & 1.5 Turbo, or more so Yet ultimatley on a 2018 Type R.! If You want to leave it stock as is with-out replacing Parts...? then get the ECU re-Flashed.! using HondaData Flashpro.

hey guys i caled my local london honda this week enquiring about the hondadata reflash they told me if i wanted to come in and get it reflashed it would cost me just over 1.100 dollars i enquired about h.p gains he said we have not done a lot of them on civics but the few they have done gained some great results on power gains 1 owner called back and said his cars engine was alot more robust on power.! im seriosly thinking of getting it done and adding a cold air intake for added power.

Consider lower restriction exhaust mods to complement the cold air intake. The combination gives the car a considerable responsiveness boost.

-intake
-header
-exhaust
-camshaft if you can find one (not sure if they're commonly produced from mod companies, for that engine)
-weight reduction

That's True the cheaper version to hondadata would be using something like a KTuner re-flash that's identical & little cheaper. still i like the hondadata more so its got diagnostics built in for diagnosing, something that KTuner dont.
