D16 means a "D" series engine that is a "1.6 liter" that was in the 6th gen civics

we have a D17

6th gen SI's had a B16 and Integra's had a B18

RSX's have a K20......meaning "K series" motor that is a 2.0 liter

D17A1 = DX/LX 1.7L SOHC
D17A2 = EX 1.7L SOHC VTEC-E
D17A6 = HX 1.7L SOHC VTEC-E lean-burn
D17A7 = GX 1.7L SOHC

No Problem.

you'll get no where 3 horsepower with simply a drop in filter. .5 is a better estimate as you're only increasing airflow a little bit, at the sacrifice of filtering capacity.

You might get 3 horsepower with a CAI, but thats a maybe.

ok ok, i got it..

from the website..

qoute::
What increase in horsepower should I see from a K&N replacement filter?

We perform dyno (power curve) testing on our products. Our replacement filters typically provide a 2 to 4 percent horsepower increase. Your results will vary depending on your vehicle, driving habits, load on the engine (towing for example), existing air system restriction, and other factors.

let.see.....2 to 4 percent..

if 2 percent in EX engine, means 2.5 horse power..
while 4 percent, 5.08 horse power...

the average, 3.79 horse power...
hehe, that means my car right now got approx. 130 hp, yay!

edit::
what?? using CAI will only gives u 3 horsepower? r u sure?

edit2::
holly sh**, i checked, using CAI will only increase performance from 5 to 8%
and it will costs you 3 to 5 times more from just dropping an air filter...

oh yeah, it also says that it's probably good if u reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes in order for the ECU to adjust the amount of the air flow..

now multiply your 5.08 horse power by 18%. 18% is usual drivetrain loss for horsepower and you'll get estimated wheel horsepower numbers. Also...that value will be higher than you'll really get.
