I'm sorry if this has been posted or not. I have searched it and found nothing, and I don't have the patience to look harder because I think my '01 coupe is totalled. ANYWAY... Does the 2006 EX sedan have the exact same engine as the 7th gen EX engine??? Are there any differences?

nope. 8th gen has an r18.

Yeap. Completely different motor. its 140HP.

adamzeppelin

How does it differ from the d17? Can you mod more easily, or do we have the same issue because its an SOHC?

when I say more easily, I mean do we get better results or is it minimal like the d17? (the d17 EX motor supposedly has 130 right?)

Probaby the same as the d17 in modding potential, except that the cat is like inside the engine.

good luck there are prolly two mods out for it now.

adamzeppelin

Well, do you think that it has its potential in the mod market at least? Do you think it might be a better engine than the d17?

not by much. its basically got 10 more hp. its still very slow and even harder to mod because there is no header.

adamzeppelin

NO HEADER??? What the Hell? explain please?

just go to 8thgencivic.com and ask that question

adamzeppelin

my bad...you either know the answer and are being a bit of a jerk, or you don't and you being a bit of a jerk. I have a 7th gen now, but some a**hole hit me from behind going 40mph in a Ford F250...needless to say my black beauty is crunched. I was just asking a simple question, and really, it was directed to gearbox...so thanks for your suggestion but I think you should be a bit more courteous.

ya we dont know as much here. all i know is just go look under the hood and you'll realize the problems. it goes from the head directly to the cat and piping. no actual header piece.

adamzeppelin

its the same issue that the d17a1 owners have though, but at least we can swap ours out with the exahust from a d17a2 to make it more efficent, just extend the o2 sensors, and i doubt anyone will do this for the r18 because then you have to buy like a 1000 of stuff header , cat, exhaust, plus the install on it to extend the 02 sensors will be a touch more, but right there are mainly intakes out_aem injen, fujita), if you dont count the drop springs(tein eibach) , but also thats 10 more the ex 7thgen and 25 more then the lx

i just test drove one with high expectations and it just didnt feel like a civic anymore. nothing is where it should be?
