So Im At A Point Where I Dont Know What To Do Anymore. Ive Got Just About All The Bolt Ons I Can Think Of. I Dont Want To Swap Or Turbo Because The Car Is My Daily Driver. Im Wonderin If You Guys Could Think Of Anything Else I Could Get That Would Either Get Some More Power Or Mileage Out Of The Engine. Heres A List Of What I Got As Far As Mods.

Engine:
Denso Iridium Plugs
Aem Sri
Dc 4-1 Headers Wrapped W/ Heat Wrap/spray
Apexi Gt Catback Exhaust
Lightning Grounding Kit
Aem Power Pulleys

Suspension:
Tein Ss Coilover Dampers
Neuspeed Strut/tie Bars Front/upper/lower

Id Appreciate Your Opinions/thoughts

Swap intake manifolds (D16Y8)
Crower cam
That's all I've got

i would wait with intake manifold cause dezod may be making one. Crower cam, with AEM 5 bolt cam gear, Crower retainer kit. and a tune. should add some power. parts are like 800 and then a tune.

KINGCHILE

IF I SWAP THE CAM, IS THAT ALL I NEED TO SWAP. OR DO I NEED OTHER INTERNALS AS WELL? WHAT WOULD THE CAM DO FOR PERFORMANCE?

I have basicly the same set up only I have a VAFC2! & I love it! I didn't have to spent thousands on a swap or turbo. But IMO VTEC sounds MEAN in my car and I have power all the way to red line. Also the car pulls O' so smooth! I love it! I put down 118WHP @ 112WTQ


For what it's worth!

with the Crower cam they also reccomend the Crower valve spring & retainer kit also a 5 bolt cam gear can be better with adjustments

^^^yep also something to tune it with (VAFC2, E-Mang, OR EMS)

tuner04civic

iTrader: (14)

yeah im planning on doing this in dec. i want to do it with emanage.

P.O.S.B.A.S.04

what is a VAFC2 and where might one purchase this item?

edit: searched with not luck

edit 2: would the Intake Manifold for the D16Y8 require much modification?

^^^Depends on the mods you have^^^^


not 100% true!

P.O.S.B.A.S.04

all i have right now is an intake, custom exhaust, header.

tuner04civic

iTrader: (14)

yeah it does depend. wont do much. i think emanage may give you more bang for the buck. but most do it with a turbo.

02BLKCIVIC

iTrader: (8)

Yep all depends on what the future plans for the car is! I'm gona buy the stage 2 cam and tune it with a VAFC2 . & see what #'s I put down!

P.O.S.B.A.S.04

if it is not too much trouble, keep us updated on that, i am interested in seeing the numbers! edit: to black02civic

Will do! wait till tax return comes back!

This http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=255371 turned me off the E-Mang rout!

KINGCHILE

Would I Need Pistons As Well?

Graphicdude

Why not do a body kit?

P.O.S.B.A.S.04

i think he wants to make it faster, not slower why add more weight to an already slow car (on a large scale)? boo on the body kit unless you are doing it for a show car, maybe a lip kit though, just to improve the car's aethetics.

No need to raise compression.

Stage 1 cam ok on stok internals.
Stage 2 springs & retainer required.
Stage 3 Full race set up pistons & full internals recomended.

Hey hey. Who ever REPED me THX! Next time leave your name so I could rep back!


There needs to be a little more unity with this sight!

KINGCHILE

MY QUESTION WAS ON HOW TO GET MORE HP OR FUEL MILEAGE OUT OF THE ENGINE NOT WHAT WOULD MAKE IT LOOK BETTER.

P.O.S.B.A.S.04

watch out graphicdude, he told you!!!

i think what everyone is going to continue tell you is to upgrade your INTERNALS! that's about it!!

^^^^Good Idea!^^^^

well are you going N/A or forced induction. if Na do stage 3 cams or stage 2 na cams. youcan get pistons and rods for a higher compression for more power. but will be alot of $$$$for those mods and installing and tuning.

we should be more united and not flame for a certin mod. each person is an artist in there own way. if we were all the same doing the same mods what fun would that be.
