Whats goin on guys & gals? Newb from Mn here! I know my handle is Mopar but I did just recently just pick up an auto '98 Civic EX Coupe thats fully loaded. It was 100% completely stock and unmolested with 171k miles. Since I bought it, I did replace the a bad wiper switch on the column, added WeatherTech in-channel window guards, projectors w/55w 8000k HIDs high & low. At the time of writing this, I am waiting on a AEM short ram intake w/prefilter(sock).

Gonna be a fun little project car lol

Has the original 1.6L SOHC non-vtec motor (d16y7?). Been looking to do some upgrades to it and found to upgrade the original intake mani to a Y8 or Z6 intake mani, and exhaust mani if I remember right?

The car looks nice! I can understand doing it with a CAI, but why would you bother putting a sock on a SRI? That seems a little overkill to me, since it's already so high up in the engine bay. if you have a Dryflow, it's already one of the best filters on the market!

Its essentially gonna be just for looks lol. But im confused over something and I know its kinda stupid, but im not sure if the motor is vtec or not :/ It doesnt say vtec on the valve cover, just says honda, and I thought it was the d16y7 motor but according to wikipedia:

Mine is a 98 Civic EX Coupe auto, its fully loaded from a/c to am/fm cd, power sunroof windows and locks to cruise and rear defrost but no abs because the pedal never kicked back on icy roads, just the back end likes to swing out lol. But according to the wikipedia info, mine has a d16y8 w/vtec o_0 Would be appreciated if someone could help clarify this According to the VIN, I found it was assembled in the US at the East Liberty Plant

Look here for engine code:



If the head is not original then look at the head code and compare here:

Head location here (generally above the exhaust manifold):

Well it has the Vtec solenoid, so Im assuming its a D16Y8 motor. I'll look for that engine code though
