you want an all motor set-up or turbo set-up?

Start with the basic's. There is tons of stuff you can do to your motor. Most people get an intake, headers, exhaust, cam gears, cat converter, ignition. Check out auto-transform.com. I get all my s**t there. They hook it up.

IMO i would start with the bolt ons, which are easy to do and you'll learn as you do it. It will give you a feel for what power feels good where for you then when you become more familiar with your engine you can decide wether you want to build it or force it or swap it.

I would also say you should start with some bolt-ons. Depending upon how many miles you have on your engine now, and how strong it still runs. Take a second to decide exacty where you want to go with the project, a good plan with save you tons of money in the long run.

is this hatch of ur vtec?manual?

 

[civicWAY2FAST4U]

well if ur goin to go all out and buy a header, intake, cam, and all this other good stuff, i would atleast do a b16a swap. this way its dohc, has some more power, better for build ups, and i think i may be wrong and prolly am but i think it comes with limited slip, if u buy tranny and all.

 

[civicWAY2FAST4U]

i think the swap would be the best bet for u at a beginner level. but it also depends on what kind of money u want to spend right now.

hey newb, either edit your posts to put all your stuff into 1 post, or just think a little slower and put all your thoughts into one post and one time
