Ok so i have a 98 honda civic lx 5spd with a d16y7 in it right now. Only thing ive done to it so far is put an aftermarket exhaust 4-2-1 with (2.25 piping) and just a cold air intake...I know not much at all, but thats why im here asking.
Ive seen these type of cars get at least 200whp, I just havent had the pleasure of asking how the hell someone got that kind of power in such a little car.
Ive heard of mini me swaps, and know someone who will sell a y8 head to me for dirt cheap. but want to make sure it would be a good decision. Also read a little bit about the obd1 conversion, but again not that much knowledge on it. Im going to be redoing the suspension as well, and the brakes soon enough, but im not gonna worry about it till i can get it to the specs that I need.
Basically I wanna do as much as I can to it while I still have it even though the gf is a hater
I dont really care what it takes, to rip apart the engine, I have a place I can do it, and I can def put my time towards it as well. Just need to know some good items to buy but at a good price (yep on that budget plan, haha) Anyways drop some knowledge on me, and I will be happy to try anything.
But anyone know how to get rid of the O2 sensor CEL? I put a non fouler in there that the sensor could screw directly on there, but im getting intermittent CEL from it...any suggestions?
