i have a 2000 civic dx 5 speed i bought it a week ago for 500 bucks with a fried clutch......this is my first civic build so where should i start....im looking around 250hp as a DD nothing crazy heres a few pics of her as she sits right now
new here..heres my build just now starting
- Thread starter 00_civic757
- Start date
welcome!! 250hp on a single cam gotta go turbo then other wise you gonna spend way too much money...lol
oh yea i planned on it i have something in the works right now a friend of mine has a T3/T4 greddy set up hes gonna let me get off of him for 200 but i have to get s**t right before i boost her ya know
dudeeee i loveee that color o.o
thanks man i do too just painted it 3 days ago
Not to bad at all for the price. Welcome to CC
yea i couldnt pass it up the best thing about it is that when i bought the car and took it home a brand new exedy stage 1 clutch w/ flywheel was sitting in the trunk...the prev. owner forgot it was in there...saved me 200 bucks already..lol couldnt beat it
250 Hp ???
Your car looks good so far...I love the color, what color blue is it ???
250 HP ??? That's going to be hard to acheive, with the stock motor, even fully built turbo...I'd swap it for a dual cam LS/Vtec or B20Vtec, and turbo it, and you could easly hit your 250 HP mark...or if you're a baller, go with a k20 set up...K20A, I/H/E, K-Pro = 220 WHP alone...Which either way you decide to go, goodluck on your build...

what are you smokin? i'm pretty sure a built and boosted d16 can make more than 250hp. 400whp on pump gas is not even far fetched
anyways, moving this to members rides
its a midnight blue and how much would a LS/Vtec swap would be?.....that the GSR motor correct?
LS block with a Vtec head of either the SI or GSR is most common
yeah...
A friend of mine built a Turbo LS (B18B) swapped 98 coupe...with a stock bottom end, and about 7, or 8 lbs. of boost and put down 250 hp and almost 200 lbs of TQ...
But that's just my
...Like I said which ever way you decide...good luck with eveything...
I am not going to get into a pissing contest, with you over some BS...I know a 250 hp D-series in acheiveable...But look at the GAY torque numbers that he will have...I was just saying that it would be way easier to acheive his 250 hp, with a B-series turbo, and he'd have higher torque numbers...what are you smokin? i'm pretty sure a built and boosted d16 can make more than 250hp. 400whp on pump gas is not even far fetched

damn man, that's a great deal, especially since a new clutch was in the trunk. I'd say, for the money, go with the turbo. depending on the mileage on the motor, you can do 250hp pretty quickly without blowing your motor. and since your getting a good deal on the turbo, you can put some money into the bottom end a bit just to give you peace of mine, and so you can run more boost, that way you don't only reach your goal, but make it easier when you decide to set a new goal of say 300 or more hp.
midnight blue looks awesome.
good luck with your build, and welcome

on the contrary if he were to build the d with the money he'd spend on JUST doing a b swap hed have way more power and alot more torque. d series produce more torque when compared to the b series. stick with the y8 and turbo it. Dont know the exact name of the pistons but theres a suzuki suv that has low compression pistons with the same bore as the d series (75 mm). use them and you could easily throw 25+ lbs of boost at that motor safelty if you build it right. 7.8:1 compressoin ratio

yea im trying to get some GSR FAT 5's and lower it like 1in or 1.5in if anybody has some GSR fat 5's let me know
