fuse=--action Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm looking at making some modifications to my engine sometime eventually (I'm really non-commital) and was wondering what knowledge my fellow 12oz'ers might have to offer. This is what comes up when you google "up in here" What? -fuse. p.s. Sorry for biting your style boogie hands, just thought that my post was too short.

Weapon X Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 That's a pretty broad question. What kind of car? What kind of money you dealing with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuse=--action Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 See that's the thing, this could happen as far away as a couple years. I'm mostly interested in performance. So I guess I would be interested in what the least expensive upgrade for the best amount of horsepower would be. A sort of "more bang for your buck" affair. I'm really hoping that the answer to this question isn't one of those goddamn exhaust systems, I hate those. And yeah, it's a ricer (but I still like it), '95 Civic. And yes, I'm fully aware that stickers add massive horsepower. -fuse. *edit, flames too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 '95 Civic. Assuming "performance" == go fast in a straight line, the best bang for your buck would be B18B1 (Integra LS) swap -> turbo it approx 7psi, don't forget to get it tuned. Should hold up fine on stock internals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shameless self promotion Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 J is on point. Just dont forget that your suspension set up, transmission and etc is what puts that power to the pavement.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLIK$ Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 i would just get a b16a1 have it bored to b18 specs and run boost. or you could go LSVTEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the shitz Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Well, little mods that tune your car can add some horsepower. For example get the synthetic oil at your next oil change, replace your old spark plugs with platinum spark plugs. Getting these sparkplugs will slightly improve horsepower and mileage per gallon. The engine swap is a little expensive but if you have the cash I would definitly say to get it. Get a cold air intake, but i would say, dont get an exhaust.

j Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I guess I should have also mentioned it's probably the easiest way to make a decent amount of power over stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the shitz Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 yup! oh hey, are engine swaps possible with the rsx and civic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLIK$ Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 you can swap any engine into any car, just depends on how much work youre looking to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yes, the K-series will swap in with a mount kit, but your total cost is going to be much higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuse=--action Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Well I'm back, I appreciate the input from all of you. I'll probably save up for a while because I don't know how long I'll have this car (my kid sister starts driving soon, and I hear rumors that my car might be given to her and replaced by something nice with a manual transmission) so I don't want to do anything to it quite yet. But it's good to know a sort of ballpark figure on what I'm saving for. -fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10 Dollar Blowjobs Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 yea man get rid of the 95 civic, your better off starting with another platform. 96 preludes are one of the fastest hondas stock, and those h22s can take a beating. also integras are a good base to start from, most crazy civics have integra motors in em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup BDC Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 FUCK THAT. Take your civic and use it as a donor car to build a Locost, You'll be out of owning wheels for a good 20 months, but three thousand dollars later you'll have the greatest thing alive. *edit: I'm not gonna lie, I just want another 12 ozer to take on this venture so I don't feel so crazy. example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
