Been considering different bolt on's.. here's my thoughts..

Intake Manifold -
JG Edelbrock Victor X - Edelbrock always made good shiz..
ITR Manifold - Cheaper

Maybe some Iridium Plugs.. and some new wires..

Thinking Denso on the plugs, not sure about good wires..

Lemme know your opinions on different products, maybe you've tried em and can speak for them..

Thanks guys..

I'd go with the intake manifold and an new TB...

PurpleHaze · 06-26-2002, 05:07 PM

get a turbo

Mafioso · 06-26-2002, 06:31 PM

was going to setup my motor for turbo but with the arizona heat, i think a supercharger would be more efficient..

Dont waste your money on a intake manifold, b16 is one of hondas most efficient manifolds, its VERY similiar to a type R. But if you want to spend $400 + for gains up to 2 HP then go for it. Oh and turbo would be find for extreme heat, an intercooler helps alot. But i would go for supercharger, more reliable i think.

HiRpmVTEC · 06-26-2002, 08:25 PM

I meant to say :Turbo would be FINE as long as u have intercooler...bla bla

kinda off topic, but in your sig it says "Black w/ Dark Grey cloth". all 6th gen civic coupes have a dark grey cloth interior. just thought you might wana know.

Mafioso · 06-27-2002, 03:01 PM

And your point being? LOL Some people have custom interiors, some people don't.. I put mine there to let others know mine is original.. I've had a few people offer me things because of the original interior but havent felt like taking those offers yet. Thanks though..

You should put black with stock interior to clarify.

I stand behind the IM and TB suggestion... but your NA tune could also benefit from a Lightened Flywheel or LSD. I plan on getting Comptech's chromoly (8.75lbs) or aluminum (6.75lbs) fly wheel when it comes time to replace my clutch.

I don't know were you're getting $400.00 I've seen intake manifolds for the civic as cheap as $250.00, both the ITR and the Skunk 2 for the B16A engine. There bascially the same manifold some people just have to have JDM everything... Not to mention that if he's planning on doing a turbo it's a good idea to upgrade or atleast port and polish the intake manifold to allow for better air-flow into the engine...
