Carbed Civic

[Giorgos]

hey ppl. so i've got a 1990 civic carb 1.3l DX. (european market) So i'm not from the US so engine swaps are preeetty difficult here. I was wondering what N/A mods can i do on this D13 engine to get a fair gain from it..about 140bhp?!

good luck getting 140 out if a 1.3l motor. that sucks that you can't swap that out. maybe look into a different car if your wanting to make power.

yeah ur pretty much SOL on that. it would be better to get a newer gen, one that u can actually mod out

well a new car is a bit expansive for me right now. well i've seen NA d13/14's modded up to 170hp. was thinking of a z6 head...racing cams for that...exhaust manifold...and bigger carbs.....what else can i mod on this thing?

[92civic_hatch]

z6's are fuel injected, so i don't think that would be too easy to put on.

id just do the basics, intake,ingnition, exaust ..etc.
