my 99 is on a distinguished road
first steps to my d16y8

should i keep it, or save for a b16, but if i keep it what should i first to do it, my first thoughts were going with the bolt on's, headers, cold air, high flow cat, cat-back, new wires, whats a good estimet ill gain with just thos bolt on's in hp with a stock d16y8.

What are your goals?

Bolt ons will not give your D-series noticeable power. Boost will.

My biased opinion would be to boost the D.

You won't get more than about 115-120whp with bolt-ons. However I'm anti-b16. Thats a lot of money to spend for 30hp and a motor that most people refer to as the torqueless wonder. If swapping, a b18 is most likely a better choice.

you wont notice too much with bolt ons and d series engine combined. make a plan first. theres a lot of engines out there you can choose from as long as you have the money, swapping out the D series with a b series will make a hella difference.

minor bolt-ons will only net you a few Proven hp here and there. if your looking for cheap power you could always spray it... and then be forced to get a b-series!!!
