i have a 1996 civic hx i bought like 1 month ago and it had the y8 tranny but no 3rd or 5th got a new one and clutch that is being put in at this minute but i heard alot of things about the y5 head that it can make more power then a y8 or z6 but it sounds like work and alot of money so should i keep the head or swap to a y8 or z6 and if so what do i need my intake manafoild on the y5 is bigger then a 2000 si or is it junk and the y8 or z6 manafoil better?
best to swap to a y8 head. while the y5 has potential, no one has ever done any r&d to create products to make use of that potential. so save yourself some headache and go with a y8 head.
the 2000si had a b16a2. you can not use a b-series manifold on a d-series engine. stick with a y8 intake manifold.
Mods: full tsudo catback exhaust,cai,,17inch black rims with polished lip, Eibach "sportline" lowering springs, type r headlights, rockford fosgate "power" 6.5's & 6/9's, pioneer deck, t2 15" Subwoofer powered by fosgate T15004 amplifier, dc sports 4-2-1 headers, no cat

haynes books are garbage for reference material. lots of their "facts" are wrong and based on several generations of numerous cars (eg-your book covers civics, integras, & crv's). they are a decent reference for doing simple engine work, but when it comes to the nitty-gritty, it's garbage.
i'm going to go ahead and ignore the rest of your statement after haynes

Since i don't know what mods you have I assume you have the usual bolt ons. and if the other person has any driving skill whatsoever, you wouldn't have beat him. You may have beat a bad driver, not the car.

check my profile for my car
your car has 115/104 at 2370lbs .......the Si has 160/111 at 2612lbs......even if the torque is close which it really isn't that close.....your gearing compared to the Si is nothing.
Si 1/4 time: approx.....15.6
Hx 1/4 time: approx....16.8
The car will beat your car PERIOD, like i said before thats assuming you have just regular bolt ons.
get the fuck out of here when i go to the track si runs 15.9 stock that 15.7 or what 15.6 what ever thats with a professional driver doing like 50 runs and yea the stock hx is slow but my car weghts about 1900-2000 lb and i have about 150 or more to the wheels and i have a ex tranny no hx tranny the hx tranny is geared to high when a si hates vtec it starts to pull but im right there i get a si in 3rd i ran a 15.4 my frist time im hopeing to hate 15.0 this summer with my new clutch and new tranny that wuz bulit but what i am saying i never lost to one yet atleast but yea mayb one wioth vtec controller and all the normal bolt ons and cams yea but the fasts all motor mods i seen wuz like in the 15s so what kinda car u got?
, all i have is a cai and im running like 13's on the 1/4 lol. just kidding my y5 sucks when it comes to finding performance parts.........
