89 si
So i just picked up my 89 civic si and i cant decide what route to go with it. Would a mini me swap on the d16a6 be worth it or just invest for some jdm power. Ive looked around and noticed you can boost the d16a6 but for being so old i dont know if thats a good idea. Im still newish to the whole tuner scene so any help would be great. Later

Re: 89 si
the a6 motor is stout as a mother fucker, and they hold boost real well, i had the Z6 greddy kit on my old A6, and it worked wonders, i think after tuning and light mods, i had around 196whp, and it was damn stout....
