Ok i drive a 98 civic ex AUTO.... what bolt ons do you all think i could get the most HP from? and is there anything i can do to tune the engine to squeeze a few more horses out of it?
I've finally decided to do engine work, and i can't decide what to get lol.

 

honestly... your going to get a lot of responses that say "swap it"

your most fun mod will be tranny swap =]

the basics... intake/header/exhuast. thats normally the first things people do. increase the air flow and let it breath alittle better.

yep swap out the motor and tranny...or swap out the tranny and get a turbo kit

 

NITROUS!!!!!!

 

 

I like the way CHAHONDA thinks, he did that for me and i love it.

 

If you're intent on building the SOHC motor, you will at least need to swap trannies. The automatic will not withstand any type of significant power increase.

 

im buildin an EX...but im manual...if it were stick i'd say stick w/ it but swappin the tranny'd be a bitch, so swap the motor.

 

He'd still have to swap the tranny too. New motor/transmission is your best bet.
