Help With Weak LX Civic

man honestly I would not run any more than a 75 shot on that stock motor. Your best bet to get the results i think you want is a turbo. I know how slow those stock civics are especially the 4 doors. its almost impossible to pass someone on the highway lol. A turbo will give you a little more getup and go. Now is it worth it? that would be for you to decide. You are looking to spend some big money in a 2000 4 door civic with no telling how many miles. If you go with a turbo get it tuned right and make sure its a good install and you shouldn't have any problems other than just normal wear and tear.
good luck
good luck
its not worth switching to manual lol that will be expensive and its something that won't make it really any faster.
yeah man your best bet is to swap motors. maybe a b18 or a k20(rsx). yeah the tranny would probably pose a problem although with a typical bolt up you probably wouldn't gain much hp. you could probably find a kit that would put you in the 150 range which you will feel a difference for sure. But go with the swap or save your money and buy another car and just use the honda for gas milage
yeah thats the problem we run into lol. hrmm those are sweet they have the k20 motor in them.
fyi NOS is a brand nitrous is the juice. and I would recomend an NX kit.
alot of people give people crap for calling it "NOS"

just remember the next time you talk nitrous use a "2" instead of an "S"... as in NO2 not NOS and you will be above the noobs. oh and there is no hyphen in VTECAsthetix said:lol, thanks for the heads up, dont want ppl chewin on my inability to be born with car knowledge.

back on topic: that nitro kit would work wonders for you d16, you may even want to upgrade it with 2 bottles or a bigger bottle for less frequent filling. then you can do sorts of things like remote bottle openers, heaters, purge system, etc...
i think you can run 87 with nitro, it actually lowers the combustion temperature in the cylinder (to the best of my knowledge)
