2 basic options, boost or swap. or nitrous if all you want is temporary power.
SWAP!!!!
if you wanna keep your d16, turbo that mofo
swap....
the b swap...in my opinion is way too overrated. When someone hears D16 or d17....the first thing that comes to mind is a b series motor swap. I've seen some single cammers deal some heavy damage...and they did it for alittle more than a b series swap. My friend from 7th gen civic has a d16 with a beefed up block and nitrous that runns in the 12's. And he did only that for less than the b swap. If you acount for the money he spent for tranny mods and the other basic ones...you have a deal that is much better than doing the swap. Ofcourse you could take a b16 or b18, do the same mods( pistons, rods, FI, etc...) and get much more than doing the same to a D series, but you have to put the budget factor in. Just my .02 or a dollar....i say keep the sohc cuz I'd like to see more single cammers take it to v8's, 12-13 range easily.
