im plannin to spend about 5k on my civic lx 99' d16y7 automatic. so far, i have a short ram intake... and thats it, i dunno which parts to get, im plannin on changing the headers, catalytic converter, exhaust system, intake manifold and you guys fill in the rest. im trying to get it at least 130 if possible with that much amount without a turbo. any advice will do .

headers, full exhaust, SUPERCHARGER, and you will still have money left over

dude with 5grand ... you could make that y7 fly !! i got a 97 y7 auto with stripped interior .... i just swapped the t/b , intake manifold ... and a 99 ex cold air intake ... next is headers, full 2.5 exhaust , new cam , msd igniton goodies , and some other go fast parts

thanks for the info, also, id like to know if a b18c intake manifold will bolt on correctly onto my engine? and if it is worth getting?

 

[S Q A D]

no it will not bolt on your engine... you can use a GSR t/b though that will probally bolt onto a EX ( y8 ) manifold ... but not the stock one u have now ...

 

[Guest]

oh yea, n00b question here, whats the difference between supercharger and turbercharger?

 

[S Q A D]

you mean .. whats the diff between a turbo and a supercharger ? turbos use a turbine turned by exhaust gas to blow lots and lot of air into your motor and a supercharger uses a belt driven pulley instead of a metal turbine ... there are other differences but i dont feel like elaborating .. maybe some other people can explain it better ...

Turbo's are better, thats all you need to know!

JK, turbos are easier adjusted over a supercharger. ummm thats it for now!

 

[Guest]

$5000!!!??? and an automatic!?

No question.......Turbo

 

[2redstars]

i only said supercharger cuz he said no turbo. but ive heard that SC is less maintence.but i have no experience with either. b-series parts do not fit on d-series. since you sound like you just turned 16 and your parents got u a car and a bank account then just get a big narly body kit and a bunch of stickers and you'll be set :roll:

 

[S Q A D]

lol .. funny, 2redstars .... lol

nah, i worked my ass off for that 5k as for the car, it was a gift. all i have to say is that i hate buses :-/ and am truly grateful for my car. come on, how many here can say theyve worked at a nursing home, earned and saved 5 k? its a tough job keepin the elderly entertained

 

[S Q A D]

then props for saving that money up and puttin up with those old people .. whenever i get paychecks ... HA !! they dont stay in my pocket for long ...

 

[2redstars]

ok then, do alot of research, figure out what YOU want and try to do some of the work yourself so you learn about the car your driving.

 

[Guest]

If I were you I'd go the turbo route

 

[Rexinre]

^ I second that, if you need help, well that is why we are here!

 

[S Q A D]

he did say no turbo didnt he ?? well then build an all motor y7 ... that'll be fast im sure .. then take 500 bucks out of your budget and get nitrous after your build the motor !

 

[Rexinre]

That will work too^^^

 

[Guest]

thanks guys, alright ive been reading up so apparently i can switch my parts with y8 parts? someone please elaborate on this. and if so, whats a good site/place where i can order used parts that are in good condition? or new parts which ever.

 

[S Q A D]

this site .. people are always selling used y8 parts for cheap cheap ... just check the classified forum ... and try lookin in junkyards ... start to scour junkyards and try to find the best parts u can .. never buy the first thing u see .. not a good idea ... chances are some other junkyard will have the same piece for a cheaper
