honda civic 1.6sir v-tec

[lala_1981]

hi the civic i have is the dy16 sohc v-tec there supposed to be 126 bhp all ive done is put a stainless backbox on just wondering what other mods i could do to get a bit more power

[RossB_eg4]

Turbo or supercharger. (D series like boost)

If your staying NA i'd go for a crower stage 2 cam (About the only cam i know for single cam D's), high comp pistons and a set of throttle bodies.

Or stick a B16 or a B18c/c6 in and have fun

thanx for the info ive bin told u get good bhp if u turbo these engines but i think hondas are better na ill have to see witch 1 will be the cheapest thanx again mate

[lala_1981]

just a quick question how hard is it to do the b16 conversion

[vz-r_dave]

sell it and buy an SIR vtec eg dude, that is your cheapest and easiest option.

[lala_1981]

is it the twin cam version cause my civic is the 1.6sir vtec

[RossB_eg4]

If your car has a D16y8 in it then it's either a n esi or an import si, most likely an esi tbh

SiR are the top of the range model with the B16a,

You could drop a B16a into yours without much hassle if it's already vtec compatible wiring harness. All you needs the b16 and all the ancillaries and ecu

If it has a D16 engine then your car is not an SiR. The 1995 EG6 SiR has a B16 engine, 160bhp.

Sounds like a MB shape civic of some sort as well if you say its the same shape as a rover 400 (From my quick search of the interweb, i had no clue what a rover 400 looked like)

Post a picture of the car and engine bay an we'll tell you what you own, does the V5 not entail such detail though?
