1.4 honda civic inspire s

[pavel1109]

Can you do much to a 1.4 engine ?
I want to make it faster an louder but im not too sure what parts to buy so any help would be usefull

Just get a Type R. You're not going far with tuning a Civic 1.4

I cant get insured on it, too expensive
but its my dream owning it
so for now i was just wondering if a 1.4 could get tuned

I'm not a massive Honda guru but I can google a inspire S and think that means you have a mk7/ EP shape civic.

In which case there isn't really a huge amount of parts out there, you may find looking on some of the JAZZ/honda Fit forums that people mod the 1.4 but from what i can tell the 1.5l is the one people go for.

Sad to say that beyond perhaps a induction kit and exhaust to make more noise more than power, you're not likely to see any mega gains without spending far far too much, or doing an engine swap.

I appreciate you taking your time to do your research, it was helpfull.
I guess im stuck with having to buy the ep3 type r an hope for the best when insuring it

If you really like Civics but a Type R is a step too far due to insurance costs, there is a Type S model which has 160hp/ 0-60 in around 8 seconds

A 1.4 is listed as potentially being in insurance group 9-15 on a scale of 50 , a Type S is 22, a Type R is 34 so you could be surprised.
