I have a 93 civic SOHC VTec 5spd. I was wondering how much power to the ground would I have with the following mods? DC 4-2-1 header, AEM style cold air intake, 12.5lbs ACT Sreet light flywheel, 2.5" custom exhaust with Megan racing muffler, OBX intake manifold, RH racing crank pulley that weighs 6 ounces, vtec head with port & polish skunk2 stage 2 cam, crower springs and titanium retainers. And will I need to upgrade my fuel system and or install a piggy back system?

i'd say that with good fuel/ignition tuning you could but out 140 whp with that setup - how much will all of that cost you - and remember, dyno tuning can get pricy.
if it costs 3k or more, you'd be better off getting an engine swap |
Or, go with a Greddy turbo for the same price as all those mods and have somethin better than a motor swap (stock motor swap)
|
all of that will either cost around or more than a turbo i say boost that biatch
|
Well I already had the exhaust, intake and header when I bought the car. The head cost me $400, pulley was $125, Intake manifold was $125 and flywheel was $215 total of $650

30million whp
there are lots of factors...slap it all on and then go to a dyno...tell us your results until then, I will stick to my pro estimate of 30million whp |

That is a very specific estimate, please o ever knowledgamble guru of honda tek, how did you do it? Lol, i bet you used the HP and 1/4mile calculator at Stangnet - that pos is about as good at calculating that stuff as a ford is at not being Found On Road Dead. |
u got a pretty good start on a build there- skunk 2 didnt come out wit the st2 cam for the z6 yet afaik. i tried to install the stage 1 in my z6 and the lobes were too big and hit shit on the inside of my head so i called skunk and talked to a tec and he said i was the 2nd person to have this problem and that i should just have the areas where it hit shaved- so just check to see that whatever cam u get spins b4 turning the car on. stock fuel system should be fine- maybe get a fpr if u want. def get some sort of tuning- like vafc- it will help alot. if u really wanna see some sweet gains outta this motor u gotta raise the compression. check out the srp 10.5 comp pistons and maybe some econo forged rods- for like 700 u can have a mean ass forged internal motor- if that aint in your budget get some integra ls rods shotpeened and some pistons from a d16a6. bring your compression to around 11 and cost like 300buck. ps. get the hondata im gasket- its 60 bucks and made a noticable difference in temp between the mani and the head on my car

MUST BEAT A STANG GT
sorry for lack of input. I say save money for boost. 1000-1200$ and its seriously not hard. |
Dude, If your going to invest all that money into the stock engine, it would be alot better just going ahead with an engine swap...You get a swap then on down the road do those same mods to a b16, and you'll be smiling everytime you drive!

Fuk the cams. Turbo it and get turbo cams later. Props for building up that SOHC tho.

That's what boosting a honda is all a bout - Dont touch the valvetrain or bottom end (cept for a thicker head gasket if needed), just slap a turbo on it and tear up the road! |
