HSTuners - View Single Post - is this a good choice for moderate hp gains ?

civic lx = D16Y7 = 106hp = not very fast.
to tell you the truth, instead of getting a JRSC, id save my money and swap engines - considering how you say you want more power. and a JRSC isnt going to give you worthwhile power for its price on a D16Y7.
however if you are set on keeping your engine. AEM CAI, Kamikaze header (better for FI than a DC unit), and a tanabe RM or an HKS unit. i dont suggest the 5Zigen Fireball exhaust due to the fact its form over function. it goes OVER the rear LCA and is at an angle - unnecessary bends = performance restricting.

however, if i were you, id save my money - get an exhaust and just some other non engine oriented stuff. and then go with a B series motor swap.
