99 Civic si mods?

[trdsmoke]

My friend just bought a used blue 99 civic si. It has an intake, exhaust, and lowering springs. Do any of you honda guys have any ideas what he should do next, with out having to spend $1000?

[lownslow95]

If it was over $1,000 I would say go with a turbo, but since he doesn't want to spend $1,000 I don't know what to tell you. Tell him to go to hondatech.com and try there.

well wat is he looken for speed? or looks?

[trdsmoke]

i think we wants more of speed right now. He already had new headlights and lip kit. He just wants a lil extra out of it.

cam gears, type r cams and valvetrain.
you can even get a set of aftermarket cams (S2 Stage 1's or BC's) for less than 800 bucks.

just have to install and tune then. would make a great daily.

He should install a few kill switches, pager alarm, two wheel boots, and a removable steering wheel to start. Unless of course he does not want the car anymore.

or that too.

[jdm free]

type r cams really dont improve performance that much n u can get some aftermarket cams for a lil bit more

definitly beef up security in some way tho

sell the motor and put in a ls vtech or a b20 vtec...1.6 is a grat motor but need to put alot of $$$ to make it fast

X20 ;)

[trdsmoke]

he already has an alarm, and wheel lock all around. I tell him about the steering wheel though. I know he dosen't want a new motor because he had to already get a new trany. He dosen't want to do major work on it like that. But what about headers?

Just so you know when I said wheel locks I am talking about the boot. I put two on my car when I drive to philly or nj. Does not stop theives but makes their life a little harder in hopes they go to an easier target.

As far as bolt ons I would save up for turbo kit or you can go cheep speed and get some N02. But to make decent power out of an all motor car it will cost you more then a well pieced together turbo kit.

if you boost it with reasonable power and have it tuned properly it wont be bad. a friend of pearl's had a stock ls motor pushing out just 290/285, running 11's. it was daily driven for several years without any problems.

keeping it n/a will be slower if he decides to turbo it

btw i would put building an ls/vtec under the category of 'building' the motor

[2000MRDC2]

like i told u before tell him to do a decent header (rage/hytech/..) and maybe a set of cams and cam gears he doesnt want anything too aggressive. Whatever u do dont do a Skunk2 stage 1 unless its a Pro 1, my friend has regular 1's on his gsr and they didnt really do anything. if hes gonna do skunk2 cams do a Pro 1 or a stage 2.

sean actually made 300whp on a completely stock LS motor. 17 pounds of boost. thing was a monster and was daily driven.

a turbo kit. plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
hell you could run a nitrous shot too.
buddy ran 13.6 on a LS nitrous setup. for a daily driven car; that's fast to me.

if you can find a GSR bottom end that would be fun too, but for 1000 bucks you can piece together a nice turbo kit and run 11's like chris said.
i always wanted to do a b16 turbo, higher horsepower, more compression than an stock LS, higher rpm's and low tq = great street car. think about it.

a 1.8 to 2.2 liter motor will produce more torque than the b16 motor.
massive torque + street tires = spin.
less tq + more horsepower =
revving to 8500 rpm's @ 14 pounds sounds like a dream to me

people need to stop reading forums and reply with what they read from other people...

haha revving to 8500 on 14lbs..dnt get me wrong that would be fun for about 6 months till u throw a piston out the hood...all im saying is if u want a reliable DD setup keep the head, keep the tranny, sell the bottom end do a ls or b20 bottom end its almost as easy as a turbo install...u can over rev a b20 or LS vtec...8500 14lbs ahhhh
