Hello everyone,
I recently purchase a 98 honda civic hatchback and I am really intersted in making it as fast and perform as well as possible. The first thing I did was put on a high performance exhaust. From the catback back, with a Raven muffler. I,ve got a AEM V2 on order and some ground control coilovers. I would greatly appreciate anyones advice and wisdom on tuning this car for optimum performance. My engine is a D16Y7 1.6L. Please help! Thanks.

i have a 97 hb and all i did was buy a y8 head port and polished with 3 angle valve job
it was good for almost 30 hp. its not that hard to do a mini me swap

Cool. Was the y8 head port expensive and where did you get it?

swap the sucker out. what you swap with depends on how much you want to spend, what you're looking to get out of the car, blah blah blah.

Whats a good swap if I want good solid fast all motor engine? Im totally new to this. And where might I find them?

Snoopy

whats your budget?

Well, I just bought the Civic about a week ago. I guess I picked one with a crappy engine. Anyway I guess 2 maybe 3k.
