anyways, i'm getting my gsr motor installed Friday, May 20th and it's going into a 98 civic EX (previously a d16y8)...i have decided to go N/A. i have several questions and asking for your opinions on these...
Will the short ram from the d16 fit on the gsr motor? (i heard the manifold on the gsr's are funky)
For headers: 4-2-1 or 4-1 ? (i was thinking DC ss)
For cat-back full exhaust system: magnaflow (have heard good things about sound and HP gains)
Tires/wheels: currently on 16" konigs with Firestone FUZION racing tires
..probably a VAFC
-lookin for any suggestions, thx
-I highly doubt the short ram would fit.
-It's header and DC sports sucks. I would go for a JDM ITR 4-1 header. You will see better gains and it is of much higher quality.
-When I think of magnaflow, I think of white trash truck exhaust. Get a quality system like Greddy or Apexi.
-You don't need a VAFC for bolt ons. Add cams and then it will be a good idea.
A search of the best bolt ons will give you tons of ideas since these topics have been covered hundreds of times.
