i recently bought this 93 civic 4 door,im not puting a body kit on the car.im just going to lower it about 2" 2-5"..and im still looking for rims.. but my main focus is the engine.its all stock what should i do?..its a 5spd.i want more power.how should i start out ?..

 

a buddy of mine just bought a 93 four door too. he just threw a tubo on the stock motor, it made a big differance. haha but i hear thats not the right way to go.
i just swapped a d16y5 V-tec into my 92 4-door and its decent, but i hear that the b18 is a way better swap. i'm pretty sure you can find b18's in integras, so look around
if you dont want to motor swap, then i guess just go for full intake and full exhaust, probebly wont do a great deal though

 

Prelude is right, but first you have to decide on what type of build you want to do i.e. turbo or n/a... cuz buying n/a parts that you will eventually replace with turbo parts is a big waste of $$.

weigh the odds and then decide. I had a 93 Civic HB that made an @ssload of power with a custom turbo build. I used a Saab Garrett T3 and did my own ECU tuning with Crome... whole build only cost me about $500 but I got the turbo for free!!!

 

he's right, deffinately decide weather you want to boost or not first, then if you decide you want to. do your homework. learn what you can about turbo setups and engine management. this is a great site for learning about boosting your car.

 

Just curious.... How many miles on this motor? Is everything "sound" on this car, body,interior and drivetrain?

Kind of new to the game with the recent purchase of a 93 DX.....Jack

 

check out the projects section of www.homemadeturbo.com


for some great options for turbo builds...

 

how much are you willing to spend? hey i say drop the body kit and get a lip kit. just so the car isnt so ricey but looks good. drop it 2" and if you have a decent amount of cash you can drop a motor in it. i would advise an integra motor the "B18" series

 

w00t for another 4-door!

 

First off fix whatever is wrong with it and make it a comfortable ride. It's 13 years old so chances are good it could use some work. Then make it faster. If you have say an EX with a D16Z6 boosting it would be a good option to make it fun and fast for cheap. If it's something with a D15 then consider a swap and later boost. There are a lot of ways to go. Just browse around and see what others have done to their cars. The pics thread should give you some ideas.

 

yeah i actaully i agree with that. ok so before you put parts on your car spend the money to make it run right....
