In any civic (unless its a '99-'00 Si), if you want to get it really quick, you're gonna have to swap the engine, so don't worry about putting stress on an older engine since you're gonna ditch it anyway.

8-9 psi can put an otherwise slow D series into the mid-low 14 second range.... work with wutcha got, its a lot cheaper!

you are correct, but, if you do those exact same mods to a b series with a dohc, its gonna be faster.

cost of motor + cost of mods = more horsepower
figure if you have an ex, you are spending an extra 3gz for a mere 50 horsepower.... not very economical
(best choice)

Thanx, guys (gals),
Heres what a got (is this right)
since I really couldn't afford a 99-00 I am probably going to get a 96-98
Instead of spending the extra $$ on a EX, I should get a DX,LX. While they have less starting hp, the cost difference is worth it.
I don't really know what a b series is, is it the vtec (in EX models)?
Overall, I shouldn't worry so much about which model / year, cause they all are pretty much sweet and "upgradeable"
Thanx again, I just wanted to save myself from hating my car like 3 years after I bought it.
