Default All SOHC motor!

I know the cool thing to do is swap a b series into the 5gen civics, but since i have already blow a buttload of money on my d16z6 motor I figured I would build one up just to see what it does. Any suggestions on any part of the motor assembly would be appreciated (headwork, pistons, rods, crank, compression?). A small shot of spray might be a necesity to raise the hp, so take that into consideration also. I have an idea what i want but i figured i would get a second opinion. Im looking to built a total sleeper inside and out.:naughty: :thumbup:

thanks for the response, I am leaning toward a much higher compression as opposed to a turbo set up.:thumbup:

I agree. Go high compression. 12:1 is a nice round number when combined with a .040 overbore :-D 1.7 liter SOHC engine...weeeee :thumbup:

Perhaps you could just have your P30 chipped.

On 93 octane you should be good for 12:1 compression. You can use a chipped ecu, there are a few available for the SOHC.
