Vtec motor head? site and info for me..

Hey yo so i just scored me a 96 single cam vtec 1600

I am looking to get abit more poke out of it as its done high km's so is abit slow for my tastes.

Can sumone direct me to any good honda techy sites for info on displacement's and technical info on the motors?

Any good mod sites as to be honest i have never been into honda's

Chea

www.nzhondas.co.nz, probably your best bet but there are a truckload of spankers on that site

Yeah i feel like abit of a bomb chucker for driving it but no complaints at a 96 civic for free aye..

how on earth did you get it free?
Im hunting high and low for a very cheap manual ek civic sedan

http://www.honda-tech.com/ ?

It was a mate courier car and he gap'd it to auzzie, i was a good dude to him and helped him out so yeah free .. cool aye done like 420 thou km's but its actually pretty mint.

Kinda buzzing me out did a service on the weekend and filter and shit and now its cranking again..

jesus 420kms

HA! 420 fuck me, probably keep going alot longer than that, even if it craps out you can get another D16A for 300 or so.

Like any NA car, do the basic I/H/E mods and you will get some gains,

I'm pretty sure your engine code is D16Ay8, that means you have a stunning 127hp @ 6,600 rpm.

So, cold air intake would be the goer, costing around 180-250, then better headers/extractors which can be 400-600 and a better exhaust which depends on how you want setup, ut can be 600-1000.

pretty much all the info you would ever need

I used to have the DOHC model, I'm pretty sure the SOHC only alters the timing on the exhaust valves when the 2nd set of lobes start spinning at 5500+rpm (VTEC).

So big exhaust will make a good difference.

On the DOHC model even taking the air filter off on a cool winters morning made a noticable difference..

If you are actually going to seriously build it up get a DOHC

those integra's are FUCKING loud with straight through exhausts, I had a mate with a da integra equipped with headers and a 3inch straight through exhaust, at 7am one sunday morning bakes and I were out at remuera golfcourse and we could here him atleast 2-3km's away lol

One of the guys in the club i belong to had a full buddyclub exhaust system on his Type R, was cracking 128dB, now runs a nice and quiet Mugen Twin loop

lol 128db aint all bad

Actually I was wrong the SOHC model only has Variable valve timing for the INTAKE valves!
