lovellsz Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 What are somethings that can help get a lil extra hp out of a honda civic with the b16a2. I am not really to familar with them since i was raise up around the small block and big block chevys so now that i have the lil four banger what are somethings that can be done to make it a lil quicker? The only mod i know the car has is a short ram intake, with a k&n filter other than that it is stock for the most part. You can refer to the show off section for some pix of my car.

scratchy Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 My pops used to drive a honda ballade also with the b16a2 motor. We found they respond really well to the following mods. gas flow the head 4-2-1 branch manifold 50mm free flow zorst cams and piggy back chip dyno to set up all nice.

str86diesel Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 What are somethings that can help get a lil extra hp out of a honda civic with the b16a2. Guys, He's asking about getting a lil bit more power, not doing an engine rebuild. First the famous question has to be answered...what do you want the car to do, or how do you want it to perform different. There are several items that you can put on the car and get a little bit extra power and not break the bank. As soon as you start talking about cams, turbo's, pistons...you'll start investing a lot of money in the car and only you can answer if it is worth it or not. Bottom line, in order to get power you need to ingredients, fuel and air. You can keep adding air all day long, but if you don't have the fuel to burn, you won't get the power. So being that you already have a short ram intake, i'd look for some type of programmer. My honest opinion (take it for what it is worth), you can definately get some more hp out of that motor, but no matter how much power you get out of it, at the end of the day it will still be a 4 banger. You can get it to leave the line a little quicker, but a 4 bangers sweet spot is in the top end, not the bottom end. Dealing with small/big blocks, you probably already realize this. So then you have to ask yourself, how much money is worth dumping in a 4 banger? Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meade916 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hey now, some of us like them 4 bangers....... my suggestion is....you already have the intake, go get your exaust done and maybe a header or something. You want to make a race car out of it do some of the above "advanced" mods but for just a little more pep the exaust and intake is the first thing id do.

You want to make a race car out of it do some of the above "advanced" mods but for just a little more pep the exaust and intake is the first thing id do. like meade stated the first thing is new header. ( just the header swap alone will give you around 13-17 more horses)that is for starters . also grab yourself a JEGs and Summit parts book and started upgrading from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civichatch Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 headers, exhaust, cold air intake. And maybe find somone that can play with your ecu. I got another 22hp out of having a cold air intake, exhaust and tuning the ecu. I will be ordering headers soon.

str86diesel Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hey now, some of us like them 4 bangers....... ha ha ha..... i need to show you what an inline 6 can do. You'll never go back to a 4. Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. 973808 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 ha ha ha..... i need to show you what an inline 6 can do. You'll never go back to a 4. But there aren't many 6 bangers that are affordable or have many upgrades as a 4 banger would have. But that's just my opinion.
