ok heres the deal. I'm building up my GIRLFRIENDS D16Y8 and I need to know what i should do next!

This is what I've done so far.

Short Ram Intake
Header
BBK 62mm Throttle Body
Venom Fuel Rail
Venom Injectors, 10 % over ones.
Fuel pressure reg, and gauge. What sould my fuel pressure be set at, I have it at 50
no resonator, OBX muffler, stock pipe.

This is some of what I was thinkin'

2 1/2 in piping from cat back
Venom 400 or Apexi V-AFC Venom 400 is easier right?
Port and polished head, someone is selling them on EBAY
Venom intake manifold
High flow cat

Which of these would you do next and why?

No engine swap and the Port and Polished head is kinda pushin it at the kinda work I really feel like doing. She drives this Daily.

This is it!

deng... shood of saved up all dat money and got a b16 or a b20...

pissedoffsol

buy another wiper. looks like you're missing one

deth101

good eyes,good comment

rsaeini

don't waste your or your gf's money on that shit...get a new motor...even with all that shit you'll still get spanked by a stock B16...

daveLafleur

why the hell would you go short ram???? AEM cold air from lightning motorsports. They are my favorite place to get parts.

padank

see the holes in the front bumper, there is piping feeding the inner cone of the filter

padank

The wipers have been changed.

Ebay is where I got most of the shit

Remember this is my girlfriends car, I have a car of my own.

I have a 03' Mazda Protege 5

If your going to keep that crap motor then just make it sound and look nice, NOT SPANICH.. Take off that crap OBX tip and get greddy EVO, then get a ground control suspension ( car needs to be lowerd looks like crap in pic). also would be nice with a carbon fiber hood. If you want to really make the car worth driving then forget all of that and do the LS turbo swap.... or a GSR if you dont have the money for the turbo.

mad propz on that clean looking civic! but doesnt that tree get in the way when you're shifting? j/k

you've already got alot invested in the current engine, so i would upgrade the exhaust piping first (and get a quality muffler instead of that OBX), then bolt on a cam gear if u like and then get a V-afc to get everything tuned. IMO, high-flow cats dont do much. they add only 1-2whp at the most. i'd just go with larger cat-back pipes and a good performance muffler.

ya take off all the ricer parts sell the motor and buy a swap

E_SolSi

its his girls car ... there is a very good chance she doesnt give half a fuck about being stupid fast

JDMilan

but if she did care that would be nice, all I ever got from my past ex's is shit for dumping money into rides and not taking them out to dinner.

Hmm,,,mobil1 blue with hamps filter or dinner tonight.



I pick the oil change, sorry hun.

padank

Thank you.

Every one that said motor swap! it's not going to happen so get over it.

And I have never had anything but compliments on the car.

I can put all the stock parts back on if she sells it!

padank

all of you that said motor swap are probly spending all your parents money and not your own.
must be nice!

dcsports413

I'm totally feelin you on that on man!

Well, since she doesn't care about being fast, then don't worry about that part. Just lower, maybe bigger wheels, body kit, take off the eyebrow things, CF hood, Whats up with the grill?

Just what I wanted to know! Dumb

I asked what step should be next towards getting a little more power out of the motor and you make a list of about $4000 dollars worth of body mods!!!


I'll stick to Protegeclub.com, it is a much better site.
And hell they can help me more w/ the civic than most of you!

I have a 03' Protege 5

rsaeini

the last time i checked i got every single part for my car with my own money. why don't you go off into your little Protege 5 world and fuk yourself. I hate n00bs that come on here and start talking smack to people just cuz they don't hear what they were hoping for.

If you want the truth, i think that car looks ugly as fuk. that car is officially marked as being "ricey" in my book. no taste havin, can't think for himself, wasting money on stupid shit, talking smack about something you know nothing about asshole. if you had half the IQ of a fukin monkey you wouldn't have spent your money on all that bullshit.

here's what he was thinking before he made all those mods, "Let's see...i've got a near stock D16 but I think it needs more fuel because of that intake I put on there. it's should give me an extra 162whp because that's what they had in TF&TF."

You're a bandwagon mofo, a trailor trash bitch, you aint even smart enough to hook up your own ride...you had to hook up your gf's...i hope she leaves your ass and all that money you spent on the car goes down the drain.



I say you guys ban that fuker for talking shit about the site and the swaps some of us have.

that is quite possibly the dumbest shit ive read this week

so what your saying is even if you like the engine you have and want to work with it a little, you cant... if you want to stay here, you HAVE to swap

yes the site is centered around performance and a big part of performance with hondas is swapping
but that doesnt mean that the person who wants to boost their LS or EX or Si or go all motor in their H22 prelude or GSR or ITR or Si is any less entitled to be here

there are very few girls out there that care enough about performance to bother with a swap or a heavy boost setup etc... most girls that are interested in cars want something a little quick that looks good TO THEM..... while myself and others might think that there is nothing more beautiful than a stock bodied car gutted lowered with REAL coilovers on some -10lb 15s... i have not met many girls that feel the same way (i have met a few)....

this guy is trying to help his girl figure out what to do next on her car to make it a little faster
she probly didnt want to come on here herself and deal with the leg-humping fucktards on here... cant say i blame her

now stop being fucking cockchokes and give the fucking guy some help

padank if you need any help shoot me an IM i use to have a similar engine to the one in her car i can give you some pointers

Thanks your one of the few that did help. Everything you said was right on point.

There is a pic of my ride above, and a list of what i've done so far.
I believe i've done well with it so far, being it only has 2500 miles.
I guess now that they see I have my own project, they might understand why I'm not going to do a motor swap into someone elses car.

Well thank and I will IM you when I need to.

rsaeini

I actually read your post and i said get a swap because you're gonna spend all this money trying to get better performance out of the car and the most effective way of doing that is to chuck your stocker and get a B or H series. this is all IMO ofcourse.

then you had to go and try to talk shit about us spending mommy and daddy's money on our swaps. well, that pissed me off and it makes you sound like a fucktard for even saying that. you don't know any of us and you have no idea what we do to get what we have.

E, i agree with you...that comment from Blanco was pretty stupid.

Padank, IMO...if you want help and ideas on here you need to be open about the suggestions and comments people make. you can't be an asshole and knock people for commenting on here. if you don't like what I have to say then oh well, go climb up someone elses tree.
