OK guys i know someone in here has done this before and i need alittle advice on it.
I have a 00 civic HB auto with the d16y7 engine in it good for about 90hp at the rear wheels.anyways my question is i am looking for bit more power not something monster fast or anything just something with alittle more get up and go since its a daily driver.so my options are as follows either get a fmax turbo kit for the ex engine and swap my head and intake with the ex for it to work since they r the same engines(this will yield about a good 50-75hp increase at the wheels)also i called up and they said that it wouldent hurt my tranny as long as i dont run it over 8psi.
My other option is to just drop in a bigger motor and better tranny, preferably the B16B engine with the auto tranny(this swap would yield about a total of 180hp and probably about a 165hp to the rear wheels or so..)
The cost diff. now the turbo kit and what not will come out to about 4g and the engine swap about 4.5g.
so now what has most people had the best luck in as well as whats the better deal???keep in mind its a daily and not a street racer.
