Hi, this is my first thread on hondaswap.com...I really like the community, and i appreciate the way that people are willing to help the less-experienced, like me...
anyway, I just bought a 92 civic cx hatch with a JDM B16A...it's got quite an extensive mod list for only paying 3200 for it! I'm looking to turbo it when I can afford it later and when gas prices drop, but for now I'm looking to optimize it without losing gas mileage that bad...here's what it has...
AEM short ram intake
DC Headers
Apexi catback
AEM fuel pressure regulator
Fidanza aluminum flywheel
Exedy Stage 3 clutch
Fidanza cam gears with skunk2 cams
Now, i'm not asking for anyone to hold my hand and tell me what to buy, but I need some advice as to what i need to make some streetable power...the mounts are being replaced along with a new exedy stage 1 clutch this weekend...i intend to hold onto the stage 3 for a boost project when cost allows....luckily, i'm living in birmingham alabama, right next to a shop called Motorvations...Jim, the owner, is a godsend...
Anyway, in terms of power, i was thinking that i would buy a good intake manifold...only problem is, i've heard that the stock one is as good as it gets in terms of power...if this is false, someone suggest a good manifold for mid-high rpm power...also, i want to take this beast on the dyno to tune the air and fuel, as well as ignition timing...can someone that has used hondata s200 tell me what they think about it in terms of how good it is for my application?
i really appreciate all the help i can get...^_^
