I had an SIR exhaust on my 98 Si. The SIR was about 1/2" bigger in diameter and if I remember correctly, stainless steel with mandrel bends too. I doubt it made any more power, but it was cheap and it did sound much better then the stock Si exhaust.

I/H/E now throw in some P29's or PM7's add a stage 2 or 3 cam with springs (stock d retainers can handle 9000+ rpm's) bump the compression, with a tune your looking at easily 140+whp. Been done a ton of times. |
ur all about the n/a d-series eh t-mack?
thats a lot of work/money for 140whp when a straight b16 swap would make that much power and most likely cost less. This guy said he's too cheap to do a swap, so I doubt he'll want to pull the engine out to replace pistons and do a build. Enjoy the 110whp this engine makes, get I/H/E so it sounds a little better and do some appearance mods (if thats what you're in to). |

I can't return the vehicle and I'm not rich enough for a engine swap.. I guess i'll just do the exhaust header and intake and just leave it as is.. **** it |

issue is.. I just bought this car for 5 grand.. which was a mistake I guess I didn't know the engine was this small I googled honda civic si and it showed me a 160hp b16 vehicle.. and after I bought it I realized it was just a d16..
but thats life.. I can't return the vehicle and I'm not rich enough for a engine swap.. I guess i'll just do the exhaust header and intake and just leave it as is.. **** it is there any probelms with it mechanically? |
155k km and it runs great for the $4,800 I paid for it.. maybe I should stay away from high HP:P
|
How much would it cost to put a B16 engine in her with labor?
|
Full out engine swap /w B-series transmission will probably run you between $1500-2000 for a 2nd gen B16A. Mounts and other misc. parts will tack on a little to this price too.
Labor ran me about $800 for my swap... though cost will vary based on whatever garage you go to. |
Don't do the swap. just do the i/h/e, and do some looks to it.

He might be better off ordering the Tornado or an electric supercharger. But really...building a fast d-series NA is not that exspensive and still cheaper then a b16 swap. I can break it down easy for you. FJT rebuild kit $300 Bisi cam and camgear $325 Aftermarket springs $150 I/H/E, I figure you should have that already? And a tune. Still cheaper and making more power then a stock b16. |
Or you can do a turbo kit for cheeper then a b16, and make more power then both with a good tune.

My buddy's d15b turbo is running 8psi and eating B16's and b18's for breakfest!

I agree with the end part......lets face it there's no such ting as cheap and fast in the same sentence.

I'm having a problem finding a half decent header and I'm thinking of getting an axle back ractive exhaust system with stainless steel 2 1/4 " piping with a angled muffler Whatcha think? Thanks all for the help.. !! p.s.: sorry for asking where to find those parts just I can't find anything in Canada.. if you order anything from the u.s. first you're paying USD then you gotta pay duties and other taxes and a ****load of shipping.. makes no sense. |
the axle back is fine, it's not hard to find the parts here, close to any aftermarket parts shop sell a **** load of parts for civics, you just got to look.

What parts are you looking for that you cant find? |
I'm looking for a brand name cold air intake a cheap header and a half decent exhaust.. I just want it to sound ****ing good.. with the stock exhaust it sounds like a garbage can hah.
Don't know what kinda camshaft I should get for it.. and I also can't find a FJT rebuild kit. I don't know if I should get the vehicle lowered.. since I'll always end up ****ing my vehicle up with bumps. other than that I've ordered a grille, and a front and back type-r lip and will install it all by friday.. I must be a total idiot then because I can't find any half decent parts for my car!. Thanks EVERYONE for the help.. I can't wait till my civic is a finished product. |
I was also wondering if I should put any decals on it... if any..where should I put them.. any suggestions?
