sirux

Heyas!
I have a 99 honda civic si with a d16y8 engine..
and It has 167,000km

Anyways.. I'ma be buying a carbon fiber hood and some nice black rims (its a silver car)

I did a few things so far:
fujita cold air intake
apexi WS 2 exhaust
megan racing header
short shifter

I was wondering if putting new pistons and a cam will be worth it..?
I don't know how many HP i'm pulling already..
What else could I do?
What am I looking for labor for the pistons and cam?


Thanks!!

First off just in the mileage of your car and mods.....Your probaly putting down somewhere between 110 to 120 hp max.
Is doing a cam swap with pistons worth it, I would say yes!
I would just buy a rebuild kit and do everything right the first time. And with the right cam and pistons you can make good numbers.
Rebuild kit with a set of P29's and a Bisi level2 mill the block to bump the compression with a tune should get you over 150whp.
Im putting down 161whp on my ZC.

You could get one of those rebuild high compression kits. Since not all pistons will work with rods. And aren't you burning oil? Good idea would be to do pistons/rods/rings/cam/valve spring n retainers. Then a nice tune, and you should be happy.
Oh almoust forgot, don't forget about injectors, wouldn't hurt to put something like 370cc injectors n a nice 255lph walbaro fuel pump.

Like I said a rebuld kit would have everything he needs besides the cam and cangear. Any high comp kit for a 92 and up will work with your cuurent engine.

He won't need to upgrade his fuel pump or injectors. Stock will be fine untill 220hp or so.
