the 97 civic ex sedan is a d16y7 NON v-tec......
the d16y8 v-tec is used in the 1.6 el and the civic si......
the only way to get more power is to swap a vtec head swap in...then you're looking at getting about 127 hp instead of the 106 you currently have

Other than that..your looking at a swap.

I got the same problem guys!
1997 Civic EX 4 door.
The thing just won't go on the highway!
Accelerating and merging on the hi-way is a b$tch too ...
:cry: :cry: :cry:
All I need is at least 10 extra HP out of the car ...
Are there any easily reversable mods out there?
CAI is one of them. What else can I do to it to get at least 10 HP, and so that I could easily undo the mods later.
Thanks!

I'd also go for mods that are not clearly visible, like Header, Lighter/Smaller underdrive pulley ...
swap is not an option ....
Any other suggestions guys?
I am really desparate ....
Thanks!

The thing is, all I need is some extra 10HP ... just to make my life easier when driving ....
Reason why I don't wanna do anything serious, is because I am selling the car in about a year and a half ... just waiting for my insurance to go down a bit, so that I can buy something really worth modifying.
