    i plan to go b in the future, but i want to see what kinda numbers i can produce with this d. i gotta nice came, 4-2-1 header, nice exhaust system and a few other lil thangs that i like. i think my problem is i came off of v8s and im expecting major power gains easily, not realizing this is a 4 banger. its cool. by the time im finished, i plan to have at least 220 to the wheels. more if i do it right.

    hard to make over 200 horse N/A with 4 banger
    even 150+ need alot of money put into it
    the best and cheapest way is boost

    its either weight or power
    this is why most people mod crx, the lightest car known to man kind before all those crazy obd3 hybrid cars

    also most V8's are not tuned like a honda motor from the factory, hence a bolt on on a mustang is way more power than on a civic. the civic motor was engineered to the max almost and that is why they run the way they do and that is a really good thing. think about it, what V8 do you know that gets 100hp/liter or better. none, only honda has pulled this off really. there are several ways to go to get power on any honda motor but i think the most used platform is a b16a. if you put a b16a head on a b20(honda crv) block and made sure you put a vtec oil pump on it it would have alot more torque, trust me on this it's the only thing left for me to do on my SI besides hrad work and boost, and i'm not getting any boost for sure!!!
