nothing really much to do with it.... either just save ur money to do b16 conversion or turbo it which will cost just as much as b16

As above. Don't expect vtak performance from a SOHC 1.6...

You can look into fitting an intake of some form. We run a CAI setup on our EK D16Y1, and it did help make the motor more responsive.

Again a simple set of headers would help make the car feel quicker. I wouldn't go much past the usual I/H/E though.

my d16 is acceptable performance i suppose. a good cai goes a long way and i plan to get headers, exhaust and a high flow cat. but as far as perfomance goes thats it really. the civics a great looking car so maybe focus on some visuals?
