Hi all,

I c many of you are experts on b series, can i have some recommendation on what i need to mod to maximize power on my ZC engine by keeping the engine health and reliable please?

What would be the associate cost i am looking at roughly and who would be the supplier i can contact directly to get parts from?

any comment is appreciated.

i recently bought a second hand full exhaust system from a guy for $300.00 and now find out that its a rip off cos the the system is not in really good condition.

but since i have paid for it anyway, who can install it for me at a good price? i will need the installation from header to the resonator then join either stock cat back muffler or get a new one @ 2.25".

thanks guys

I have a D16A8 myself; 90 Model CRX.

Where you from? Sydney?

Offload the System you have now.

Liverpool Exhaust - Get them to do the whole I/H/E System.
(Headers from Liverpool cost me $350)

If you're rebullding it, I'd go with OEM Honda Parts - And Oils.
As mentioned, Lightened Flywheel and HD Clutch.

Have the whole thing Tuned.

how much power gain can achieve approx if still with NA? what is the compression ratio is your crx?

ZC were known to be a good boosted motor...

they have good torque at stock and can handle boost quite well! so throwing on a turbo kit would make a good set up!

or... depending on how far out you want to go... there are companys in usa that do precision rebuilds and can get some stupid N/A figures... but it doesn't come cheap!

if you want fun on a budget... like guys have said, I/H/E... clutch and flywheel... and strip some of your interior to make the car lighter if you want... or get some gear to help your cars handling...

Cams and Cam gears + ECU + all the mods listed before with a good tune and you're cranking more power than a B16A anyway.

For engine componets do i need to go for OEM Honda parts? or those that comes from America or ebay will do the same, since my concern is that I cannot find OEH parts for my d16a.
