I think your car has a D15b4 motor in it, since its twin carb about all you can do is fit an exhaust.

You should check the sticky threads at the top of the civic section.

You car's specs are in this thread. And from what I can see, don't waste your money trying to get more power from it.

i spoke to a guy (i think from this site) and he said that changing to EFI would enable some more mods? is this correct?

it would require firstly an efi engine of your choice, preferably the B series, and then some efi conversion stuff.. then someone who knows how, and some beers...

sooo.. how much money you willing to blow?

i might just keep an eye out for cheap engines and parts.. and maybe try to gather parts and eventually build an engine.. which i have no idea to do, but my dad knows a lot and it would be good to learn.

since this is in the noob section ill ask another noob question:

what parts do i need for a complete engine transplant?
