1995 Integra GSI Jap Spec

I used to think my D16Y1 Civic was super fast...even scared me a little!

In my opinion do the intake, header and exhaust because they're nice. My brother's DC4 has a generic CAI, XForce 4-2-1 header, Magnaflow cat and Fujisubo Power Getter - goes very nicely indeed. I've tried to convince him to do an LS/VTEC swap and not too long ago I had a spare complete JDM B16A head but he didn't want to spend the money on it.


I wouldn't bother with a B18C2 when for only $2000 more you can get a B18C7, which has a better gearbox and produces better power.

Anyway, any intake/exhaust modifications can be used on another B-series engine later if a swap is done.

LS vtec head swap ... much cheaper

all honda engines rev hard - they love it =)

Boost it! If your mate just wants a nice car, then there is no point in modding the engine. Play to its strengths which are its looks and sounds. As others have said if he is able to then he should do an engine swap or a turbo setup. Its a really under rated car in stock form imo.

I agree fully. I spoke to him and hes only gonna get a CAI, Extractors and Full exhaust, he isnt interested in performance that much so doesnt need a Vtec, just wants a nice Cruiser that sounds nice, Its a First car FFS gotta get experience and it will get little dints and shit anyway

I wanted to do LS/VTEC on my brother's DC4 but he wouldn't cough up the money :(
I/H/E should be fine though

He just got a New Cannon yesterday as the other one was very old. 2 Inch inlet, 6 inch Barrel and 4 inch tip, sounds quite nice now, very droney around the 4krpm zone.

He is playing on a CAI, Extractors and Full exhaust system soon. What is Best a 2 or 2 and Half full exhaust system?

Full engine swap or just vtec head? I wouldn't mind a full type r engine swap.

Who wouldn't! ^^

Edit: LS/VTEC = Head swap.

Go with a 2.25" it will still leave some torque for down low but will def improve the top end too, dont be expecting any amazing power. U will also need a decent high-flow cat for best gains.

Only some of the new Hondas (i believe the FD Civic and the V6 Accords) are made in Thailand.. moving the manufacturing to Thailand was pretty recent.
