Hi guys,
This is my first post :)
I'm a VTec Noob :wave:
OK from what I can gather I've got a VTec SOHC D16Y Engine
I have a 1993 built 1994 compliance Honda Civic 3D hatchback 93k on the clock
If I’m wrong plz let me know as l only started reading about this stuff tonight
OK what’s the cheapest way go get more power if any?
i.e after market ECU maybe but costly right?
How much more power dose an after market ECU give anyway?
Thx LukeZen
the car u have must be a " d16y*" SOHC vtec . . . good for 96kw.
The cheapest mods to get any "power" woudl be this - Intake , exhaust and timing . Please research more - IE search this website too !
Welcome BTW.
no such thing as B16y1 lol :wave:
Its D16Y1 and i assume ur car is a VTi.
At least you called it VTEC and not V-TEC :thumbsup:
Anyways congrats to ur new rides.!! :D
BTW your engine isnt a real performer, more towards fuel enconomy.
So a ECU wouldnt be worth while to purchase unless u boost it :D
93k?!!? dude!! thats nuts low...are you sure the kms a gen-u-wine?
Basic Cheapest way to get more power = Air Filter + full Exhaust
I'd go aftermarket ecu only after I change those
Have fun..
oo so its a VTi, maybe swap in a b18a?? that will give you the most power gain for your buck...i think, cos you already have most of the running gear ie its not carby so can just swap right in right?Quote:

First.. update your profile to show where you are, there are alot of EG (what generation of car you have) drivers from each state that are willing to help you out and even meet up for a cruise.
2nd. spell CIVIC right in your profile! that could be a start.
3rd. People hate having to repeat themselves on any forum so its strongly advised that use the search function on this website to find the information you are looking for becasue it has been covered before.
4th. It really sounds to me you have no idea about your car at all, so i dont think you should be comtemplating modifying it. JUST yet.
and lastly.. SEARCH, READ, SEARCH, READ... thats the only way your going to learn anything and trust me your goiing to benefit in the future because you dont waste your money.
But welcome to the forum.. just try starting with a search on what car you actually have. Can be as simple as Civic Vti. But i can you that the engine code you have is either a once off from Honda or they simply do not exsist. Btw your engine code should start with D, and someone with an eg will tell you what it is soon.
WELCOME and ENJOY
Well never mind about being the first.. i just type slow... :)
Thx guys,
Yup I’ve searched this site for a few hours already that how I cam up with my info
This post was mainly to clarify what model I have
Yup full service History and all :DQuote:

As for “”BTW your engine isn’t a real performer””
I thought the VTec’s were good performers that why I go it plus the shape rocks
Cheer’s Luke
As a newcomer - PLEASE do not get the impression that you need an camshaft configuration acronym written on your camcover to be "accepted" and FASST. :rolleyes:Quote:
