GETTING MILD HP GAIN ON B16A

**AUSVTEC** · 06-11-2003 09:02 AM

Hi all,
I am just after some ideas on how i can increse my hp on my civic a little.
I currently have a b16a import engine that is putting out 80kw atw not tuned for two months, with minor mods including cold air intake and cat back exhaust......
I have already purchased a new exhauts system including custom headers and full catback but would like to fix some internals up before i put it on.
I am after no more than 250hp at the flywheel.
I hve a race engine builder doing a port and pollish and replacing my valves and springs.
What else should i need to do get my goal.

I have a second engine aswell but stock and has 50,000 more k's on it than the one in my car so i am able to have the car on the road while my good engine gets fixed up.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

"HI all , i just want to get my civic to eat that darn vtir ! "

Hhehe , soz Craig ! Anyway...apart from that....b16b pistons ? Full port and polish ? Port inlet and outlet to match exact fro increased flow ? P+P throttle body ? increase compression ( new head gasket) ? New b16b cams ? Get a stroker kit ? ?

The list goes on...u need first of all a good aftermarket ECU/piggyback that can handle all these mods , and take advantage of them !

Get to it ! :P
