Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 2006D16Z performance options?
I've been wanting to boost my 91 civic for some time and I've been very frustrated. Please help me out. Can someone please point out the best route for upgrading my D16Z block to accept a moderate to large shot of NOS with a mid-sized budget, say $8k. I am not interested in turbocharging right now, strictly NOS. Please focus this attention to the block (pistons, rods, sleeves, crank, cam, etc) and ECU. I am wanting 250+ hp overall with *NO PROGRAMMABLE ECU* (no hondata, no neptune). I am however interested in replacement or modified ECU's that retain the stock config with a defeated (or increased) governer and revlimiter. Mainly I want quick RPM's and a major increase in midrange and high-end torque. I also would like some reliability. Any ideas?

Stock ECU configuration because I want it tuned to run basically stock whenever I'm not using the NOS. But I would like the governer and revlimiter increased. NOS instead of turbo because I don't want boost all the time. I don't want that extra strain and power when I don't need it. Sure, there are turbo controllers, but there is still a minimum boost running all the time. Furthermore, I don't feel like hassling with dyno tuning. >>> I've been wanting to boost my 91 civic for some time and I've been >>> very frustrated. Please help me out.

I'd like a quick, all-motor engine MOST of the time. Something that builds up RPM's fast, with a reserve of a considerable NOS shot when I need it. And I wouldn't get much benefit from upgrading the valvetrain if the stock ECU's revlimiter is going to prevent me from peaking 6.5k RPM's. Otherwise, the stock ECU is fine. I'd also like the governer defeated, but it's not necessary as I probably wouldn't be taking advantage of this very much, but I'd like it anyways. >>>>I've been wanting to boost my 91 civic for some time and I've been >>>>very frustrated.

Whatever you do, your '91 engine has to come out, and you have $8K. Don't bother with the D16: get a Prelude or Integra B18 VTEC (with the manual transmission) and rebuild the lot. Once its all ready, along with the brake and suspension upgrades (you ARE going to get better brakes, right?), exhaust etc , take all the old bits out and do it all once. Stewart DIBBS |
