D16Z6 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have a 94 civic coupe D16Z6. I already put in the intake n exhaust pipes. But that isn't enough for me. I'm just now starting to get into tuners. I bought the car with a pretty nice body kit but I'm not too happy with it. I mean don't get me wrong the car sounds n looks mean as hell but it doesn't go with wat it has under the hood. Where should I start? Any ideas, suggestions? Thanx I'd really appreciate the help.

SpeedDemon Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 if you want any kind of real power over 150Wheel HP then boost(turbo) is pretty much it. you cant get much from a z6 with just boltons. they are puny pics of the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16Z6 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 you know around how much that would be? my computer at home is down so I'm getting on my phone right now but I'll post some as soon as I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 depends on if you buy a kit pre assembled or piece one together. they sell whole for around 1500, you can piece one together for 500 easy a new clutch is around 150-200 good tires if you have cheap ones chipped ecu/hondata/chrome/neptune 150+ tuning 200+ if you have more than 170,000 miles then i would rebuild the motor rods 400 pistons 100-250 depending on brand injectors 40-250 it gets expensive but still cheap compared to other cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedDemon Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 yeah that would be ok. try searching the engine tuning/modification section. i have a full thread on everything you would need for boost http://www.hondaforums.com/index.php?/topic/36506-boosting-your-d-series-basics/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelSolSweetie Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 lol @ thinking 130k miles is okay to put a turbo on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16Z6 Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 so I'm guessing that's a big no no??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 it could work.. depends on what the motor has been through.. rings would probably be the first to go IMO.. if not the headgasket stock honda rods cant handle much boost anyway though.. i'd rebuild the whole thing before trying to boost it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelSolSweetie Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 your still compressing more air into your cylinder with a supercharger.. same basic idea.. different setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16Z6 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 I guess it's time to start putting away money n start reading some more....which is better though turbo or sc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Depends what your driving preference is. Supercharger is belt driven so you get a fairly even power range across the rpms. Superchargers are more common on V6, V8s etc Turbos are much more common but most of the power comes at higher rpms. Also the turbo you have more room for tuning/upgrading.
