95 DOHC upgrade options/ Please help me decide
Posted: September 23rd, 2004, 1:13 pm
Hey guys, whats going on. Ive been browsing all the forum threads and car domain sites looking for options for my 95 1.6L DOHC. I know later on down the road Im gonna end up swapping the engine. But which engine would be the best bargain for my buck? I found a few at corksport:
1.6L T4cyl (B6T)
1.8L T4cyl (BPturbo)(from GTR)
2.5L V6 (KL-ZE) w/approx 197 HP
Now I know most of these engines require new mounts, tranny's, wiring harness and ecu's. Thats not a problem. Money is of no issue to me, it may take a while, but I want to hook this car up. Not many people in south florida have a mx-3 or even seen an mx-3. Thats the main reason I got the car, sick of the same ole civics at car shows I want to build something different. I dont know much about modding engines though, so I need some help o-n deciding which engine to look for to swap in.
Also, my current 1.6 DOHC has about 62,000 miles on it so I figured while Im saving the cash for the new engine I might as well have some fun with the one I have now. I was unable to find an intake until I found the PRM Pro Kit Intake at corksport. Have any of you gotten this intake? Is it directly bolt on or would it have to be modded? Is there anything else I can do to this engine to increase my HP? I know alot of questions that may seem like you guys answer every day, I just dont wanna spend money on something that isnt worth it.
One more thing, Ive only been able to find exhaust systems for the 92-93 mx-3, will these fit the 95? If so, any modding need to be done?
Thanks for the help.
