Hi Ricky, welcome to the greatest car club around! Nice to see another Civic owner amongst us! Have you got the 1.6 in there? What kind of output are you hoping to achieve?

hey rick welcome to the site.

the 92 bhp engine will be the 1.4 is it not ?
best idea would be to swap the engine if it is, as the 1.4 doesnt give that much scope to tune.

You'll have to upgrade the brakes first to cope with the new engine. Which I would definitely recommend. It then depends on how much you want in the long run. The B16A (160bhp) from the Civic VTi is a good option, the B18C (200bhp) from the Integra Type R is a very good option. Both engines can be tuned very well.
