Yeobh 4th Gear July 7, 2005 Share July 7, 2005 If your engine use cylindrical sleeve for the cylinders, then it very easy - just pull out the cylindrical sleeves and replace them with oversize sleeve. For engine that do not use sleeves you will have to dismantle the block and send to speciallised machine shop for boring and honing. Before the broing process you have to get the right oversize pistons for the shop set the cylinder clearance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbonetics 2nd Gear July 7, 2005 Share July 7, 2005 bro, thanks for ur advises... 2k i rather go for FI.. btw, u got any ideas how to do up an es5? heard some say bore the throttly bodies, this n that? if u r looking for power,FI is the fastest n most effective way... especially turbo charged.....but $2k for a new turbo kit is not enough... yes boring the TB does help...but u got to do other mods wif it... one mod is not enough....like exhaust,intake,extractor r the most basic mods to start wif..if u get the right stuff for these,10 horses is not a problem...btw,is ur civic MT or AT???

XLR8 1st Gear July 7, 2005 Share July 7, 2005 yes i think it's called a stroker kit.. any idea if any is available? im actually thinking of dropping in a 1.7l vti-s engine, then stroke that up to 1.8l.. since from the outside the engine look exactly the same as a 1.6 one. Actually for the 100-200cc increase, its not worth the price to pay for. You can do a bolt on TC kit with the same amount of money and the penalty is not as jialat as getting caught for cheating on engine capacity. However I must warn you that a conversion from NA to TC requires effort and skill to get it done right. A half fark job will give you much problems which you will regret in future. Maybe you'd like to sleep on it and think carefully before throwing in money. Make sure you make your moneys worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbonetics 2nd Gear July 8, 2005 Share July 8, 2005 iam not sure abt fuel reg....but i think it helps to adjust the pressure of fuel... to control the amt of fuel needed... recommendation of piggy back iam not very sure as iam not using one... they hav brands like...unichip,greddy emanage,obit...etc.... depending on the mods u want to do...some u can jus use vafc,some piggy back will do n some mods is better if u get a stand alone ecu......

XLR8 1st Gear July 8, 2005 Share July 8, 2005 bro, hard to find bolt on turbo kit for this model of civic.. I know of someone whose ES has already done it. And where to get it done. Drop me a mail if you interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR8 1st Gear July 8, 2005 Share July 8, 2005 (edited) what does fuel regulator do? how does it help in performance? how and where to find bigger TB? u got any recommendation for a good piggyback for es5 civic? Fuel regulator increase the stock fuel pressure 1.7 times more. Its more of responsivness on the throttle. But ES civic cant use. A friend of mine wanted to install but not suitable for this engine. Get the GReddy Emanage of Orbit. Have used them them before and find it not bad. Quite a bit of parameters to play around with. Best to go with dyno instead of butt tuning. A good stand alone would be the Microtech. Unless you damn rich, go for Motec etc. However, stand alone computers tend to give idling problems and sometimes difficulty starting the engine. This I can confirm. Not all will have but if you sway then u kena. TB try not to bore. I did mine at GE and the idling sometimes get irratic although cleaned thoroughly. Best is to get a aftermarket one but will cost you double the price. Edited July 8, 2005 by Relak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
