NOS?
It's hard enough to release power from the D16... I don't think you'll get much from tuning it.
Your best bet to make it faster is to fit some lightweight 16" wheels with low profile rubber to help acceleration and strip the hell out of your car to lighten it.

I´m on this! With the resonator box removed, Header and Catback i noticed a gain in torque in the mid and high rev range. The Throttlebody from the D17 should fit and give a small touch up. After that, remapping the ecu would improve the whole thing.

I know, tuning a D14 leads to nowhere, but its all about the fun!

We'll see about that... I searched the internet looking for a turbo'd EP1 but with no succes.
I guess it doesn't exist,

yet...


I'm opening a thread trying to turbo my EP1. The aim is to make it so cheap yet decent, a D14 will finally be worth tuning!

If I fail... lol, that means I screwed my car and will cost me all my savings

turbo'ed ep1 should actually be easier than ep2, your ecu doesn't piss about with vtec so should be easier to set up for a turbo (you wont be able to boost as much though )

good luck to you too! what turbo are you using out of interest? i would maybe try a corsa vxr one as its suited to smaller engines (however im using a subaru one )

3000€ is realistic but I'm not intending to have it installed by a tuner and buying all new stuff from any reputated high performance brands.

True about the vtec I not have, but maybe you can use the maps already programmed into your emanage which will probably save you from severe headaches loco


The older d14 blocks 96-00 civic should be burn proof up to 200hp, or sure 180hp. No way I am aiming that high cause I really don't wanne prove anything and certainly don't wanne wreck the engine.

Hello


civic ep1 doesn´t have ECU it´s only some sensors

forget about tuning the EP1 it´s better to sell it, save some money nd buy an EP3

civic ep1 really suck I have the same problem, much weight and no power
