krazvy Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 hello, sorry guys for disturbing you, but i have a Honda civic mb1 with 1.6 16v sohc vtec (D16Y2 engine code) and want to make some modification to it. i was thinking about a new intake and the only one i have found was from Tegiwa, can anyone say other producers ? want to gain a bit power more form this engine, and don't know what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The quickest way to get power is to remove the resonator and reset the ecu- which is free A carbon intake like Tegiwas is good because carbon is reasonably thermally inert. Alloy short arm intakes are not great on a D because of the heat transfer (exhaust wrap, CAI, heat shielding all cheap fixes of course).If your not after looks most people go for Spoon/ K&N panel filter in the stock box or a ITR air box swap.

krazvy Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 how can you reset the ecu ? :-s nice cf intake knight you got the B18C4 engine, right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Go for a cold air intake. One of the best is the Iceman cold air intake because it's made of plastic which doesn't absorb heat like aluminium. Colder air is best for D series. But the price is big If you don't want to spend that much you'll be fine with any CAI they are more or less the same thing.ITR airbox is another great way but to use it to the max you have to port the intake manifold and go for a bigger TB.

ECU Reset After getting the car warm I shut her down and took out the "ECU fuse 15A" and the "Back Up fuse 7.5A"Left it 10minStarted the car and just left her idling, you're supposed to leave it till it settles down to a smooth idle, [i left it idling for 10min as the fan activates after a certain point and it gives a chance for the fuel trims to include this].Shut the car down and started it back up straight away. [This is supposed to save the new fuel trim settings].Sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazvy Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 nice i will try it tomorrow ....i have the original intake pipe and mounted a injen cf closed airfilter ... don't know if i have gained something or lost :-s ... some say that they lost power mounting aftermarket air filters on stock engines :-s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
