Just spoke to my mechanic....(long)

If you want to stay with the DX, swap the Si fuel injection onto your motor. And then you sould throw on a vtec head and stuff like that. You could make it fast if you really wanted too. It would be different

------------------
89' Civic Si, JDM DOHC ZC, Lightspeed header, Jacobs Omni Pack, Sportline wires, Custom intake, Custom 2.25 exhaust w/ 5zigen muffler, Eibach springs, Neuspeed short shifter, Neuspeed strut bar, ZC Tranny, Integra modified ECU, Gunmetal paint and coilovers soon.

you can see pics of my car, engine pics, and a mods list at: http://www.members.tripod.com/4thgencivic/id41.htm

for me personally...it seems everyone is doing the b16 or ZC so i'm going a different route. i had a spare (d16a6 Si) head rebuild & reground acompanied with a DC sports header, AEM cam gear,(100% real) carbon fiber intake, and axel-back exhaust.

next step will be a fuel rail and pressure regulator. i also want to have a bottom end rebuilt with bigger rods and pistons. and have it all topped off with my ECU reprogrammed for all the mods.

finally i am considering going with turbo. i'm really not going for just all speed. it's more for the fun of mods and to make the car more fun to drive. i get into a street race every now and again but, it's not like i go to a track.

thanks to a little fender bender all the engine mods are on hold. but, on the brighter side i'm sticking a full WW kit on my car (next week, wa-hoo! )

okay...i'll shut up now (LOL)

you should find a local shop that can help you convert your stock 1.5 intake manifold to the SI's 1.6 mainfold with 4 injectors. You'll need the new intake manifold 'with injectors and harness' and the SI ecu.
This actually makes and big different and i recommend it. you'll be impressed =] plus you'll be able to use a aftermarket air intake.
