I have 92 civic si hatch with a d16z6 with 120000 miles on it. i dont have the money to do an engine swap so i was wondering what i can do to give this engine a little more balls. i already have a skunk2 adjustable cam gear, skunk2 cam, skunk2 pro series intake manifold and throttle body, and a greddy header, down pipe, test pipe, and exhaust. Is there anything else i can do aside of disassembling the bottom end. I have good mechanical skill but im new to honda performance. Also any advice on a suspension system would be greatly appreciated.

I think you've done most of the basic power adders. You could get an engine management system and get everything tuned, but short of putting in a turbo I don't think there is anything else you can do. Tein and Skunk2 make good suspensions plus there are so many more companies I can't think of right now.

thanks for the help, what kind of engine management systems are out there. also what kind of turbo kits would you recommend. i heard that hondas dont respond well to turbos. what about a supercharger.

AEM makes a system that plugs into your stock ECU and Hondata makes an ECU too. I don't know alot about turbos but I know Edlebrock makes one with 7 pounds of boost that will work on stock internals and Jackson Racing makes a Supercharger for the D series.
