#69246 welcome to the site.

take that engine out and sell it and drop in a different engine if you want more power.

if you have a Civic VX then you have the D15Z1 engine in it, along with the VX trans. that car gets like 55mpg stock. that's what that engine was designed for.

if you're lookin for more power drop a D16Y9 i think that's the one with VTEC or drop in a B-series.

bolt on's won't get you much on that 1.5L

#69281 it does have vtec. it's like vtec-e or some shit like that. that's how that engine and trans are able to get 55+mpg.

great engine for a commuter vehicle!

which b-series you thinkin of gettin?

#69285 You do have VTEC. Its just VTEC-E. Which came on the D15z1. Its a great motor for gas milage. I suggest you keep it in there for now until you make up your mind with what you want to do, motor wise. There are and endless set of options.

I would suggest starting with wheels and tires, then suspension. No sense in ripping out a motor that works perfectly well.
