Q: what do I need to put stage 3 cams in a 1999 honda civic?
I want to put some stage 3 cams in a stock 1999 honda civic ex what parts do I need for that and is it worth doing?
A: its worth it if its the B16A2 engine, D14/15/16 yes do it but you won’t get near the same level of performance as with a B16.
Stage 3 camshafts are very agressive, you would need to upgrade your valvetrain first particually if you have VTEC, adding better, stiffer, valve springs and higher lift valves. the standard valves wouldn’t cope with stage 3 cams for very long, an upgraded exhaust and intake manifold/system is needed to get the most of cams also.
put simply stage 3 cams are designed for purpose race-built engines, that have high rev capabilities, stage 3 would be WAY too agressive for a standard engine. compression and engine flow must be increased and significant engine work would need to be done to run them properly, and they would
NEED to be tuned in properly — seriously don’t want your valves hitting your pistons etc!
it would be worth it with a long term project, people have pushed 500bhp out of civic’s — but thats after ALOT of money spent…don’t get stage 3 cams on a stock motor….
Q: What aftermarket parts should I add you a 1999 Honda Civic EX before I add a turbo charger.?
I already have a Flow Master exhaust system with headers and ram air. What other aftermarket parts should I add you get it ready for turbo.
Also I was wondering how many pounds of boost would you recomend.
Im actually thinking about an engine swap also before I do this. I was gonna look to swap it with an SI engine.
This car has alot of after market parts on it already. I can probably get around 8000 easily for this. I won a contest at a race track and they hooked it up for me. It has high performance breaks, shocks, and much more.
A: Below is a list of parts you should add to your car BEFORE making a transition to turbo. Note: this is for a stock EX.
- Fuel Pump 190 or 255 walbro
- Fuel Regulator
- Fuel Rail
- New Clutch
- Brakes — a MUST!!!
- Suspension
- Your flow master should be at least 2.5 in diameter
- Spark plugs wires 8.0 –> 10.0mm
- Aftermarket Distributor rotor, Distributor cap
- Bigger Radiator aluminum
- Slim radiator fan
- Stronger CV Axles
- LSD (for take off)
I would recommend 6lbs of boost on your set up because it sounds like you going to be running your car on a stock motor. This would keep it safe from detonation. One word of advise TUNNIG is the key for a good reliable turbo car.

Q: 1999 Honda Civic Coupe 3M Tape Window Visor Installation?
i just bought some window visors/ deflectors for my 1999 honda civic coupe. and they use the 3m tape. i was wonderng how do i install these. do i just simply tape the visors to the top of the window or do i somehow stick it into the rubber parts. or how else do i install and also have it installed stable using the 3m tape that was provided. thanks
A: If the 3M tape is the double-sided adhesive tape you need to attach the wind deflectors directly to metal. Be sure to remove any wax and dirt from the metal that you are attaching it to by wiping the area that you are applying the tape to with isoprophyl alcohol. If the tape came with the air deflectors then it should be sufficient to hold them in place.
Q: 1999 Honda Civic EX engine swap question?
How much would it cost to put a 1.6 B16A2 Honda Civic SI engine in a Honda Civic. Would I have to make any major adjustments or would it fit right on the original mounts and everything hook up fine? If not what other parts would I have to buy.
Also I was wondering the same about a JDM B18C Spec R. Would that fit and how much would it cost and what would i have to add/replace to get it working.
A: It depends on the current spec of your civic now, it most likely would have a D-series engine, so changing to a B-series means changing the ECU along with the gearbox, driveshafts, harness and wiring loom. You should be able to put the engine strait in — no need to change mounts. If you have chipped keys (spare red key if you have) then the B16A2 ECU won’t work with them, so you will need a PCT ECU (or other JDM ECU, but PCT is advisable) of the B16B engine, they can be picked up for around £100. You can find a complete package, box, engine, loom, dizzy etc for around £800-1000 with about 60,000miles, labour will be alot though, it depends on your local garage rates. If you get a complete set, or a donor Si, then its a strait forward swap, my mate did his in two days.
The B18C will require more work, same applies, Gearbox, harness and so on, but the engine mounts will need to be strengthened, they don’t need reponsitioning (at least from what someone with the swap has said) and the ECU will work. The B18C Integra engine will cost around £2000-2700 for the complete engine, then add on labour, so it will cost alot.
Best advice i can give is join a forum like HONDA-TECH or HONDACIVICFORUM and ask advice of those who have done it — they can tell you what works and where to ovoid trouble.

Q: Turbo Suprcharger question Honda civic vti?
Hi.
I have a 1999 honda civic si (vti in the uk) and i am planning to supercharge it .. I read that if you do a compression test and leakdown test and they are ok you dont really need to rebuild your moto..
Both of the tests went ok however my moto has 130.000 mph and i was thinking to rebuild it If i am going to put a supercharge it .
What are your thoughts on that?
If i do rebuild the engine can you recommend parts (compression forged pistons,head gaskets etc) or companies that specialize on engine parts for 1999 si .. i looked at greddy but on their website they didnt have much for my car…
It seems that the most popular supercharger are JR and Vortex .. however i live in the uk and i was wondering if you can guys can recommend a company that specializes in the uk as for both of the above brands you can only get them in the U.S.
What gain (BHP) shall i expect to get from each supercharger (average)?
A: You’re going to do an engine rebuild and supercharge a car with 130k miles on the clock?
Save your money and buy a better car.

A: If you want the most improvment in power then rebuild it with as many improvment as you can afford
Otherwise just bolt-on a blower and hope for the best, you can probably pickup another engine from a scrap yard for a resonable price if it blows-up Jap engines are pretty tough

Q: Cost of repairs on a 1999 Honda Civic 5 door, in UK?
My car needs:
4 new shock absorbers
2 CV joint gaiters and
2 trailing arm rubber bushes
I have been quoted £1200 plus VAT for parts and labour…the guy was apologetic and said he didn’t think it was going to be that much…but that was his quote.
I would love to hear from any Honda owners who have paid for similar repairs. Even at £60 an hour for labour, I was surprised by the amount.
Many thanks.
A: The 2 CV joints are a pain to change. They may take about 4 hours if they run into problems. Try another chop and compair the prices. Remember if the mechanic doesn’t see to many honda’s you will have to pay a higher price. They will not be able to complete the job as fast.
Q: Grill gone off Honda civic, how can I secure the hood from being opened?
Someone took the front grill off my 1999 Honda Civic EX. Now, I’m worried that they have access to popping the hood and taking the more expensive parts of the car. Is there any way (temporarily) to secure the hood from being popped open until I’m able to purchase a new grill?
A: Well even with your grill on if they want to take anything out of your car they will. and your latch will stay latched so it wont come open on its own unless they took the latch off with it.
Q: Just had timing belt changed by dealer on honda civic 1999, did I do it too early?
75Kmiles-1999 civic– The dealer did the timing belt service/3 other belts–ps/compressor/alternator and 4 spark plugs. i paid $715 did i get ripped off, or is this an average rate? I am not mechaNICALLY INCLINED , so i had to have the honda dealer do it. Also is it bad to ask for old parts after completion of service, to verify that teh serviec was done? Thanks alot.
A: Timing belt should be replaced every 90,000 miles or every 7 years whichever comes first. Since the car is over 7 years old, it was past due. Different manufacturers recommend different times to change timing belts. Subaru says to do it at 60,000 miles. If you try to go 90,000 on a Subaru you will most likely end up breaking a belt. Years ago I owned a 124 Fiat sedan. Fiat timing belts were to be replaced every 25,000 miles. I know someone who had one break at 23,000.
I have owned many Hondas and have always gone 90,000 miles between belt changes. I presently drive about 20,000 miles a year so that is every 4½ years.
The price you paid is reasonable for a dealer. An independent mechanic may do the job however, for half that price. You did NOT get ripped off. Also, there is no need to ask for old parts on a preventive service like this but the dealer should not be upset if you do. That is your prerogative. Asking for the old parts is a wise thing to do when a mechanic or dealer tells you that you need a repair which is suspect rather than a preventive service that is due to be done. Better than asking for old parts is to ask to see the defective part while it is still on the car. Depending on the part this may not always be possible. Some parts will look the same whether they are good or bad, such as electrical parts. So sometimes seeing the old part makes no difference unless you can test it. Brake pads can be seen without removing the pads. You will need to remove a wheel however. A dealer often has old parts lying around. How do you know the parts they are giving you came from your car? You need to find someone you can trust to work on your car whether it is a dealer or an independent mechanic. Ask around and find out who other people use and why.
Your next timing belt should be changed at 165,000 miles or 7 years from now = October 2015. If you get rid of the car before then, do the next owner a favor and leave a copy of your receipt for this service in the glove box. Black out your name and address etc. if you want to protect your identity. Or simply leave a note that says “timing belt was replaced at 75,000 miles in Oct. 2008 by [your dealer's name]“.
Q: 1999 Honda Civic Lx front end intermittant knocking?
My old dependable civic (250,000 miles) has developed a knock that I have been unable to diagnose. After driving for about 30 to 45 minutes the front end develops a variable knock from the right front side. It tends to knock anytime, but usually when braking or turning. The pitch of the sound varies from very light to very loud. Steering and braking is unaffected by the occurrence. I have checked the right front side several times. The suspension is tight with no play in the wheel. New parts within the last year include: rebuilt trans, right side half axle, right side outer tie rod and front struts/springs. I would appreciate any insight with this problem.
A: In keeping your Honda Civic ride safe and stylish, bumper plays a huge role. Bumpers are basically a steel, aluminum or rubber shield that is mounted on the front or rear end of a vehicle. It functions in preventing or reducing physical damage to the front or rear end of the vehicle in case of low speed collisions. It protects the grille, hood, trunk, exhaust, cooling and fuel system as well as the different light assembles. The efficient and reliable service of your bumper can significantly help not only in keeping you safe in your car but also in saving you thousands of dollars in repair and replacement expense.
Honda Civic bumpers are crafted from high grade materials for product specifications that match the structural requirement of your car.

But aside from its functional service, bumpers also make for an effective exterior styling part. It customizes the front and rear look of your Honda ride to give it a distinct look. The stylish and elegant appeal that the bumpers offer will surely make your ride a sure head turner on the road.
Innovations in bumper features have now made it more efficient and durable. Strength and rigidity are incorporated in its design to enable it to resist the crushing forces of low impact collisions. Modifications are allowed in today’s bumpers to strengthen the assembly and enhance its look. Available in several styles, colors and designs, you get to have wide choices when it comes to bumper replacements. But still proper maintenance is the key to keeping its reliable service for thousands of miles. Because the part is vulnerable to damages, seeking immediate replacement as soon as the part gets damage is vital. Putting off replacement is wrong economy and a safety hazard.
