First timer with some questions

[Chaaalieboy@yahoo.com]

Whatsup everybody!

I have spent lots of time and money that i dont have modifying cars to make them much faster, but incredibly inefficient. I've finally tired of it, sold my racer, and decided to go with ecomodding instead (horray!).

I just got my '98 Civic with an SOHC motor, and i have some plans for it.

What kind of total efficiency gain can i expect from the following ecomods:

AC and Power steering removed
Carbon Fiber Hood and Trunk.
A lipkit (i think you guys call them bumber spoilers...)
Undertray
Grill Block
Car's already been lowered

Thanks!

I'm not the best at quantifying things (especially since I haven't done many of them since being at school), but you can definitely expect some gains from those mods.

Welcome to ecomodder!

Welcome to the site. Slowing down and driving techniques will give you the best bang for the buck. Those mods will help but it depends on a lot of different vairbles. What the commute like?

[Chaaalieboy@yahoo.com]

highway miles, mostly.
I've definitely slowed it down and tried to employ the driving techniques

[SVOboy]

If it's highway, I would suggest throwing in an EG cx/vx tranny

[Chaaalieboy@yahoo.com]

those come off the b16, right?

[SVOboy]

Nope. Civic VX or CX, engine codes of d15z1 or d15b8

ok, lol. I'm still thinking big motors.
