Guys, My pal has an LEV, CVT, '99 Civic w/ EK series engine.... looking to get better performance..... cause you other Civics too impressive on de road and he gettin' leave out too often!

Would welcome ideas on possible CVT "hop- ups"

Any other recommendations...B series.... D series, gearbox, harness, ECU etc., price ranges for straightforward installation (based on you all experiences)?

If you want to stick with the CVT check Mr. Fixables, he is the man for that!

Yuh know!

But it sounding like an automatic OBD II B16A is the way to go. That will run you about 6000-8000 plus 2000 installation and cater 1000 for miscellaneous sh.it

Look for a front cut with ALL the parts including mounts and axles BEFORE you start. I also would recommend Autonation to do the swap.

You will have gremlins for a couple weeks to a couple months after.

If yuh want Manual...that is a whole nex story.

One more thing...he will never be the fastest one the road.
I have a CVT they are boring but with have their advantages.
Start with a nice exaust and work your way forward.
2.5" should be your max size on that 1500.
If you have the Vtec, you can get a nice CAI from Legal Imports 663-9094
As a matter of fact call and tell him what engine you runnin, he has a lot of bolt-on parts.
If you wanna swap, call ANP as they said above.
