Timmy!

Take advice from boostin coupe. I wish I would done the same with mine. But instead traded it in for a GSR. B series = more money.

boostincoupe

Thanks for the compliments guys. The reason I went sleeper-style (i.e. no rims/tires and other bling items) is because I'm a broke college student, and I wanted to put my money (what little I have) where it matters - the motor.

I agree, get a nice spring/shock combo, rear Si sway bar.
Then decide which power adder you want; turbo or swap.

motor is what u need

There is nothing wrong with that motor! These guys are B-series and turbo crazy, but you can pull a lot out of SOHC D-series motors. I would start with a used Jackson Racing Supercharger with a 12 lb pulley (~$1200). You'll also need a good cold-air, bigger throttle body, and new exhaust from header to cat-back. That should put you right around $2500 if you shop it right, and will be a B16 for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Smartest thing I've read so far!! Than I'd take the reswt of the money, buy a plane ticket to either Japan, Russia, or Australia.
Nothing like Russian, Japanese and Australian beers and hookers.

Seriously just spend the majority of your money into investments.

Or otherwise beer and hookers.

i would go with that list of turbo goodies that a guy a couple post up said with the pic..

zxcv

sell it and buy a pinto

awalk2005

Get some koni yellows with a good set of springs and then search around for a used turbo kit. You would be set.

hair_rice

drop it with shocks and coilovers then go get a turbo kit for sure

drewbie

2500

turbo kit

or

Volk te-37s - ~1250
tires 400
total = ~1650
2500-1650
850

Use that money for a good suspention setup.
H&R 400 lb springs with tokico illuminas (~110-125$ for each shock)

I dont know how much the custom springs are.
But that would be a good suspention setup.
At least I think it would be....Similar to what I have on my hatch.

Or, you can use that money to make some good power with your stock motor. (Let me know if you are selling it)

AEM fuel pressure regulator = 100$
Ram intake = 50$
Buddy club exaust or something similar= 500
b16 injectors = 25 $ (they flow better up top than standart injectors)
ZEX 59300 cam = ~220$
ZEX valvetrain= i dunno
Hondata= 450~$$
Dyno tuning= about 150 per hour.
Fuel pressure guage and pod = 120 or so $$

You have a good intake manifold if its a Sohc VTEC.
I would recomend getting a bigger throttle body and have the intake manifold port matched.

You might also want to consider some brake pads or CF hood.

there are a lot of things you can do with 2500.

My recomndation would be to save it for as long as you possibly can.

If I am wrong, someone please correct me

^ Best answer so far brick96EX get to know all about your car before you touch ANYTHING on it.

First aftermarket upgrade should be suspension IMO
