Re: approx hp gains (sparcocivic)
NOS is a company. Nitrous is the term. And all of thos mods arent going to do much. Just save up and do it right, swapp it or build it. you'll thank yourself later

Re: (cdizzle)
it doesnt cost 600 dollars to put a intake exhaust and header unless you want to waste your money on the name brands that dont do anything better. $60 =header $35=intake catback=$200. i have those 3 mods and it is not that great you will feel a little bit difference in power but once you feel a turbo there aint no turning back. read more about turbos and you will be alot happier in the long run.

Re: (tuname420)
I personally wouldn't waste money on the header or exhaust if you're going to go turbo.
You're just going to replace the header with a turbo manifold, and the exhaust you pick up for your NA honda will be too small diameter wise after you're boosting.
Build up your engine, or swap and build up an engine. intake/turbo/2.5-3" catback, clutch/flywheel, shifter, suspension, tires/rims.
Somewhere along the lines of that order. A clutch/flywheel might come in more handy before exhaust too.

Your numbers seem quite off even for a ghetto rigged setup.
A crap brand intake w/K&N filter is still about 50
A USED header you might be able to find for 60-100
And a good, mandrel bent, stainless steel cat-back exhaust that actually has a good muffler and resonator attached? 250 at least, and that's on sale...
Forget everything.
Either plan on boosting it and giving it the right setup with correct engine management OR swap it for something with more torque which is hard to find in the Honda family.
