okay first off, dont buy a vtec controller, waste of money, i would save your money and turbo it, you'll be much happier with it turboed and there is much more room for more power.

Why do you say don't buy a vtec controller? Major gains can be realized with an NA engine with internals if you get it dyno tuned..........

I'm not sure how much internal parts there are for the d16y5, your car is an hx right? I think the design of the head is different than the y8 one. Pretty sure that the vtec system in the y5 was built for fuel economy instead of performance......... someone correct me if im wrong. You might need to swap your head out with a y8 one if you want to build it.

I would recommend a crower stage 1 instead of skunk2, I don't trust them that much........
