Power gains from NA
I am doing minor project with my EJ1...I have an LS swap in it and i was going to boost it. Well money became a problem and time as well. Maybe boost in the future but for now i am going to keep it NA. Besides intake and full exhaust what else is worth my while to do in order to gain some more power.
Currently has:
LS swap
Exedy Organic stage 1 clutch
AEM CAI
DC Headers
Magnaflow exhaust
DC Short Throw Shifter
HR sport springs
KYB AGX struts
Password JDM front strut bar
Password JDM Magnetic drain plugs
Appearance:
Rear Disc Swap
Type R shift boot
GSR cluster
VIS BF hood
Phillips true HIDs
Black Del Sol seats (red stripe)
All i can really think of ATM

I have a 92 CX Hatch with an LS in it, and honestly feel that its plenty quick stock, and have been told countless times that past I/H/E don't waste my money unless I'm boosting.
PERSONALLY, I'm boosting my LS, and since I don't have $2000 laying around for a name brand kit, I'm just pieceing it together, $50 450CC injectors, $10 resistor box, $80 for a used AEM FPR and fuel raile, Etc. Just start picking up things you will need to boost, and favor items that you can install now *ala fuel rail, injectors, ECU tuning*
