If you save up a little more you could get a B18B swap. Otherwise, intake, header, and exhaust. You could also get a nice suspension setup that will make a huge difference in handling. I recommend B18B swap, though.

You mean B16A right... A CTR motor cost just a bit more than a B16A.... Try maybe $4000+.. I would say for the price just save a bit more and go with a B16A, that's a pretty good start... There are many things that you can do to ur D16Y8 but nothing that you're really gonna like... If I were you I would just save even longer and go with a B18C but that's what I will always recommend... Good Luck

hey dude, you already asked that, in fact it's only about 6 posts down right now?

so i'll just answer again...

as far as your original question is concerned. you might want to look into upgrading your flux capacitator model. the X-400 is seriously outdated. maybe the XT-550? I don't know, I've been hearing problems with the XT-550, from what I understand is once you hit 88 mph, some people experience this time traveling effect. Weird...

if you want, I can give you a number of a guy who does real good work, he doesn't have a real shop, but he works out of his own house... i think his name's Doc Brown or something like that. nice guy.
