I am kind of on a budget right now w/ car payments and everything on the Type-R. But, i was curious what your opinions were on a all motor build up for the R. I want to spend about 1500 or so either on the valvetrain or the bottom end, i dont know which. I want decent gains, btw its a daily driver. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

portflow inner valve springs, mugen 2 layer head gasket, some sort of aftermarket cam. I, H, E if you dont have them already.

 

skunk stage 2's springs/gears/retainers mugen headgasket made decent power for me. 197 and 130 whp dynojet. i'm assuming u have supporting mods already i/h/e.

 

Do you have knowledge to where you can do the labor work yourself? if so, that 1,500 will get you some hp, but if not then forget about it. 197 whp is ill, I'd go with that set up!
