port match all the manifolds...get an exhaust/intake systems, a lighter flywheel..theres tons of stuff....but your best bet would be to keep savng for a swap(b18 of course ) or go with junkyard turbo set up

nitrous is the best bang for your buck. make sure to get a wet kit. i'm running a 50 shot in my b16a hatch. very impressive hp gain.

Yah, "junkyard turbo" means you get a turbo out of a wrecked factory turbo car like a Eclipse or WRX. If you go to your local junkyard and look around for wrecked turbo cars you might be able to salvage the turbo, and fabricate a custom turbo manifold.

I would recomend a turbo as well.

http://www.homemadeturbo.com

That site has a ton of information. Oh yeah one thing that made me laugh, is the WA state comment. Im from washington and I dont look down on No2. But really you know squeezing isnt a bad way to get some quick cheap HP gains.

haha i useto live there, not completely true. Watch for DSM's to come in with them, Also make friends with the pick-your-part office people, bring them food, they love that. Drop them a business card and ask them to call you if one comes in. Otherwise go there every morning for a few weeks LOL

Or you can do what everyone else in tacoma does.. steal a car LOL

don't buy a GSR they are way over rated for the money. just boost your ZC, you will be happy. oh yeah BTW if you have a problem with ebay just spend more money else where. or better yet, don't tell everyone you got it off ebay. say you bought it from someone on here. If you buy stuff off ebay and your car is faster than who you race im pretty sure they aren't going to say, "his car doesn't count, he bought stuff on ebay". just a thought. BTW move to a different state.

OK so i live in washington the Tri-city area and i know a couple people that are running NOS on there cars and they are pretty quick so i wont say that i look down on NOS at all but i am all for forced induction, that is my plan with my DOHC ZC, but as i have heard that ZC's love the bottle so if you want the best bang for your buck than i would go with NOS. That is just my thought. Good luck to you and if you have any questions let me know.
