how is your suspension set up rright now??... are you able to put that power down?... maybe look into a clutch/flywheel combo for starters, then upgrading to ITR or CTR cams, CTR crank pully, or boooooost her!

add an aftermarket intake manifold
if you are serious and want to keep it NA get some high compression pistons and/or get an aftermarket camshaft(s) and cam gears

2 stickers per side of your car should do the trick


no, but seriously.
there's really no point of this thread, cus you could make power about 100 different ways.

search to find out more, and find something within your budget and skill level

Do the ITR cams, they pull so nice in a B16A. While your there cough up some money, for the valve train too. Your top end will thank you.

no reason really, it's just that these honda motors are made in japan, and u wanna put japanese parts on them for maximum gains, and companies like mugen specialize in honda's only...specialize is a big word here....whereas dc sports is a good reputable company...also makes parts for domestics and stuff...which is not a bad thing....
but...would you look for "authentic fish tacos" at a mexican restaurant or at some american buffet?

its not where the product is from, its who is making it, how its being made, materials, and how long the product is researched/tested before released..

dc is extremely reputable, so is their testing and researching... I think they are one of the few companies that make a header that can pass smog test and still make good power...

but people say jdm is cool... so buy jdm ****
