Default Recommended parts for a 2002 DC5 Type S.

I know what parts to get but what are you using and how do you like it/gains?
What has been proven to produce the best gains for TB, IM, Header and Exhaust?

Ask yourself what route you are looking for first NA or FI. then it will be easier to determine what parts.

NA first possibly boost later...I want to race and can't boost and run some of the circuits around here. I know what parts to get, I am just asking what brands per part have been showing the best gains and durability.

best gain i got out of an intake mod is adding the PIMP to my intake manifold. it basically bolts onto the bottom of the intake mani and increases the IM volume. gives great mid range and a bit of low end. i think the creators clained 10 ft/lbs of wtq and 4 hp... otherwise u can combine that with a cold air intake and definitely think about upping the exhaust manifold to a race header b/c the stock one reminds me of a d series header... also ecu upgrade is a must

I/H/E and an ECU Flash would be my 1st mod suggestions and then work from there depending on what your budget allows.

I would say unless you have alot of money to make up your mind and be as sure as you are going to be now. Dont spend money on an Intake and Header and then decide to go boost.

Ok, let me rephrase that. I want to run NA for a while then possibly end up boosting....but NA will be with me for quite a while. I plan on installing all of the Type-R parts that my S is lacking and possibly putting on the PRC IM and CRV bottom end with a nice slip diff.
