Default USDM to JDM '95 Honda D16 Motor Swap, What now?


So I just finished swapping out my blown USDM D16Z6 motor to a JDM D16 from HMotorsOnline. Everything is running great, I'm VERY impressed with the difference. A motor with 30k (JDM) compared to a 150k (USDM), runs a LOT better. Anyway. So here I am, straight up stock JDM D16 with 30k miles on it. New oil, new rings, new O2 sensor. What should I go with now? I want to get as much out of this SOHC as I can. So someone knowledgeable about SOHC wanna let me know the next step I should take?

Thanks.

Hmm.. Shouldn't I go basics first? Headers, Exhaust, CAI, Etc.?

What kind of turbo would you recommend for a SOHC?

No need for that. It will all get replaced anyway. If you just want basic bolt ons, do a header, intake, and a cam.

But check the forced induction forum. That is the only way to make good power for a D.
