hi guys. i'm totally new to the game.
i just got my first stick shift car about 2 weeks ago, and it's my first experience with stick.

(car background) : 94 civic ex with a b18c1 engine swap, akimoto intake, 5 zigen exhaust, gsr intake manifold, strut bars, rear sway bars, tie bars, rear integra gsr brakes. . .

anyway, i just wanted to know what'll get me more power in my car? i plan on getting a type r intake manifold, or a skunk2 intake manifold, whichever i can find for cheaper. also, i have a stock header right now, so i'm going to get a new one [don't know what brand is good]. then i was thinking hi lift cams [again i don't know about what brand is good]. what else would get me more power that wouldn't kill my car's longevity?

sorry if i sound like a total newb, but i am, so yeah.

research research research. the best thing you can do to your car right now is learn about it. Type R intake manifold won't bolt on to your GSR head. a Skunk2 intake manifold designed for a GSR head would. research about your secondary butterflies. lastly, learn to drive your car and not be some idiot 16 year old with a brand new toy

 

thanks.
these past few days, i learned how to downshift properly, matching RPMs and all that. =]
also, what are some good websites that i can learn about things?

 

honda-tech! search search and read read!

i'm giving you a warning though...you're pissing money away if you're buying little by little, then you have to tune.

get it done the right way first. that's why research!

 

wait.... what am i buying little by little?
are you saying i should buy everything at once?

edit : also, what should i be researching on ?

 

if you are interested in learning somethings, search for it and read.

i just troll these tech forums not really answering too many questions, but reading answers that others have posted for issues that other people have had.

ive learned a ton
