Well, for the money, buying a cold air intake... then maybe a new exhaust... headers, etc.

The best upgrade for your money is turbo. I/H/E is suprisingly hp-efficient on K series from what I've heard but for about $500 more you could probably triple the power output over I/H/E.

ok you said SI. go get a turbo setup. stock internals youll put down 300hp easy. just upgrade to RSX type S injectors. and of course Kpro! lucky bastardo...
wait BTW are you in canada or the US? cause if you say canada disregard the above...

his post is about a ep3. wrong forum buddy. personally id go boost or go home. those k20a3's have low *** compression. a jackson s/c or a greddy bolt on turbo kit would be sick on your ep3
