alright im looking to upgrade something right now but im on a budget of about $500. so i was thinking, b16 tranny, blox a cams, or a decent header. the build is a stock b20 block, b16 head with itr valvetrain, itr cams, 70 mm tb, aebs IM, hondata im gasket, mild port job, i/h/e. but the header thats on there is a POS chikara (yes i know its horrible). it was on there when i bought the car, trust me i didnt waste $150 on that POS. so basically those are my 3 choices right now unless u guys can recommend something different. thanks

 

Header or tuning such as hondata, chrome, etc.?

 

what transmission are you running w/ the setup as of right now?

Bingo. Unless you have a LS tranny.....

 

he didnt mention any kinda nonstock tranny so im assuming its still the stock one, so personally i would choose to buy the B16 tranny.

 

Go for the Tranny.

 

boy, you even got the nerve of calling a jdm itr header a POS when youre only running a godamn CHIKARA!?


Buy a $1000 header cheapo!

yes i know. and in that thread i believ that i corrected myself by saying the jdm itr header isnt a POS, but there is much better on the market. and yes im saving for an rmf narrow btw. and yes i know the chikara is the worst of the worst but it was on the car when i purchased it, thats why its on there

Bingo. im on the ls tranny. it sucks. i would go with crome but ill be tuning in like 2 months so i dont wanna spend money twice. and also, my air/fuel ratio is fine right now with the ecu i got. thanks

 

forget the header, keep that POS chikara header on there, you got 500 sell the ls trans for like 3-400 and save up 1-300 more for an itr trans w/ lsd. You will benefit from transmission more than a header + tune.

I'm not saying you shoudn't upgrade the header or not tune your car, BUT WHAT I AM saying is as of RIGHT NOW you will definitely be better off w/ a transmission upgrade.
