Default question on cheap upgrades

i recently bought a 91 SI with a blown motor, im trying to save another rex and im gunna swap a z6 in it in a matter of days. Im running turboedit with one wire vtec. The question i have is what are some upgrades that will benefit the car but are cheap/stock parts from other cars. i know of upgrading hte front brakes with the gsr calipers and rotors, using hte teg front sway bar, and using the lxi brake booster and master cylinder but are there any others that i do not know of? ive heard of using an integra ( * i think * ) rear sway bar but couldnt find any info on it.

rear rotors off a vw corrado ...verify please... how about a motor from a jdm cr-v :-D....theres an oem swap for yah. no but seriously....if your looking for performance....oem is not the way to go....you will never get the same power/performance out of any oem parts than you will from any reputable aftermarket company....

also....take your exhuast / intake manifolds off and port out the openings with a dremel...very tedious work but will net a horse or two....
