Before people go omg search noob.
that car has a soch d-series
the only way to make power with it is FI.
I/H/E is an easy way to upgrade, get some better gas mileage, and it ~could~ sound better... the small increase in hp isn't worth noticing...
imo, leave it stock... worry about suspension...

Wow, go easy there BPR, he asked a simple question.
To the OP, id say leave the motor stock for now, and focus on things that would make the car handle better, such as a good set of coilovers, maybe some strutbars, ect. If you want to get allot of power from the Non-vtec D-series motor, your going to have to look to forced induction.
THere are a few small things that would put a kick in your car's step so to speak. An Ex/Si tranny with a lightened flyhwheel would surely make your car feel a bit more quicker due to a lighter flywheel and shorter gears.
Intakes and exhaust's can only go so far (which isnt too much) in terms of performance on a single cam motor.

OP, read that thread a little to better understand an all motor single cam... If its not crazy horsepower ur lookin for, than goin the turbo route may be a lil excessive... I started out my car with some audio/video upgrades... Put my clarion 7" touchscreen an pair of competition 12's with a JBL 1200.1 amp, that made my ride more enjoyable... Than threw some 00' SI wheels and tinted windows, that made it even more enjoyable... Than started gettin into brake upgrades, exhaust, intake, headers ect.... Now im boosted and all that good stuff so my car is more enjoyable than I ever imagined lol... It all depends on what kinda stuff ur into really... I'm into loud bass, haulin ***, and lookin the cleanest I can possibly be.. "my car not me lol, i tend to get VERY dirty" haha... Just mod ur car to ur spec's otherwise ur gonna run into situations where its either what u want or what someone else wants, and when its ur car at stake whos choice would u rather depend on..?? exactly lol...
