Default Can someone give me some advice on what do next?

Hey new to the site join because I heard it is very helpful but enough with that!

I drive 99 civic ex but I did a b18b i think thats right out of a 99(LS integra)
I have changed the suspension
changed the exhaust system
about to change the header
changed the clutch to Stage 3 racing
cold air intake

I'm now out of ideas on what to do next to my car so can you give me some ideas that would be helpful in helping me gain somewhere from 50-100 hp!

Should I change my head to Type R someone told me that but I'm really trying to see from 50-100 hp increase so can you guys give me some ideas?
My cash limit right now is only $1500 to spend on parts now so can you work in that range!
Thanks

are you looking for bolt-on stuff or something like nitrous? turbo is much more than 1500, and really you dont havemany options..a bigger fuel rail,larger bore TB & matching intake manifold is all i can think of besides the header..

the skunk 2 intake "port match" and td "70"is a good buy for around 600 bucks, and and chiped ecu would work. if u want u could use blox if u wanna try them. they do have a 75mm tb. they r a lil cheaper then skunk 2 but i havent heard much reveiws from any1 bout those parts.

Look into getting Hondata and tune up your car.

Bigger fuel rail-Why? Stock will suffice just fine, there are people making 500-600hp with stock fuel rails.
Turbo-You can piece yourself a turbo kit for less than $1500 if you just look around h-t marketplace.
Intake manifold would be a nice upgrade, but i wouldnt spend the extra money for a oversized TB unless your going turbo.

First step i would take is to research your possible next step. People who jump into a project generally fail or have multiple problems along the way. Also, beware a lot of the suggestions that others give. For example, the stock fuel rail does just fine on your car and my car...upgrading it would be an utter waste of time.

When i first bought my GSR, i had no idea what to do next with it. I wanted to buy something because i had money burning a hole in my pocket. After researching, i decided that i wanted to turbo it AND do it right. I saved for another year and then started buying parts piece by piece. Eventually i had a GOOD turbo setup. I've continually improved it into something that i'm now very proud of. I suggest not rushing into a project...research and be patient.

Thanks for the info!
I do not want to do nos I'm really looking for bolt on only!
Since I'm really new to the site how do I get to the honda marketplace to look at parts to buy to build my own turbo kit?
I'm just really looking to add only about 50-100hp now and I was looking for items to add to help me get that.
I have a little more than the $1500 I just listed that to see where to start!
But thanks for all the advice you guys been giving me!
