There is a rule out there... you can only have two of the following things: fast, safe, and cheap...

a flame decal on the side. that ads like 30hp. and a fat front window decal that says powered by honda. an additional 20hp.

but seriously i would just scrap the auto motor and go 5spd and b series. or turbo d-series there is to many options for you to just ask what can i do to get more horsepower because there are to many things you can do to get more hp.

Turn off the aircon, it yields 80% more power.

Air intake and 2" header to tip exhaust maybe like ~20 hp? Performance cam? If you get some aftermarket spark plug wires that adds like a good 45hp lol.

I'd be surprised if a cheap intake and exhaust made an extra 5 whp.

Werd but NOS offers a great kit, assuming you know what you are doing with n20.

If you don't, don't play with it.

Just take care of your engine, you may not make any extra power, but at least you won't lose any by being stupid and throwing cheap stuff onto it.

(if you know how) port the head
point the openside of the gap on the spark plug in the direstion where the air/fuel is coming from, mabey gain like 1-3 hp cause of dead on spark and direct connection
an exhaust system
intake
headers
a cam
nitrous
and if you have done MOST of this mainly intake headers exhaust and a few smaller things THEN i would reccomend to get a tune...and oh yeah.....CHANGE THAT TRANNY AND GET A BETTER CLUTCH TO GET REAL HP TO THE GROUND
