Default 1996 Honda Accord H22a swap

I have an Accord with an H22a swapped in. It has intake, header, and exhaust. What other bolt-ons should i throw on to make it faster? I want to do everything i can to make it faster (except NOS) so tell me everything. Price doesn't matter. Also, its an automatic. And I plan on dropin a turbo in it eventually so lets just talk bolt-ons. Thanks.

if your gonna go turbo then why waste money on n/a mods when you will have a bunch of parts built for non turbo?

save up do a manual swap then work on your turbo build

If turbo is a no go for this ride, then your still looking at little power ad-ons. H23/Skunk2 intake manifold (or other crazier ones), CAMs, full air intake (into lower bumper), lightweight pulleys.

Losing engine components technically increases power too. A/C, P/S, etc.

Auto is holding you back. Convert to manual first.

If money is no option then why wouldn't you 5sp swap and boost it now? Putting turbo parts in an engine and running it N/A will not gain you any power. I'm pretty sure you would be happier dropping an F22B1 back in there.

There are no more N/A bolt-ons that you can do to add power if you already have I/H/E as stated. Only other way to add power is to tear into the engines internals. Not what I consider bolt-ons and it would require tuning as well.

Honestly there are no more bolt ins to add to your car. Everything else would either require tuning like GhostAccord said or it would be specific to your NA or forced induction build for example cams. The auto tranny is holding you back just like nus_dogg said, if you want to put more power to the ground go manual.
