pistons (higher compresion)
bottom end (fully balanced for higher rpms)
different ecu
different head
vtec on exhaust
bigger vavles
6 speed for better gearing ratio
different header
different intake manifold
better cams with higher lift and longer duration
shorter shifter
there might be others but i dont know. if i am wrong on any of this please tell me
