The brother is probably a sister, anyways i dont have a hb but tell us more about what you would want to do.. Then we might be able to give you better answers, like are you trying to just do simple stuff or what?

ok sorry lol....

Im not to sure of the availability of your again for any type of modifications, and depending on the mileage you MIGHT want to swap a d16z6 vtec from like a 92-95 civic... Atleast then you will have a little more power upfront, and more options(I,H,E) or turbo or whatever. Plus you can pick up a engine for relatively cheap like 400. Good luck with whatever you choose.

D15b sohc 92hp/89lbstq... So lets say you do, do 'i,h,e' your only going to have gains of 20ish hp(guessing). I'de say either do a swap, or just save your money for the swap up to you though.

i dont know what header, intake and exhaust you sport but you will be lucky to gain 5 whp with all three together, and that will run you 800-1200 depending on your taste.
