You could get the following:

CAI
Cams - best
Cam gear
Pulley

Can swap in a B series I think and retain the stock mounts but nothing else. Someone will have to verify this though.

Get better traction. Tune-up. Weight reduction....

Sorry, the key word of the day is SAVE.... your single cam isnt going to go anywhere with just a 20 dollar bolt on... its just simple mechanics..... I suggest find a different hobbie..... because workin on cars cost alot of money, and if your not willing to save and spend correctly, then your not going to go anywhere I'm not flaming you so don't flame me, im just stating the obvious.... but I/H/E is the cheapest HP gain you could ever get.... weight reduction, and traction.... thats about it.

Weight Reduction and E-bay are your friends.

Or just save your money and get a Greddy Kit off this site in the Classifieds.

If you didn't waste your money on useless OBX **** you could have a B16 or B18C1 swap by now.

you are a tool...stop bashing noobs when you are one yourself

and to the thread starter what kind of cosmetic stuff do you have? If you have a kit, huge rims etc..i would get rid of that stuff and it would probably get rid of a lot of weight thus making you quicker. Those things can really slow you down.

ouch! harsh words yo!

um, budget hmmm?? ok lemmi take a guess...

obx header.....................................$80
obx high flow converter...................$50
skunk2 chip....................................$50
cat back xhaust..............................$250
all other upgrades are cosmetic. ......$200 (depending on what you've bought from pep-boys haha

ok, custom turbo kit eBay pricing:

custom d-turbo manifold or greddy manifold.....$100
greddy blue box.............................................$1 00
TD05H (from eclipse)......................................$150
greddy style piping from eBay.........................$85
fitting, etc............................................... .......$45-90

cost of building a turbo kit for a little over what you have in the cheapo mods you have now and getting 50hp instead of 5??

priceless.....

I personally waited 8 months and bought a greddy kit...however, my friend who felt the kit firsthand yet couldn't afford one...decided to build his own and these are THE prices (with shipping) he paid for his parts....

I helped with the install and it actually went faster than my greddy kit install...which surprised the **** outta me but I guess since I had some experience with it....all the better

P.S. FifthGearOnline dude....you have NOOOO life lol!!! 10k posts and counting...wow...dude...please tell me you've lost your virginity to something other than your right and/or left hand???

i could give a flying **** about post counts, it means absolutley nothing. you dont see a contest with the highest postcount wins right?

who cares what FGO says about anyone else on here, it wasnt directed to you so dont get involved.

that NYC guy started it by saying " to trial users who dont know anything"

you had absolutley no reason to say that about ANY contributing member on HT.

you are an *******. go play on club SI where they flame everyone for no reason.
