Default Next Step??

Ok, I have a 99 Civic Si w/ the big three...AEM V2 CAI, Greddy Evo catback, and DC Sports JDM header.

Some people have told me that my next step should be a fuel pressure regulator or some ECU tuning to make up for the recent bolt-ons.

Help on this or a step in another direction would be great! Im trying to stay NA like Omniman did on his 200 whp Civic Si.

Thanks in advance!

Grab some EF1 cams, Skunk2 camgears and good ECU tuning and you'll be ripping along towards your goal. Be warned, however, that 200 NA whp from a B16 is incredibly difficult to come by.

The Big Three?...that's a first.

Well, either or (Fuel Riser or ECU) is good to pick. If you decide on an ECU or fuel computer, make sure it's adjustable. Otherwise, your getting another untuned (though pre-tuned...whatever) ECU again. I would recommend the GReddy/HKS types (HKS for myself).

After that, your going to have to decide what kind of motor you would like in the end. Other mods that are equally, but in my opinion more important, would be things like the brakes, suspension, and the drivetrain. BUT, those items depend upon the driving you like doing.

If your wondering, I have a very NON-drag car. My EG can't keep up with the S2000s in a straight line, but I tend to like to have fun on the local side roads where it gets VERY twisty. Staying above 4000 on my tach is pretty normal.

Anyways, hope the forementioned words help, and stick to the site if you need pointers.
