Default Most HP for under $200.00?

I need to mod my TEG fast or else I'm going insane. I need more pull too. I'm waiting for head swap and turbo kit for about a year. Need to save money. Just need some small things to do that will boost the HP a little bit. Not asking much, just a bit.

I thought about a DC 4-1 header to go with my DC catback exhaust. Anything else to do. Already have an intake. Maybe a intake manifold. I don't know. Just need help on the TEG. Only had it for a week.

Also, does the DC2 stuff fit my DC4? Just want to know this for little interior modifications.

Did I also mention I hate the 5 post rule. Had to wait a whole day to post again.

If you're going turbo I wouldn't buy a header... other than that start w/ a CAI or exhaust thats in your price range. Sorry to say, $200 won't get you too far.

Since you already have an intake, a nice maintnance tune up with oem parts would do you good.

All interior parts are interchangable, 94-01.

Definately a number 1 choice especially when you can go to ebay and get these for cheap

If you going turbo later, dont waste $ on DC header..
save another 100 and get some used NOS system...That gonna give u alot more power ...and u can still use the nos system after u get turbo...


oh yeah ....remove your PS ...that gonna get you a little gain ...then sell me the PS pump ....

not flaming you but you're not gonna gain anything from a fuel regulator...and it's not a pump. regulator and pump are two different fuel parts.

anyway, here's my .02 on the deal...since you're mainly stock i'm assuming and going turbo soon, don't waste money on simple upgrades you won't need later on down the road...

advance timing with distributor - free
new plugs - $10
5w-30 synthetic oil change - $20
weight reduction - free
homemade cold air intake system or ram air system - $40
test pipe - $30
take off p/s and a/c - free(you'll notice the difference too)

these are cheap little things you can do to make you go faster before you go turbo.

dont waste money on a brand name intake or header if your going turbo anyways. find a used nitrous kit and use it or sell it when your turbo ***** ready.

don't waste money on an intake/header/exhaust/etc.........if you are going turbo later on.
either begin saving the money for the turbo, or invest some cash in security, or do like shermanyang wrote:

I heard something like a hondata intake gasket gives quite good gains, a few other companies make similar products so check them out too

Hardly. You wont notice much with a new gasket. Itll be a little cooler I suppose...but I didnt notice anything breathetaking.
