Lil assistance

so i was looking into increasing performance on my car. and i saw a few things such as an intake with aem filter, back cat exhaust, hondata s300.

i dont have hondata cuz i just got a new job so moneys flowin again but i do got the aem intake with filter and back cat exhaust system. other than a turbo (atleast for now ) what other stuff can i do to increase hp etc?

thanks

-scott

Re: Lil assistance

Swap it for a B18 or K20, SOHC does not produce much unless you turbo it like mentioned above.. Either way, speed for you will cost big $$$

Re: Lil assistance

be aware that a durable turbo setup should be above 2k at the least (or was it 4k?) including tuning in dyno

Re: Lil assistance

It is a good one, expect to spend 4k+ once you have it tuned and all the kinks worked out. Otherwise youll be breaking down every week.

Re: Lil assistance

Dyno tuning is usually $150 per hour and you need at least 2-3 hours.
Installing a turbo is a big deal, its a lot of work and expensive if you can't do it yourself.
