Some parts for better performance?

Okay i already have basic bolt on setup

Injen CAI
DC headers
AEM underdrive Pulley kit
Full catbak w/TCS exhaust

i want to get Iridium Spark plugs(is there anything else necessary to get the full efficiency out of them?)

I'm also planning to get the E-Ram electric supercharger (My friend has it on his LS integra..Says it works hella wonders!!)


ANything else you guys can recommend for some simple bolt ons or to help mai 01 EX's performance?

Im plann'n to get NOS's nitrous kit w/fogger kit too in about half a year for some crazy boost..50 dry shots

Well please lemme know if you guys have anything crazy up your sleeves to help work mai engine!

Oh and i heard CAM gears for a single cam overhead engine isn't legitimate..so yea..lemme know on that too

The iridiums won't do much. Some people say they are smoother but that is it. The Eram supercharger is bullshit. It doesn't do anything.
you won't get much power from this engine. The cam gear won't do much. Simple bolt ons wont do much at all. Sorry to break it to you.

You could find someone that works for honda. Because with the 2001 and up Civic's You can do all of the programming to the stock computer. Change the redline advance timing, Anything that the other aftermarket computers can do. You can have honda do for you like I said Find a friend that works for a honda dealer. They can hook you up! Good luck with the mods

Your friend said he got good gains with the Eram?

Have you felt it personally? Everyone here says it's crap.

But if you do get it, please report back your gains.

If your planning on getting a nitrous system...Go with a dry set up. It's more reliable or safe for your car.

FYI: Jet ECU is the last mod that should be done.

Edelbrock makes a custom nitrous kit for our car.

I can work with you on the price.

The cheapest thing you can do and see a difference is a grounding kit for your car. There is a thread on it.
