future set-up...un-sure

Things to do:

*Bored stock throttle body, or new throttle body and IM
*AEM cam gear, or EX head swap and stage 1 cam+cam gear
*SAFC2 and the "stiffy" engine torque damper, or VAFC2 (w/the EX head swap)

[Im on low budget and also under warranty from Honda]

Kinda thinking of going with the stiffy and cam gear for now + HID's and either new head lamps (w/the black outlining or w/e) or projector lights with black housing...and then figuring out if i should go through with ex head swap or new IM route. Also want to do a EX header conversion lol, i know im kinda lost in ideas to do so if any1 has some suggestions of what best to do out of my options that would be great!


Also with boring my stock TB (from maxbore.com) what do i need to keep the ECU working right? a SAFC2??

I dunno...engine warrenty you should try to keep. I had like 10k on my car, brought it in for oil change and they noticed the crank seal was leaking(I think it was this). They keep my car and extra day and replaced that ****. Im very very sure its hard to replace that seal and very expensive labor as well.

headswaps are a piece of cake. youll need a vafc-ii to control the vtec without an ex ecu. i just swapped a d17a2 into my lx and just used the vafc-ii. works perfect. ive got an a2 head for sale for $100 plus shipping im about to post in the for sale forum.
