Need more ponys!!

Long story short i have a stock 2000 ek/ex not sure which is it in canada,,, and its a lil on the low power side im willing to throw some cash at her,, but how much would it need to be to make it worth it?

Completly stock except for rims lol,, 224k km regular maintenance done and just out about 900 ina it for brakes and belts,, now im looking for upgrades rather then maintenance,, anyone got any ideas on where to start or even to not start ahah thanks

Matter of opinion.

What's your goals?
How much money are you willing to spend?
Is reliability a concern?
Can you DIY?

Basic Intake, headers,exhaust and camshaft upgrades will give you a little bump in power. If you want big bumps you will need to go forced induction or engine swap. These topics have all been covered extensively so do some research.

Okay great, then research turbocharging the car.

There is a crap ton of information about the 6th gen and turbocharging the D16. Not just this forum but many others. Tuning is key. Crap tune means you blow your engine up. Turbo kits can be pieced together from used parts to save money.

Re: Need more ponys!!

FYI, EK is chassis code, ex is car model
suspension mods are easiest and best bang for the buck
