Boost

I love all motor vtec, my gsr is going to stay n/a. valve train and cams is a great hp gain, but watch out for overpowering everything else. just know that everything you beef up has the potential to break something else. i would recommend strengthening a few other things before you go straight for horsepower, like the oil pump, fuel and air regulation, motor mounts, etc. there's nothing like finally putting some cams in just to watch your valves break or your rods flying out the oil pan.

for $1500 i would buy:

HEader like i have for sale- 5 RAGE/HYTECH TRi-Y HEADERS!!! 30 DAY SPECIAL!! WONT LAST!!!

Skunk2 Stage 1 cams- $350ish

Skunk2 Intake manifold-$200

Crome Pro ECU-$180

Dyno Time -$320

you should make around 175-180whp aka a 20whp gain over stock

^^ does this include them being installed

[Vteckidd]

no, thats just parts

[v8killacivic]

if you're going n/a then upgrade your cams they'll give you the most power upgrade. then again if you upgrade your cams then you need to upgrade your valvetrain as well...

turbo

turbo.

Well, its all on you bro. If your motor is stock, you can boost it. But it won't last that long depending on how you drive. You can pretty much find all the good parts for that price around on sites for sale too. It all depends on how much you wanna spend for hp. Add your price for parts up, and look at parts for turbo. Don't go the cheap way either. Do it right the first time bro.

^^ yea still debating.. but i think imma get a skunk2 intake manifold. kuz it would b good for both turbo and all motor right?? and will this b easy for me to install and put on the throttle body on myself??!

Good call.

Take your time. Trust me.

If you want to go boost, and be reliable... $1,500 ain't gunna cut it.

Get the Skunk2 intake manifold, header, cams, ecu and a tune, like Mike said.

If having someone else do the labor for you isn't in your budget, try and get all the bolt ons first. Header, catback, intake manifold, aftermarket intake (Whale Penis FTMFW!), throttle body, msd, new plugs and wires, ect.
