If your going to stay all motor, i would go with a GOOD header from day one. nothing makes more power in an all motor setup that what header you use. I am testing RMF's new B16 header in a few weeks, it runs $495. ive seen very good numbers out of it.

If $495 is out of your price range, look to gettign the DC JDM 4-1 Header with a 2.5in collector. they run about $280, they are the best bang for the buck.

Next i would look at getting some camshafts. BTEC is right, if you are on a budget, GSR cams are a good upgrade. i saw 5whp with a set of GSR camshafts in one of my customers b16s. the run $80. If you have a little more money to spend, CTR or ITR camshafts are a great buy. they are around $250-300 depending on the year/mileage. Skunk2 Stage 1 camshafts are great too. i had them in my old b16 crx, and they ripped! you can find those too for around $300-400. good thing about all these camshafts is you dont have to swap your valvetrain out, you can keep your stock valvetrain.

After camshafts , i would look into purchasing a VAFC to tune with, or chippping your PWO or PR3 ECU to run Turboedit to tune with.


you can do all these mods for under $1000 . should make it a nice fun little b16. hope this helps!
