    Question 00' Civic Si N/A Upgrades. More Power W/O Boosting

    i have a 2000 Honda Civic Si (B16A2) with just at 103k miles on it (USDM). I just want to know what all i can do to the engine without boosting it to get the most power out of it. No Block work. As of right now i have an AEM V2 Intake, DC Ceramic Headers, Skunk2 Catback, NGK Spark plug wires and NGK spark plugs.

    The reason i ask this is because i'm in the military and i'm unfortunatly stuck in Germany till August so i can't take it to any shops around here cause they know nothing of Hondas (Trust me i've tried, i had a 95 JDM RHD Supra N/A 2JZGE) and they knew nothing of modding a Japanese motor nor did they care to.


    This is what the baby Honda Looks like.

    better header, better catback, OBD2 to OBD1 conversion harness and a chipped ECU, camshafts, intake manifold, bigger throttle body

    are these such things worth the price for power... if so, which ones to go with on Header, Cat, Cams, Intake Manifold and throttle body?

    i plan on either selling it or using it as a daily when i come home... i also have a Evo VIII & A 3kGT VR4

    because The baby honda is in Germany(where i am) now, My Mitsubishi ladies are in Georgia(where i am NOT). I already have 330whp (plans to do more) on the Evo. I Just have nothing to work on over here but the baby honda.
    I'm bored, imagine going from the Evo to a Si, i don't know if you've ever drove an Evo but they throw out ALOT more power than the Si.

    Out of the things mentioned, the cams and intake wil give you the most power. But a good exhaust is also a big plus.

    when fucking with N/A honda builds, not to sound crude, but you'll have to spend shitloads of money, for a few extra whp. get a skunk2 intake manifold, RMF replica header, and type R cams, make sure you exhaust is 2.5 inch,then go get it tuned and hope for around 185whp.

    Got it!
    Thanks for the Advice. That's more of the answers i was looking for. I'm not tryin to go balls to the wall with it, it's just an Si. I basically use it as my long trip travel car to foreign countries over the weekend (Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary... etc. etc.) and as my daily of course around the military post. The reason i don't want to boost it is because i have not the first clue how to tune anything (not the best with computers) and it's so hard to find a turbo A/C compatible, I'm keeping my P/S and A/C. Cause in August I'm taking the Car back to Georgia with me.

    My Evo VIII is fully tuned by TOPSPEED MOTORSPORTS of Atlanta, it's just that i don't have the ability to get ahold of any English speaking shops here in Germany
