Whoah, 54 posts and no one has mentioned "Flux Capacitor" as a potential mod.....

Seriously though, I am actually for the RB ramair intake (box + duct). It allows the engine to breathe better, and gets nicer gains as the speed increases

Also a nice exhaust will also allow the engine to breathe better. Since I found a sweet deal on a titanium exhaust, I killed two birds with one stone: better flow AND 15Kg of weight reduction

Other than that, the best bet would be a retuned ECU or a piggyback with decent tuning....

I was REALLY suprised, but when I added the pulleys and the cai a couple weeks ago, it made a huge difference. I used to stomp the gas at 3k in 2nd, and it would feel like a dog, now it pulls much harder.

Performance wise:
1) flywheel
2) pulley (Agency Power or Unorthodox)
3) AEM or RB CAI
4) RP highflow cat (it's 3" right)
5) Turbo XS exhaust

... after that
7) RB header
6) $$ final drive (gearing)
7) COBB or RB flash, $$ Interceptor X

Come to think of it, I wonder what an 8 with all this done to it would do?

Yeah, I've already had enough expenses this year. I will more than likely have all those parts soon, but will wait for install.

I couldn't agree more for all those on the road that are either:
1: Jealous they drive a POS and want to keep you driving slow.
2: Wish thier car was as fast, so they get in front of you and drive slow.
3: Wish thier car was a Metallic Panty Remover and get in front of you to drive slow.
4: Did I mention; get in front of you and drive slow. lol

I used to own a 96 civic hatch with one of the first b16 swaps! Spent almost 10 grand on the swap and the car was 8, about 3 grand on appereance and the best ET was a 15.2. all that money and I could have just bought a new rx8. Well, I did! and I like it much better!

I spent 6K on a '91 CRX VTEC with a B16A1, which did 15" flat for the 1/4 mile

Added intake, exhaust, B16B valve train and B16B ECU for another 1,5K, and it dropped to 14,5" just like that

Quick little car, and now almost a classic...
