I just got a 2000 Honda civic SI. Bone stock. I got 5 g's to put into it. What should I do?, besides turbo, supercharge, nos. I just want to stay N/A for the time beeing.

Skunk2 Exhaust
AEM Cold Air Intake
DC 4-2-1 Header
VTEC Controller

What else should I do for "power" upgrades?

Thank you in advance
 
Personally, I wouldn't do anything right now. I would just enjoy the car as it is. If you insist on doing mods, I would stick with those that you mentioned.
 
scrap the vtec controller and get hondata, get a 4-1 header, not a 4-2-1, redo the intake manifold, cams, cam gears, clutch, flywheel, and maybe some pistons, are you looking for parts you can just bolt on? these things can be mean little cars in an all engine set up cuz of the b16, but the vtec controllers a no no, get hondata s200 and have the car tuned, hondata is a vtec controller, but it handles all aspects of the tuning
 
already answered this before...

wanna have some fun with it ehhh?? well for starters you can take the vtec controller and throw it in the garbage. people dont understand that vtec engagement points are set from the factory at its optimal point....otherwords where the motor and car as a whole will benifit the most. this is something hondas r and d department spent millions of dollars on to figure this out.... you really only need one if you start building the motor in which case vtec engagement needs to be adjusted slightly to optimize performance, but buy that time a chipped ecu and a good run on a dyno can do.

now things you can do to get a little more umph out of the girl is cams. do a stage 1 cams, and chip the ecu afterwords and tune it. this will give her some go. other than that.....any more you wanna do is going to cost some cash and motor work.... cams are something that you can do pretty easy on a weekend.

as of what these two said bout bigger injectors....that would be a noooo. stock honda injectors work fine for an na set up for quite a while. now if you plan on adding boost....dsm blues (440cc) work perfect for most normal turbo set ups
