Well, depends what you want to do. Bolt ons or internals with a rebuild? Here's a good set up of bolt ons for starters. Yowai-SS or PWJDM power chamber intake system, or just a AEM cold air intake. DC Sports 4-1 or 4-2-1 performance header. High flow cat combined with a free flowing cat back exhaust system, Apexi or Greddy are good to choose from. Or just go to a muffler shop and tell them to replace your exhaust with 2.5" piping and free flowing performance muffler. NGK spark plugs and wires. After all of that get a tune. Want a little more ponnies? Remove your power steering and A/C.

power steering and AC delete do not give you noticable hp...it may free up as much as an SRI. Boltons will do. you dont need to go all out, but a GOOD header with a Power chamber style intake or AEM V2 or CAI, paired with a good exhaust IE Mandrel bent 2.36" piping. or you can always get pistons and cams etc

Well thats why I said "a little more ponnies" as in "it ain't much but its a lil bit more". Hence why I didn't say HP lol

best thing to do is do a CTR N1 pully but he commutes in his car so ac removal etc is a bad idea and im assuming he has a DA like his picture, those i think ps deletes fry the rack

if you really want to feel the b20 pull harder, pick up a b16 cable trans, or a b17 trans, either one with give you a noticeable difference than the ls (long ass geared) trans

isnt b16 and b17 trans the same? and the final drive on the b18 tranny is shorter than the 94+ integra. plus as a communter i think he would appreciate a longer 5th gear

yea they're about the same, but i just wanted to mention both short geared trans that were cable. honestly, if he were to do b20vtec with a b16 tranny, his shit would rip

My friend took out his power steering and used a steering rack from a Civic instead.
