Need some advice on parts... noob sorry :(

Yes you can boost a stock motor. However a stock motor is usually only good to around 300hp, then you should worry about your rods breaking. I rebuilt my B18b1 and i'm going to run about 7psi on it. It will probably come up around 230hp. Chances are I will build the motor later down the road though.

oh and the 4-2-1 headers are megan headers not factory. sorry i didnt specify
and the intake/filter is Injen

Not trying to be a douche, but your car has a header, not headers. My advice to you is to get a good repair manual. I have the actual Haynes manual and a PDF version of the Helms, and my vote goes to the Helms. It's a lot more detailed and thorough.

my vote goes to suspension/tires/brakes. What good is power if you can't control it, get it to the pavement or slow it down at the end of the ride

I'm with this guy!

I completely agree first thing i did to my teg when i bought it was slam it on adjustable coil overs and new struts. i got a set of skunk2 coil overs with kyb gr2 struts for around 300 fairly cheap and a lot better handling

yeah that's going to be on the list next not to slam it but the suspension. brakes just got replaced but i could use better ones. i'm in the Tri - Cities area

and headers/header point is you knew what i was talking about even if i didnt xD

 

[emd513]

Do the basic cheaper stuff first then hit with the heavier stuff next. I started with simple install stuff. Strut bars all the way Found. Header intake shocks and springs. Then upgraded all my bushings which by the way for fucking bushings its expensive. Then after you get it handling the way you like and stopping don't necessarily have to upgrade calipers just the pads I would start playing with the Internals. Some advice if your going to use it as your daily go find you a head evans honda in Newport have a ton just don't let them douche you around on price. Put it together then throw it on so you will have everything done to it and want be down long.

yeah i probably wont be doing any big engine work that i have to pull the thing out anytime soon since it is my daily. Strut bars are what exactlly? like i said i'm a noob. i know what they are just dont know what they do and all that stuff or how to install them

 

[emd513]

The top one for the front and back go on top of the shock tower two bolts off then plate then back on and make the adjustment tight. They help with the body roll. Better for cornering

the gold bar is the front strut upper

ah tyvm Emd i had no clue xD is it a pretty noticable difference?
