Well...
You can pretty much see what I had to do at http://linus.highpoint.edu/~hleach/speed

You need a civic/CRX EFI head (12V), manifold and suitable dual carbs, and a header is highly suggested which means you need a CRX Si oil pan, and since you'll be making more power than honda ever intended that stock clutch to ever handle, you'll need a better clutch, and since an open diff is a PITA to drive with that much power in the rain I'd suggest an LSD, and to make sure it all starts correctly in all weather and all that jazz, you'll need to upgrade the ignition system... so yeah... It's a highly expensive chain of events, but I've been able to stretch my progression over 2 years never leaving my car out of commission for more than a week since it's been put on the road.

To get an initial idea of cost, hit up www.carbs.net look for honda kit #K703, should be about $1200 for the carbs, manifold and linkage.

It's not for everyone, I know, but I guess I get some sadistic pleasure in having people adamently accusing me of having a hybrid
