Default cheap power?

i just put an intake on my 95 si, and love the sound and the pull. how can i get more cheap power. i dont want to do any exhaust work. ive heard of changin the coil and a new fuel pressure regulator giving it a nice boost, is this true? any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Cheap power does not exist.

Don't ruin your car.

exhaust is just about as easy as an intake.. whole cat back is maybe 6 bolts?

cheap power = doesnt exsist. i/h/e are the basic bolt ons best bang for your buck mod you can do ..

Get a ZEX nitrous kit. A dry kit you can get for like $650, 65 Horses right there, and its more or less bolt on.

zex has wet kits individual port injection for ~$850.. much safer than a dry shot imo. + w/ the multiple injections you can use a lower spray, or manage a higher amount better.. just make sure if you do go F/I that your engine can handle it, theres nothing like going 135mph and throwing a piston thru your hood and blowing the crank seal and then realizing your brakes are fudging up because of it and then shitting yourself because your 10 feet from a wall.

go with a cat back system. prolly a good 5-10 horse depending on the kit.maybe more with some different mods. don't try to rely on "cheap" power. you'll juss find yourself frustrated and disappointed

since you got the intake system, then you need something to release the air out more efficently. Headers, CAT, and exhaust, a nice way to free up some ponys

more air needs more fuel... honda tend to run lean, so look into fuel management as well... there's no cheap way to get true power
