Default 1.6 VTEC 3 .......tuning?

Hey Guys!

A lil intro from my side first. I bought my first honda civic a few months back. Its a 4 door, 2002 model, 1.6L, VTEC 3, SOHC engine. My other car is a Charade GTti, (1.0L EFI twin cam turbo). Since I am new to Civics I dont know much about upgrading it performance wise.

There is also one more thing, where ever I have searched on the internet I have always come across a 1.7L instead of a 1.6L engine for 2001 and above models??? Is Pakistan the only country where this car has a 1.6L engine?

Could someone please give me some tips on performance tuning for this car, as to where to start from? Intake, exhaust? Is there a turbo kit available for this model? And if there is what side (bad) effects could it have on the 100% stock engine?

Thanks,
Ahtasham

Do you know the engine code? It should be stamped onto the block of your motor. Im not familiar with the other trims found overseas on the newer Civics.
