Default Help: B18C mods

What can i do to my engine to get more proformance out of it. I already have an intake and headers but i would like to know what kind of stuff i can do to the inside of my engine to make it faster. I have a friend who has a B20 and he did alot of shit to it because it kicked my ass. Please help

cams, valvetrain, pistons, turbo....basically how fast do you want to go and how much are you willing to spend?

your intake and header will be useless if you get a turbo. same as if you were to get high compression pistons and cams now.

I would highly advise just hanging around the forums for awhile (especially this forum, the Civic forum, and the Integra forum) and asking general questions, reading info, etc.

It's blatantly obvious that you don't know a good deal about your engine or engines in general. If you just jump into modding, you'll either end up wasting your money on useless mods or you'll blow your engine damn quick. This isn't an insult, everyone starts at this point sometime, and you're just jumping into things a little faster than you should.

Did you buy the car with the b18 already in it or swap it yourself?
