Default Im a cheap, cheap guy

Ok, i must first say that i have to be the cheapest guy... the only thing I enjoy spending my money on is food, and thats because it takes a lot to keep up my slick boyish figure. Well anyways I wanna know cheap ways to increase HP on my d15b7 in my 95 civic coupe, i already have a cat back exhaust system on it. and I was wondering what cheap things I can do to boost HP without going turbo or NOS.

There's an old saying that goes something like this:

"How fast do you want to go? How much money do you want to spend?"

You can slap an intake and a header on there, but essentially you're not going to make much power over stock. The engine is built to be fuel efficient and low emissions, that's about it.

best bang for your buck is a swap...b18a or b18b are pretty cheap...you can pick up b20b long blocks for a good price too

you can also build a intercooled junkyard turbo kit for on average ~$1k...you can boost 6-7psi on an fmu with pretty good reliability
