I just completed my I/H/E upgrades. I've got the V2 intake, Megan header, and Tsudo exhaust. I also put in a set of Denso Iridium plugs. What other steps can I take to get more power without getting into forced induction as this is my daily driver. I don't necessarily mean bolt ons, but anything. I'm thinking my next step will be an Apexi VAFC 2. And maybe after that a cam/cam gear upgrade. Does that sound like a good plan?

Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what I should do next?

How much HP do you think I could get without getting into forced induction with my D17A2??

 

so nobody has ANY input on this?

 

I would do a cam before you do VAFC and then get the VAFC to tune the cam. I am not sure how much there is out there in terms of aftermarket support for your specific engine type, so I can't really say what the potential is. You could also do some headwork such as port and polish, springs, retainers, etc. Just a thought.

 

thanks, i appreciate the input...i was thinking tonight that the last thing i should probably do is put the VAFC in so that after I get everything done I want to do I can get it tuned and not have to pay a mechanic to do it over and over....so thanks again for the advice....
