so far its pretty much stock. its got usdm type-r headers, type-r car, and an exedy racing clutch. what should i go for? should i go for i/h/e or should i just go for a skunk2 manifold and build up the internals instead?

Might as well do the i/h/e first. Then some cams, cam gears, and a little tuning.

do you have any cooling problems using the stock radiator and fan? my old engine was a d16y8 and they're kinda tiny...

also, do you think the OEM fuel pump can push the extra juice?

I personally wouldn't to the crossdrilled/slotted rotors. but that's just me.

I went with Brembo flat rotors and ceramic/metal pads. I think it' going to work fine.

for brakes? Buy Dc2 Knuckles swap them into your car, buy a 91 4 door EX MC, then you will have stopping power. Screw this tiny ass stock EG civic crap


If i had a GSR with your mods, the next mod id do would be an intake manifold, cams, cam gears and then tuning.

make sure up drop in a gsr fuel pump or better. maybe a fuel reg and guage, and then the basic bolt ons.Then when you are ready to get head work(valves,springs,retainers,P&P,ect.), get cams and cam gears and chip the ecu. That should keep you happy for a while then brakes,stiffer suspen,ect.
