Default Still Need More Power!

So I got the Jackson Race header, AEM CAI, Greddy EVO exhaust and I can feel the HP gains? But Power is an addiction, I need more HP. I plan to do the ECU upgrade but just need to find the right time I can go without my ride, and I thought about a new throttlebody or lightweight flywheel. What do you guys think my next upgrade should be? Where can i get more NA power from?

And Im still working on the before and after pics, and i'll give the link to my cardomain page when its all done in maybe a week.

Can you get the ITR cams for it yet?? :dunno:

I'm assuming you're set on NA? Which is completely cool, I think unfortunarely turbo is becoming a fad.

Yeah I guess turbo is just a silly fad amongst those PERFORMANCE ENTHUSIASTS.

you are never going to get any *real* power (read above 250 whp) without going turbo or getting a large displacement engine which I dont think is an option for you.

If I were you, I'd save up alot, get JE or equivalent custom pistons w/ a lowered cr (to 8.5 or 9:1) and a larger T3/T4 hybrid or even a straight T4, pauter or other quality rods, a relatively mild camshaft, titanium retainers and springs, a better flowing head (dunno much abound hondas) and at least a 3-inch turboback with no cats. That would be a fast car. Now you just have to deal with traction with your wrong wheel drive car

Cam gears are worthless on K20 series motors.

Toda Engine Kit, if youre staying N/A. Combined with the K20A ECU flash, should satisfy you.

The Jackson Racing Super Chargers are out for RSX Type-S. In general you should get around a 40% HP gain, that is of course, if your budget allows.
