hey guys i am in search of more power. What do you think is the next bolt on i should do? I'm not looking to do any major upgrading since this is a daily driver. Here's the current set up right now.

1997 Civic EX
td04-15g greddy turbo kit
greddy type 31 intercooler
turboxs rfl bov
lucas 440cc injectors
vafc(afc hack)
turboxs dual stage boost controller(5.5psi/10psi)
Aem power pulleys
msd wires w/ ngk +1 step colder plugs
2.5" dual tanabe exhaust

any advice would be great...thanks

You could try adding a MSD 6BTM ignition box that would make a world of difference.

maybe do some small headwork, like a more aggressive cam. that would give you some nice power

i was thinking about a cam. But if i get a cam, wouldn't i have to change out my valve springs and retainers too?

most of the time, it realy depends on what cam you get!

how about workign with what you have now? Take the afc and trash it. put in a hondata and use a 3-bar map. you canthen run up to 12-14 lbs on that motor when properly tuned and make 250 or so wheel power. how's that for an upgrade?

I couldn't agree more. I'm going with a hondata now, and can't believe I didn't do it sooner!

hondata , a turbo spec cam , retainers and valve springs , head work , some dyno time ... good place to start

My next step would be a set of rods and pistons so I would know it's reliable. Screw Hondata www.pgmfi.org
