B swap!
I think the amount of benefit you get out of CHEAP bolt on engine mods to a D-series is not that high per dollar spent.
If you want the car to sound better just take the resonator box out, run a piece of heat poof pipe from the front bar to the bottom of the stock airbox, and just change the panel filter to something like a K&N. As I said before though this won't really do much for power but at least this will minimise heat soak from a poorly designed short RAM intake.
I think your money is better spent on improving the handling of the car with an upgraded pair of springs/shocks or coilovers, A light weight pair of rims and tyres to reduce rotational mass, and a lightweight flywheel and clutch combination.
If power is your sole aim then as above swap a B16a/B18c in ;)
rather then a another B swap go K swap.Quote:

True... I can't not agree with that considering my car has a K20z1 haha... I was just thinking of the cheaper options for more power ;)Quote:

nah, but if you want the most power possible no point starting at B then having to part it all just to go K.
But yeh B swap is your more economical.
