nar these guys are being dicks...i'm not too sure myself but since its a SOHC VTEC, it wouldnt have a clear kick in like DOHC VTECs. My fat F23 Kicks in depending on manifold pressure. anywhere from 2300 to 3900. Red line being 6800 ish. same could applie to your engine ?

Dont use too much psi, your VTEC might fall off

It kicks in at around 5000rpm I think, not sure of the exact rpm. You can tell when it kicks in, the engine sounds different and becomes more powerful. But its only an SOHC VTEC so its not going to be a huge performance difference.

Its a D16Y4 yeah? The engine code is stamped on the engine at the front near the gearbox.

Intake Headers and Exhaust are a start (I/H/E).

intakes aint hard to put on??

[EuroDude]

Since you just got the car, u should replace all the filters and oils/fluids.
Replace the Air Filter with a K&N panel replacement (~100) for a small performance increase.

How much do u wanna spend?

Very easy - between 4 to 6 screws depending.
