I pay that coze if low K's and its stock right down to the tape deck

Depnding on how u set it up, it may make u lose power, than gaining it.

I suggest u research more, you seem ot randomly wanting to get many parts at impulse.

Hm I thought the first thing everyone did was get new Air Intake?

well now the brand of air intake and the type of air intake matters too...

since we are driving NA, just changing the filter won't do jack, you need at least a short ram, or better still a Cold Air Induction kit, and that being said, different brands costs vary as well as their performance, you really need to do some research and thinking otherwise you could be making some costly mistakes... and of course there's the slight possibility of losing power inthe case of getting exhaust (too big and you lose power because of compression or somthing like that)

I don't think you'd be wanting to change/swap the engine tho, the premium you paid for the low kms makes it unviable (ie if you wanted the swap it you'd have bought a thrashed one for like 4k, threw out the engine, spend another 4k swapping a b18 in)

Yeah Im keeping this engine for a few years or till I kill it

But the above link is a Cold Air Induction kit including a filter

As for the exhaust compression 2" is about right from what i've read so far?

seach for jords car. that sohc vtec he has goes hard! btw, try redefining ur searches - opening up the search criteria. try a search for 'ecu' 'exhaust size' and 'td04' u will get alot more hits.

That looks more like a short ram but i may be wrong, a CAI usually extends to the bottom of the car, it is exposed to open air, not in the engine bay..
