i know who u are..
we just met earlier...
i'm rudi here btw....
nice car... like i have said before, if u want power, go for Exhaust system for a start..
or if u go for looks, go for rims and lowered suspension..

i say go for cold air intake first, or something similar. proven gains and better economy! (so some says) if you get exhaust, imo it feels like kind of a waste without a set of after market headers.

Honda ECU's from factory and perfectly tuned, and have a learning system that retains memorys, and input signals from different sensors, that all together effeiciently runs the car. obviousley having a after market ECU, you can full advantage of you mods, such as adjusting air fuel ratio's etc. but i wouldn't call the stock ECU dumb.
pardon me that was a typo, i meant to say that you CANT call the immaterial coz they are that dumb in response to what 'damienm' posted

1. i got a Apexi air intake kit atm, and is it gonna be better if I replace by a Mugen Air intake kit?
2. what can I do if I meant on bringing more hp under a $2k$ budget?
3. also wondering is there have any specialist or mechanic on tuning DC5R in Adelaide.
thanks for supporting.
1. I will use stock airbox over apex intake.....it just suck in hot air, mugen and gruppM are the best choice for dc5r.....or even J's racing intake..
2. intake, Exhaust is a good start.....

If youre just on a 2k budget spend it on a nice set of coilovers/swaybar/strutbrace. OR save up a bit more than 2K n get a nice header, cat, exhaust, and KPRO.
Not ture!

Well say......

Why you need peak power on street? you only need them if you plan to track ur car.....I have street setup and track setup on mine.....to run on street, you should use legal street parts. illeagal track parts only recommand to use on race track only. Thats why Japanese parts have sticker on them telling you, you can't use them on street.

I am with you bro.....by reading some jap magazine they have dyno prove that bolt on parts did increase ur output. of coz with proper tuning will give you even more

Thanks. Someone who backs me up. i've seen the proof in real life, from before and after dyno's back to back from bolt ons. =)
