What year/model? If its a DX, an MPFI swap is one of the best for your money.

You know how to "install" a turbo, but not how to build a NA motor? Okay...dirrty said:
NA is easy, just not cheap.
Improve airflow with a port/polish/aggressive cam, increase compression ratio. Add tuneability parts like cam gear, fpr, some kind of EMS and then spend several hours on the dyno.
But I say save up your money and get a new keyboard that has a working shift key.

Thats what i want, Swap out the engine to a b18, and build it all NA with enough power to beat an Evo in a race.
About the only thing to do then is ajd the timing to get a little more horsepower. Adding more fuel might help as well. Just save the money and get the swap that you want.

why do you want to exclude 3 basic things? have you already done them? does your car already have mpfi? If it doesnt dont waste you time trying to go all motor dpfi DX. If its easy, then do it first they are pretty much required things to get the most hp.

Pardon my brevity, as I am replying from my phone.
Ok, so you want to make more power, and now you have a basically an si setup. You have 3 best case options. Minime, motor swap, or turbo. For some reason you at no turbo. Ok. It looks like you are set on a b18, that's good, I prefer that motor to a b16 even. To be honest though, I would build a single cam with the money you be putting into a b18 swap. Once we get toms car setup it'll run with the b16/b18ab swaps for a fraction of the cost.
Soo many options, the way I see it, the d16 and b18 are great turbo platforms, the minime is the cost effective all motor option, and the b18c is the first swap you should conside if you are dead set on all motor.
Check my signature, and guess which car is faster...
