Skunk2 intake mani £300 Skunk2 cams around £400 Skunk2 springs n retainers £400 Decent exhaust £200-£300 Ecu £150 Proper map £300 Be aswell to boost it

The setup I described in your other post is a sensible budget setup. You won't achieve a huge amount more n/a unless you look at going high comp and/or itbs. Which is gonna cost a packet. In which case boost is better value imo. If your on a budget and want a little more. I'd look for a skunk intake manifold. Some type r or skunk cams. Dual valve springs will be a good idea can safely raise the rev limiter a bit. A larger throttle and a decent exhaust setup. And a p28 to tune on.

I'm nearing the end of an NA build with mine and its all been done to a budget (mostly). Blox inlet manifold (these are close enough to being the same as the Skunk2 inlets for a fraction of the price, I got mine second hand for £150) DC2 integra cams and valve springs, it might take a bit of digging but you can get a set of cams for £200 and I think the springs were an extra 50. On top of this I got an engine rebuild kit which came with YCP B16B pistons. the kit was approximatly £500 but I had to pay a fair chunk in import tax and shipping as it came from the states. it also included a full set of king bearings and seals for the whole engine. An ebay special 4-2-1 stainless manifold with a 2.5 inch collector to go with my exisitng 2.5 inch mongoose exhaust. the manifold was about £160, The exhaust was on the car when I got it. The car is going on the dyno in the next week or two when I get everything buttoned up finally and honestly none of us have any clue what kind of power its going to make. all we know is the compression ratio is higher than any of the factory engines, with VERY approximate napkin maths it should be nearly 13:1. you can pick and choose how far you want to go with yours but obviously some of the mods require some of the others to work, and once you get past a certain point you really do need to Map it otherwise it will never be right. Also bear in mind that if you do the inlet manifold it means deleting the IAB's which caused me some headaches in the beginning. I'll be doing a full update in my build thread once I get time to sort through all the photographs.

Thanks Yes thats the main thread ive read many times good info in there but still left me clueless on how to go about... Like i said i will pull out the seats in both cars this weekend and see whats what underneath.. Cheers

Seen cars 6 or 7 years old that look as bad if not worse underneath. Love the model very detailed

Turbo is the way to go for serious power gains. It's probably better if you tell us what you want. There are multiple ways to gain power, but also at different prices.

Looks brilliant. I especially love the alcantara covering the wood effect interior trim. I wonder whether using alcantara just there would look good...got me thinking
