I would keep it for a wee while,then when you get bored,slap a turbo kit on it.Can be done pretty cheap and these motors love F.I.They respond well to it.

well the plan is to drive it around until the winter and i have the funds then bring it back into the garage for the turbo kit 400 dollars can get you everything you need. Then get it back out after that well thats the plans that are floating about now anyway.

A vtec head? You mean a DOHC D series head? Tbh, you should just head straight for the turbo mate.

yeah am stickin the vtec head on it actually gives more power when it has the vtec head. and the bottom end is the exact same as the vtec only difference in the engines is literally the head. keeping away from the turbo until i have the funds to do the work.

Aye but not a massive amount more. If you're waiting a bit, then fair enough it'll be a bit more power until then.
