ok.. intake isnt really going to help out a lot... may add about 5- 15 HPs.. same as exahuat...another 5 - 15 HP... youll prob have to do alot of stuff to get another 100 hp.. unless if u just run NOS..or a Turbo kit.. but i would start w/ intake, and full exahust.. get some headers and new cams...this here will cost u righ a round 1000$

To get that much more horsepower, get a bolt on turbo. You should probably do your exhaust before though. Turbo+Small exhaust = bad. And "doing your exhaust" does not mean adding a coffee can to the end of your stock exhaust. dont know too much about hondas.

best thing to do is save up and get a swap. otherwise you'll be wasting your money on little things.

save up for a turbo. if not, get ready to spend a lot of money just to get that much horsepower.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Feasibly a turbo is the easiest way to get what you want, but you might need to upgrade your engine internals for the additional stress. I don't see too many turbo'd delsols

that engine can handle a lot of boost with stock internals. if you know a guy name MatT3T4, he use to hav a B16 with 17psi on stock block. Jason (st00pid) ran 20psi on a stock block B18B1 (daily driven). the more important thing to worry about is air and fuel supply. i say run 6psi and the goal of 250 or whatever should be achievable.
