I/H/E won't do much at all for this car except maybe lower its weight a bit.

Try work from Alaniz or FI. Gears are another option.

How much can you get from I/H/E then? 10whp? 15whp?

yeah maybe 10-15whp? i'm not certain, so maybe someone who has dyno proven their results can let us know.

however, if you have the money, I'd go for the 4.57 gears. with the 4.57 gears your car will be like a new machine. the gearing makes such a huge difference and makes the car a fair amount faster.

4.57 gears are $590. install will vary depending on who you find to do it. Maybe $500 at a honda dealer for the install?

Also get the yellow box ($90) because you will need it to adjust your speedometer.

you can get info and these mods from www.ricks2k.com and rick DOES ship internationally.

Also, those prices are US currency, so you'd obviously have to calculate what that is in your currency.

your car WILL be faster with the gears mod, than with i/h/e

You'd be lucky to get 10whp.

When you factor in how much mods are for this car the tradeoff just isn't there IMO.

Let's say:

$800 for used Mugen header
~$200 for used AEM or around $1,000 for used Mugen intake
~$300 for used Invidia or around $1,100+ for used Amuse exhaust

You're looking at at least $1,500 to $3,000 depending which route you go for maybe 10 extra whp? If that sounds like it's worth it to you then by all means go for it.

How fast is your CTR now, I would think the S in stock form is faster.

The header and hondata is not installed yet. But I have I/E now and 50km/h-150km/h is 10sec with one extra person in the car.
What does the s2k do 50km/h-150kh/h in?

FI or NOS
its tuned well from the factory. most mods just reduce weight with no gains or very little.
