Sell it and buy a Type R.

Otherwise don't bother.

Not cheaply on those engines; new exhaust system (Manifold, decat, B pipe and back box) and a decent induction kit are about the only things you could do reasonably but you would be lucky to see 10 BHP from them. You could turbo it, or K20 swap it (Type R engine) but the costs are ridiculous so with Type Rs getting cheaper it isn't worth it.

Just save up and make the jump to an EP3 later smile
