6th Gen civic B16A2 engine

[ManicMushroom]

what would be the easyest way to get the 1.6 VTEC B16A2 engine in a civic, 160 bhp standard to around 190 bhp?

i have heard somewere about doing headerwork costing around a grand, was wondering if anyone else has had some luck with cheaper alternitives

Cheapest way would be to sell your B16A2 and buy a B18C6 out of an Integra Type R, and tune that a little. Getting 190bhp out of a B16 would cost mega money for an normally aspirated build. The other alternative would be to turbo it.

true true, but i wanted to stay away from turbos/superchargers as the eaton M45 off a mini cooper s will push the power to about..... actually, thats a good point, that should do for about 200-230 bhp.
