Is the D16 VTEC or Non-VTEC. If its not VTEC, why not just get a new VTEC head.

its Vtec, but you bring up a good point. get a head from a 96-00 sohc vtec. it will bump the compression about half a point, which will increase your power across the powerband.

best bang for your buck would be a nitrous kit, if that's what you are into. If not then I would recommend the basics to get started... intake, header, exhaust.

can a stock honda engine really take that much nitrous?

Just save up for a swap would be your best bet IMO.

If you really wanna keep that setup I would do the basics CAI, Header, High-Flow Cat, Cat-Back exhaust. If you shop around and do all the installs yourself you should be able to do all of these for 1K.

RE: Bang for the buck.

we shot 50 on the d15 for over a year, and never had any problems with it whatsoever. even though the d series rods are pencil thin. a swap is the best long term investment you can make. the overall power potential is better than the sohcs.
