Basic Intake, Header, and Exhaust if you want to go Naturally Aspired. Other Recommendations would be to get a Skunk2 Intake Manifold.

If you like power for cheap, you can make yourself a Home Made Turbo kit. Buying the important parts from a Junkyard, Such as the Turbo. If you are lucky enough to have a good junkyard that has wrecked WRX's and the like you can get there Turbos, Wastegates, and the such for Rather Cheap.

If you dont know much about Turbos(or dont want to go to Turbod16 or homemadeturbo and learn about them) There are turbo kits out there you can buy. If do plan on Boosting your stock engine, Dont go over 210,220hp and it will be reliable. the internals start to break around 250hp.

If you plan on building up your engine to Turbo, Low compression pistons, such as the Suzuki Vitara Pistions are a good choice, as well as Forged Rods. Another option to help stay away from detonation is Water Injection. At the very least if you are going to build the engine, Put in Forged Rods, the stock rods are the first thing to break in your engine.

There are many options out there for your D16z6. Have fun with your Build. :thumb:

Hey thanks for all of the great advice. Right now I have arp head studs dc headers magnaflow exhaust.. Dont know how I feel about that? VRS wheels. new adjustable cams, and a new clutch. I took out the power steering and the ac. I am new to this though and any point in the right direction is good. I dont however know if I wanna go boost or not its putting out about 125 or so. I just bought a dry flow aem intake and i wanna get an edelbrock intake manifold.. If you guys have any better suggestions on things like that please let me know. I wanna keep it clean and jdm. Thanks for everything.
