If you really want power, It would be best to go Turbo. You can part a junkyard kit together for the cheap. homemadeturbo.com and turbod16.com has many awesome articles on how to set up home made turbos.

If you want to Stay N/A then do the Minime, While you are at it, clean out your vtec solenoid, Get a Better cam and then the Basic I/H/E. It will be good fun, however if you run up against a Boosted D15/16, You will most likely loose.

Also, like chrono404 said, a good set up with intake, headers, and exhaust wouldnt hurt and isnt THAT expensive. Who needs exhaust though... just straight pipe it all the way .. im kidding... In the end though, if you are willing to go with a mini me swap, I would go do a full d16z6 swap.

MOT UK law is shit. I/H/E would be fine. If you're planning on keeping the D series, save up and boost it.

- Thu May 01, 2008 2:02 pm #53413 what head could i swap just to give me vtec??
also. my d15b2 doesnt have a fuel line were as say a d16z6 would. what does that mean? is it just coz i havent got vtec?
