ok i already have a cai, new spark plugs wires, new spark plugs a 1.6 zc vtecengine swap and a intake chip. i was wondering if i should get a full exhuast kit with headers or put a new cam and a new intake header in first lol cause i am not the richest guy in the world

 

intake chip.....did you get it off ebay? If so, get rid of that thing ASAP.

a header, exhaust and intake manifold (i'm guessing thats what you mean by intake header) will give you maybe 10 or 15 hp at the MOST, a turbo kit is your best bang for your buck, but if you're not the richest guy, that route really isnt for you. A cam would do you some good as well, and that wont be too expensive

 

lolwhatswrong with the chip

 

it alters the signal sent by your intake air temperature sensor, and tricks your car's computer into thinking the air going into you car is colder than it actually is.

basically this means your car is likely running a tad on the rich side

this is definitely not good for your engine

 

lol was it one of the $25 ebay ones? It's not a chip, its tricking your ECU.....read this guy:

so even with a cai its bad to have

 

definitely get rid of that thing.

How much money do you got to spend, like whats your budget? If you've got $1500 or so, you could piece teogether a turbo kit (although it is a long process/project), but if you're lookin just for a I/H/E car thats fun to drive around town, get a header and catback, along with lowering springs/sway bars for your suspension. Strut bars help too.
