So I just did a 96 Jdm ITR motor swap and was wonder what motor upgrades should I do to it next. Want to keep it all motor

 

intake, header, and exhaust already done?

i know you asked for motor upgrade but how about working on suspension or something else, any mod won't give you a lot of gains for the price n/a so you might as well focus your attention somewhere else

 

What are your goals OP? Black Pearl, loving your activness btw

 

Agreed. It's nice to have someone to have intelligent discussions with, too

OP, what's your budget?

Off the top of my head, here's what I'd do:

On a budget (~5whp if that):
-intake
-header
-exhaust

Going all-out
-ITBs with polished runners
-port polished the head
-Brian Crower Stage II N/A spec cams
-Brian Crower dual spring/titanium retainer kit
-Bisimoto V2 equal-length header
-High-flow cat (or test pipe, but I don't recommend running with no cat)
-Cat-back exhaust (my preference would be GReddy Evo II or A'PEXi WSII)


Of course, you also have suspension to consider, too. You'll see more improvement in the car as a whole with well-thought-out suspension work than you will trying to build a N/A Honda engine.

 

Ok so I have dc sport header 2.5 exhaust highflow cat off brand short ram intake, suspension wise I have Kyb agx shocks/struts with ground control coilovers. I was thinking itb but don't no of any good tuners in the dfw area. I have no budget But it's gonna be a slow build from here do to fact trying to save for a wedding. Thanks for the input greatly appreciated

 

Well, you seem to off to a good start then. I'd highly recommend finding a good tuner in your area though; after intake/header/exhaust, most modifications that accomplish anything will require tuning the car. Even a Stage I cam would necessitate a tune for the car to run "right".

Oh, and as a side note, watch out with that AGX/GC combo. In two years I replaced two struts due to leaks, but I was also slammed (~3" drop up front, 3.5" rear).

 

Yep, there is no point in doing any other engine mod without tuning the engine. My first mod I I was in your position would be to tune asap to make use of the intake and header...


And I'm more active cuz I'm back in school, something to do while I'm not paying attention lol
