Default B16 looking for quick HP

just bought my 92 HB (swapped with a B16a)
just wondering what would be the next best step to give me some HP right away
I wanna start with some smaller stuff and eventually get up to my turbo stage
ive already got type-R pistons, stage 2 clutch, intake, and full ractive exhaust, already removed power steering and air conditioning...
looking for some small things i can do right away
dont know where to start...

Intake Manifold, bigger throttle body, underdrive pulleys, cam, connecting rods, valve springs & retainers, and a turbo setup.
This is my bro right here, Civic Nation up in Calgary!

So you guys are suggesting

1. To boost a B16 with type r pistons that is depending on which type r anywhere from 10.8 to 1-11.1 to 1 compression ratio
2. Telling him to get a new intake manifold when the B16 intake(which is also the ITR and CTR intake manifold) flows great.

IMO you need to learn a little bit before trying to make more power really, do suspension mods

If youre looking to boost, take your car to a shop and have them do it. You should swap out your internals, to ones that can actually handle boost.

So they type R pistons are high compression? If they are high compression shouldn't he be running higher than 87 octane?
The previous owner was an idiot.
Ya if you want to boost it, it's a good idea to have low compression pistons, like 9:1, right?
I think thats right.
