Bash out the cat lol. It's not a VL commodore mate. Do it proper. You know hondata will run you around 3000 big ones once installed and tuned too right?

K&N FIPK,best bang for the buck and its not super expensive as the mugen one
PLM header
Test pipe 70mm
Invidia single 70mm or any other 70mm single exhaust
And BC stage 2 cams,(i wanna get them so bad)with upgraded springs/retainers
either a KPRO OR AEM V2

Thanks guys, Im not a fan of single exhaust but an exhaust place told me go 2 1/4 hope thats good enough for performance.
are there many quick N/a hondas around in sydney? I know turbo is the way to go but the reason im not interested is because
im worried the motor might die eventaully killing its life span and it will be hard to sell in the future and especially
good luck getting a trade inn.

Cheers

Stroke it to 2.2 or 2.4 litres. No substitute for capacity. With the cams you will easily make your +30hp.

Disconnect a couple of coil leads and you'll make 30hp.

there are a few stores in sydney that can get you hondata and mugen exhaust if you wanted them but expect to pay big coin for them brand new.

If you can I suggest you get the j's fx70rs dual ti exhaust

I went 60mm the first time since I was advise that 70mm was too big for my motor and well i did wish i went 70mm in the first place!
u want gains.. 70mm is the way to go as the others have said

can you get a PLM header to fit our cars.i thought they were only designed to fit american s2000's.if you can where can you buy them from

I don't want to be the first one on the thread to come across as cynical... but it sounds to me like some of the most valuable advice right now could be that that dropping clutch at the lights is to be done at your own (diff's) peril..

The above advice is top notch and I think a search would find you hundreds of recent threads on s2ki with similar advice, just note that power is only part of what makes these cars as quick as they are... which is why the advice regarding suspension, final drive and tyres is a lot more valuable than your response would imply.

Best of luck I/H/E/Cat/Cam changes either way.

As someone who has been there/done that, best be ready for that feeling of disappointment. This car is very highly tuned from the factory, so expecting significant gains from bolts-ons is a bit unrealistic (regardless of what the manufacturuer says). Evens cams show little to no gains. Why? Because our car comes with lumpy high end cams from the outset, it's just that with VTEC they don't kick in till the high end anyway, so you don't sacrifice low end driveability.
