300 rwhp?

Nitrous would be the cheapest way initially, but refills add up.
There is no cheap NA method for getting good horsepower into the VQ.

You're not supposed to let newbies know about the Turbonator secret until they have at least 50 posts under their belts. We don't want to spoil them.

Search is a great tool but if you are thinking about 300 crank not wheel hp, an intake and exhaust should get you up there.

Which rating system? May take more if you are talking about the new method. If it performs better you did a good job. Its not like a bell is going to ring when or if you reach 300. Once you start modding there will always be that I can get a little more and it never ends up being a little money either.

that would be the ricer math system. 287 stock + part A "claimed" hp gain of 15-20 hp = 300+ hp

go to discount auto and ask them for a vtec unit off of a 2007 civic si. That will give you the best bang for the buck

Definitely good for at least 15hp. Then the Nismo radiator and oil cap will get ya to 300hp easily, maybe even 301hp if youre lucky.
