thank you have a great day

 

engine mods, lots of them available just depends on what you want to do.... to get started I'd probably get a SRI intake off ebay and buy a good filter for it and then purchase a set of OBX headers and consider getting an exhaust system.... the standard starters I/H/E

 

I4. I4. I4. INLINE FOUR. Just making that clear.

Like sir_nasty said, intake/header/exhaust are the very basic mods. As for your mileage, I have 193k and Im just beginning to mod mine. Just keep up your regular maintenance and you shouldnt have any issues.

 

F series SOHC are very boost friendly so a turbo is a good way to go........

 

I hate when people get them confused. Anyway like other people said I/H/E will boost you up 20-30hp maybe. You might also be thinking of getting a chip.

 

Holy crud, I thought I was the only one bothered by that! I hate it! I was car shopping and I see so many stupid dealers listing these cars as v4... pet peeve!!!

 

No, it annoys the hell out of me too. Honda has never made a V4 engine for a car. Lancia made V4s way back in the day, European Fords had a couple, but mostly you would find a V4 in a motorcycle or an outboard engine on a boat. Cars have inline four cylinders.

You know what else bugs me? When people say they want "headers" for an inline motor car, i.e. an I4 or I6. Its just one header, not two. HeaderS go on V engines, V6 or V8.
