Biggest Power Increase for Least Cash, SS II upgrade to beat type r Options

[jasonp]

Hey everyone,

First post so forgive me if I have messed anything up. I am looking into an SS II at the moment and should have it in 2 weeks. Thing is I was wondering if a few more horses could be squeezed out without too much work or money.

Essentially I want to be able to rip a type r integra to pieces (my friend owns one and hes intolerable in that thing)

If big money is needed is there a way to sequence a build so that I can continue to upgrade over time??
I ask ye because Ive been reading the forums for a while now and the details and facts that are given are incredible.

but then of course an n/a type r vs a gt-4 car isnt really the same race. of course you will beat him, but the cars are not in the same categorey. You can get some cams, toda cam gears, lightweight crankshaft pulley, bolts on-s such as cai flywheel, exhaust, power deck spacer. uhh anything else i missed??

or you can just turbo the 3sge which will cost somewhere around $2,500 by keeping boost very low while using stock internals.

or by a ss-I which has a week 3sfe engine and swap it out for a rare somewhat hard to find parts for, 3sge beams redtop which produces 197 hp.
