They never need sleeves or an aftermarket turbo kit, and can make over 400hp before you have to disassemble or re-assemble the engine to make more power than that.
But to make a Honda that you already have go faster... Nitrous is the only way to go without changing what's under your hood... at least if you want to feel the difference on your butt-dyno.

i favor 1st gen talons over any other dsm.
completely stock exterior just lowered 2.5", and clear corners.
by the way to keep it on topic, as mentioned before theres no such thing as cheap horsepower. intake/header/exhaust isnt worth it. it will run you around 500-800 dollars depending on the quality of the products. i spent around 600 dollars and made a homemade turbo kit for myself. Im sure you can figure out whats worth the money.

No more than a 55hp shot. Most D series cars make around 100hp. Whether or not it actually makes your car "fast" is relative, but you'll definitely feel it because 50hp is substantial when you're dealing with hp numbers that low.
