:werd: get new clutch, flywheel, hondata im gasket, all new seals and gaskets if applicable. u dont need a header, msd, or the over priced aem intake if ur gonna go turbo. as far for cams and cam gears, get a set of itr cams and some gears, cuz u can utilize now and later. have fun bro.

this thread is out of control....
if you are planning on turbo then...
A: dont waste your money on a AEM Cia v2...hell even if you were staying NA dont waste your money on that crap.
B: spend your money first on things that you need to do to the motor....ie...timing belt and water pump, new thermostat, cap rotor, wires, plugs, etc etc.
C: if you still have money do like suggested above and get things that will transfer over for your turbo application.
everyone below this line I want to punch in the face

Ok sop what I have gathered from all this is forget the AEM V2 intake, msd ignition, and the header......go with ITR cams and cam gears, hondata IM gasket, tune up (plugs, wires, rotor button, cap), and then save for the hondata and turbo stuff correct? Is there really a need for a new timing belt and water pump if the engine only has 30K on it? Correct if any of this is wrong please.

if you are sure about going turbo, skip all the crap. (V2, ignition, header, gears) wait until you know for sure what turbo setup you are going with, and go from there.

What?
I advise you to read this : http://auto.howstuffworks.com/engine.htm
A more powerful spark will do nothing except maybe burn the fuel more efficiently, which is also the reasoning behind having more then one spark per revolution.
