Masters: The first thing you should do is put in an AEM cold air intake. Don't was money on short ram intakes as they don't do anything. The CAI will add 8hp to the wheels. Next you ahve to do ur exhaust and make sure it is full cat-back. This adds about 4hp to the wheels. After that do whatever you have money for...but ur gonna have to do some interior engine mods if you want a turbo or super charger.
Also...the info about Si vs. SiR above is incorrect. The difference between the 2 is that the Si has a single overhead cam engine that produces 125hp, while the SiR has a dual overhead cam engine that produces 160hp. Its not just the name.

    That's not the only difference between the Si and the SiR. The SiR has ABS brakes as well as Side Rear-View Mirror Defrosters. The SiR is roughly 35 Kg's heavier but is a lot faster =).

    vtecguy. If you look at dopeness and bob's comments on your review of the civic SiR, you'll see that Master's was refering to the difference between the american Si version of the civic and the canadian SiR. Not the difference between the Si and SiR from Canada. I know this because i had a conversation with him earlier about this very same topic. As dopeness and bob had also stated, it's the heated side mirrors and ABS brakes that are the only difference between the american Si and Canadian SiR.
