    usually ... you start with high tension wires and some good kinds or spark plugs ...

    k&n filters which will give you the added wind power ...

    and i guess i good motor oil synthetic or a duralube additive

    budget for this around 10k .....

    what type of filter are you referring? the Drop ins? if you don't have the money to burn, go for simota first, it's way cheaper.

    An upgrade of the headers will also add some hp to your engine.

    For shops, try going for shops in evangelista or banawe. There are lots of surplus or 2nd hand you might wanna try first.

    sir start ka muna sa oil, yun maganda then put an oil additve, dapat madulas yun oil mo para less ang friction to produce more horsepower. after nun -modify mo na engine mo.

    You don't need to add an additive... it's a needless expense. Buy a good synthetic oil and leave it as is.

    Synthetic oils already have additive blends mixed in... if you're adding another additive on top of that, the results can be a little unpredictable.

    And mineral + additive is still not as good as a good synthetic. Buy a synthetic with a good base stock, and leave it as is. A good synthetic will resist wear and breaking down over time than a poor oil bolstered with additives... additives will break down over time, anyway.

    You don't need high tension wires unless your old ones are already cracked or have high resistance. Unless you're making much more power than stock, OEM replacements (i.e.: Honda branded) will do.

    For the proper plugs for your ride, review Honda forums and see what the performance pros recommend for the D15. I'll bet they will all swear by the stock NGKs.

    As for airfilters, best combo is a Simota tube and a K&N cone filter. The K&N is expensive, but it's much better, and worth the money.

    But these are all "efficiency" mods... the sum total of which will probably only be about 5-6 hp. For more power, it's either turbo, engine swap or exhaust work. Exhaust work for the City should cost 30,000 or less, total, for a good exhaust. Turbo? Maybe 80,000. Engine swap? About 100,000 pesos will get you a Honda B16A engine with 170 hp... about the same as you would get with a turbo (or a little more) and it's more reliable.

    Set aside money for good performance tires and brake pads... you'll need them if you're going for power.

    Hey, speed isn't cheap.

    call me at the store ... i can refer you to a k&n supplier pero got to warn you ... mahal yan ...

    if you like simota is a good replacements ... maraming taiwan around 500 - 700 + yung filter and pag kasama extension i think about 2000 - 3000 + more or less

    if you have money to burn try looking for ichiban motor parts ... this shop will try to hook you up if you wanna change engine ... pero not sure if has any honda engines ... usually toyota

    pero in banawe there are lots of shops try looking there na lang ...

    Simple... exhaust plus full cat tubing.... equals fifty to seventy horses and your engine will breathe better cause of more air coming in.. but more in fuel consuption

    speed is expensive
