Bolt ons will not do much. INtake, header, and exhaust will give the most like 10-15 hp MAX.
The best thing to do is a motor swap, turbo or supercharge it.

Ya, Honda basically squeezed everything out of the D17 as they could. Just swap and/or turbo it.

Re: Improve horsepower and torque?
the bolt ons do make some of a difference though, a cold air and full exhaust and u should feel the difference...not by much but the car will be a little quicker off the line

Doing a motor swap in most cases you get a more powerful engine. Most guys swap the D series engine for a B series engine - out of a INtegra LS, GS, GSR (170hp), or B16A (160hp) motor out of the Del Sol, 99-00 Civic Si, or JDM motor. Some more extremists do the Prelude motor (H22 or H23 - 200hp).

cam shaft
if you dont want to do the work of turbo, supercharger or swap. buy a longer duration cam. you could see up to 30 hp if the correct cam is selected. along with that cam if you have an extra $150 beans throw an adjustable timing gear on and do a valve adjustment. you will be happy. i was.
