i just got an aem cold air intake and i love it. however, it's not enough. i want to know everything i should get for this car to make it fly. it is a 92 lewd vtec. but it has over 180,000 miles on it. should i get another engine or have it overhauled? remember, i am not a millionare. thanx

if you already have a vtec i would not spend the money to get an engine swap in my book its just not worth it....if your car is fine as it is then you should just stick with your current engine until it breaks or something because a swap will run you 4000+ which isnt what i would call cheap, however for starters to increase your horsepower you proly see many people saying how they will start with an i/e/h which is is a cai, or cold air intake which you already have, an exhaust, and a header. Header of the three will probably boost your hp and speed the most. K good luck =)

Where you from Bucky? I wasn't aware they made a 1992 VTEC lude in the US... Maybe your engine doesn't actually have that much mileage on it, and has already been swapped. They don't roll back the odometer when they replace the engine.
