Most Power for least cash???, SS II upgrade Options

[jasonp]

Hey everyone,

First post so forgive me if I have messed anything up. I am looking into an SS II at the moment and should have it in 2 weeks. Thing is I was wonering if a few more horses could be squeezed out without too much work or money.

Essentially I want to be able to rip a type r integra to pieces (my friend owns one and hes intolerable in that thing)

If big money is needed is there a way to sequence a build so that I can continue to upgrade over time??
I ask ye because Ive been reading the forums for a while now and the details and facts that are given are incredible.

Cheap, fast, reliable.
Pick 2.
An SSII is what, 3sge equipped or 5sfe?
Either way, short of a turbo setup, or swap, your not gonna find alot of performance parts that will give you big power cheap.
A good turbo setup will run you 2-4000$ depending on the parts you use.
A decent swap will cost you 4-5000+$ depending on what parts you use, and how much matinence you decide to do.
This assuming you can do the work yourself.
Labor will run the bill up a bunch if not.
