theres nothing much you can do without spending big £££
best that can be done is increased air intake and free flow exhaust
im on the same boat so my plans are the suspention upgrades get it lowered and stiffend so you can take the corners without loosing to much speed
hope this helps

Welcome to the forum mate.
When I had my d14, I had a full exhaust system, aftermarket air intake with cold air feed, and I swapped the intake manifold for one from a d16z6.
Definitely made a nice difference performance wise but mostly sounded much better.
If I was you I'd do what highland said and improve the suspension an brakes to get the var ready for a bigger engine, as that will be a better use of your money than tryin to squeeze more power from your d14.
Also, I stripped all my interior, as weight is a big factor in acceleration, and handling!
You could also remove air con, power steering, airbags, abs, etc if you have them. Or use lightweight parts such as wheels, seats, carbon bonnet, boot, or other panels.
Plenty of threads already on here on how to do these mods, and what mods to do.
Hope this helps a bit.

Hey bud, in all honestly just drop a b series engine in, depending on ur budget you could start with a b16a and the better ur budget is the better the engines ie b18c4, b16b and the b18cr,
i made a lot of changes in the car... its lower and every thing in the car of power parts is for the v-tech engine exept the E. it self ..
i put exhaust system 2.5 inch and its pretty good..
i put dyno boost chip also...
but i still feeling thier is somthing missing

Get rid of that mate, won't be doing your car any good at all. Im guessing it's single cam? No point in wasting money on cams / standalone ecu etc as the gains will be tiny. The americans get on well with boosting SOHC honda's that may be the best option. Other than that a b16/b18 swap is the best bang for buck.
