a couple of decent, yet very basic and and often overlooked power enhancements are underdrive pulleys and an alloy flywheel. They make a huge difference together, not by adding power, but by unleashing a lot of power that's already there. I don't do much research on the KA motor since I'm an SR owner, but I think this is where you should start, along with intake, ignition, then maybe move on to some internal stuff, like a set of cams, maybe an entire kit for the head, whatever your budget allows. Start with the little simple things to make room for bigger future mods. It'll also help you have less problems when you get a big power add-on.

intake, exhaust, a header, some hot cams, higher compression pistons, ECU, independent throttle bodies, carbs, and a NISMO radiator cap.

Here's a quiz for the veteran members (and a tough one for the newer members <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> heehee)

Can you find what's wrong with this post? &nbsp;Look carefully...

*picks things apart*

It's not like it's significat or anything, mainly verbage

-Unleashing power that's already there ~= adding more power

-Cams aren't internal

-Some big power add-ons aren't really compatible with little addons to begin with (ie: intake is useless if you go turbo, you need a new one, as would be increasing compression, or getting a smaller diameter exhaust).

Of course, as I said, most of this doesn't even matter, he still gave some decent information.
