Hey guys, I'm planning to buy a da9 gsr. I want to stay N/A and make 170-180hp if possible. My budget is $6,000 excluding the car. What are some engine internals to boost power? Yes I know I'm a noob

Intake, header, exhaust, ITR cams, cam gears, and a retune should do it

The chassis code for a 92-93 GSR is DB2 , not DA9. $6k is a pretty large budget.

Well I'm still in highschool and make $20 an hour on the weekends so no taxes for me to pay or anything. I'm just trying to get it to a point where I can be proud of it

Just get a dc gsr

Razz

I don't want a dc. Way too many get stolen. Plus when I bring it to meets there will be way too many of them!

X2 then add a Koni/GC setup with upgraded brakes and youll have a fun car for the track

Razz

Thinking about just swappin my engine in my lude. Damn parents don't want me sellin it cus it's in their name. Do they make Koni/GC for my car?

Rather than **** your money away on a car that isn't going to be worth anything, save that money and buy a new car in a few years...or save it for college. While going to college, i built and boosted my GSR. I spent about $20,000 on the car after everything...sold it for $8000 in May and bought an STi. If i hadn't spent all my money goofing around with the GSR, I could have paid cash for my STi rather than taking a loan. Take advantage of living at home and stockpile cash while you can

Sound advice, let's hope it does not fell on deaf ears (I think it's fare to say that many of us were that way at some point in our lives.)

Razz

My plan is to set some money aside. I'm wise with money and I actually have a separate bank account just for the car!

joseph96ls

Im in highschool also and starting a build. GOOD LUCK!!

Razz

Thanks! What car are you building?

EGicon

just have fun with it man build that beast !!!!

Lets be honest. With the Integra slowly dying, and you having a good amount saved up. Get something better. Go STi or Evo if you want massive power. I Personally would go with a older S4.

Razz

I personally aren't going for power. Power is great don't get me wrong, but I'm going for a grocery getter. I know I could get some evo or sti, but I want a honda even more

research a lot and take your time. you wanna be proud of your final product, dont half *** it.

You think that until you drive one...then you can't go backward. Its like going from a Razr to a Galaxy S3/iPhone5. At first, you may not see the upgrade as worthwhile, but once you have the better version, its impossible to go back. My GSR made nearly 400whp and ran mid 11's but my slower STi is much easier to drive, much more comfortable, looks nicer, and most importantly, takes corners 1000x better than any Honda i've ever driven (S2000 included). Its my DD grocery-getter...and it goes just as fast on snow as on pavement which is something my GSR could never do. Gotta love throwin rooster tails of snow when you haul off a stop light

Razz

I'm a conservative no need for something so fancy. I like them don't get me wrong, it's just at the end of the day I go back to wanting a Honda. I wanted a mustang for a week or so and went straight to Honda again. As for the 6k budget that's all I'm willing to spend not how much I have

personally, i believe kids (yes you high schoolers are just kids) shouldnt be driving fast cars or find ways to add power to your vehicle.
