Just wondering about the experties opinion. what do you guys think are Integra's 7 best upgrades, from best to least best???

forumnoobie

1. Turbo
2. Supercharger
3. Nitrous
4. Cams (internals)
5. Suspension
6. Exhaust (headers, cat, muffler)
7. Intake

Just an opinion. Maybe way off. I guess it really depends on what your overall goal would be (speed, 1/4 mile, looks etc).

That is a really open question. Do you mean the best upgrades for FI or NA?

LILSOWEK

n/a

I don't know about greatest to least. But I would have to say
Intake (weather it is SRI, CAI, ITB's)
header (you get what you pay for)
exaust
cams
pistons
transmission
TUNNING!!!

Factoring both effect and cost:

1) Tires (They are the only part of the car designed to touch the road.)
2) LSD (It doesn't matter how much power you are making if you cannot get traction. The main effect of an LSD is improved cornering ability.)
3) Suspension (springs, shocks, bushings, sway bars, tower bars)
4) Transmission (Shorter, closer ratios always help. A lighter flywheel is a good upgrade as well.)
5) Brakes (see the 282mm ITR front conversion thread. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=734560 Use the 92-96 prelude VTEC rotors only because they have the correct center bore and can be redrilled without overlapping holes.)
6) Nitrous (Cheap power. Doesn't affect the normal operation of the car.)
7) Engine work or turbo.

Engine work comes last because the chassis should be balanced and optimized before worrying about greater power.

If he already has a b18c1 then I would assume that he has a gsr tranny. If you are going to upgrade trannys I would reccomend ITR (for LSD) or SI (B16 shorter gears)

Yes. Follow the link in my post above. The Accord V6 and ITR front calipers are the same.

LILSOWEK

i did follow the link but it doesnt let you post anymore, i was wondering if you really need Stoptech Brake Lines, and i was wondering where you got the calipers for $40??

Why can't you post there? The thread is not locked?

The calipers came from a salvage yard online. http://www.car-part.com

The brake lines are not necessary.

Please use the 92-96 Prelude VTEC calipers if you choose this option. The 5x114.3mm ITR rotors have a 70mm centerbore instead of a 64mm bore. You will also ovelap at least one luge hole by redrilling a 5x114.3mm pattern to a 4x100mm pattern.

LILSOWEK

basically use vtec prelude calipers with brembo rotors for preludes.

Calipers from a Prelude VTEC, the ITR, and some Accord V6s will work. The rotors need to be from a 92-96 Prelude VTEC with the 4x114.3mm lug pattern.

is the gsr tranny hydro or lsd?

A non centrifugal supercharger is dumb on a high revving honda.

A plan i like to go by is

1. Brakes/wheels/tires
2.Suspension
3. Intake/header exhaust.

my list:
1) security
2) security!
3) security!!
4) security!!!
5) security!!!!
6) security!!!!!
7) security!!!!!!

Get my drift?

It's*BOLO!!
