does anyone know any free/cheap tricks you can do to get you integra running a little quicker and better. i know about tightening up the throttle cable, and dropping weight, but i just got this car so i dont know any integra specific tricks.
on my 91 civic si i remember pulling a few fuses to reset the ecu, can i do the same on the teg? also advice on plugs, and wires, and other cheap parts if you have it. anything else you have to say would help alot.

97 ls red -bone stock-. i pick it up on friday.

oh yeah what cleaning brand do ya think makes a good engine detailer and wax for that matter.

thanks

 

u can reset the ecu till your face is blue,is not gonna make the car any quicker...

 

i thought it made the car run a more efficent fuel air ratio, andd that you should do it after you install bolt on parts?

 

Fart when you drive. It'll give the car a lil boost...JK
Do a tune up: change fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, ect...It won't give your car noticable hp, but it should help a lil bit.

You don't have to reset it actually. The ECU will eventually "learn" the new mods. Resetting just lets it do that quicker.

Tightening the throttle cable? That's a good one.

 

Just cut off your muffler and be done with it! Just kidding ...

I agree with xaznxboixsirx, a complete and thorough tune-up will do wonders.

 

what do you suggest i use to tune it up with. im gonna get a intake or just rig one myself, but what type of plugs, oil, you know that type of sh@t. i probably will pull my muffler in favor of a striaght pipe till i get cash to blow. ghetto

 

how about advancing your timing. that's free.

your information is incorrect. if you daily drive your car and drive it alot your ecu will read knock occasionally and every time it does it will retard your timing. your timing will stay retarded. i've seen people gain up to 12 hp just by resetting their ecu.

 

seafoam it, ngk copper plugs, oem wires, oem rotor, oem cap, oem fuel filter, air filter, change oil/filter, use engine flush, bg44k fuel additive, change trani fluid, change brake pads/rotors, bleed brakes, adjust idel, adjust thorddel, adjust clutch (cable trani) or flush the hydro clutch (hydro trani). new tires, car wash. then your should be STUNNIN!

o ya check the timing

actually, a loose cable will slow you down. or the wrong throttle bracket will slow you down. i learned that from prior experience.
