i have a 93 integra ls what is the first thing i should do to the car, so far all i have done has been to clean it out real good but other than that its stock, i know i need a new exhaust because mines is rusted what do you think i should go for any ideas???
ls/vtec is a possibility but right now i dont have money to do it how i want to do it.
any other things i might be able to do to make it faster?
thanks in advance

 

LS vtec sucks man its a huge ripoff...if u really want the "V-TECHHHHHHH POWAAAA" get a new engine otherwise turbo your car. For the amount of an LS vtec you could put together a damn good custom kit. If ur lookin for an exhaust that all depends on whether u wanna go turbo or not. Get a 3 inch thermal exhaust if u wanna go turbo, but if u wanna stick to all motor RSR exmag is a sick exhaust and its real quiet (just about as quiet as stock).

Just remember

TURBO>LSVTEC

ok...lets get the facts ls/vtecs arent sold be a company so how can they be a rip-off? if they are built properly and not just thrown together they can last. but back to the topic if you need info on the ls/vtec conversion youll see that ppl had alot of sucess with the set-up done right. but i think one of the best mods to do on the car would be a pretty basic suspension set-up. when i first got my car i did the normal intake and exhaust and a year and a half later when i put my suspension on i realized that , that mod by far is one that i could tell the difference in the car. it not only helps with handleing it also makes the car look so much better...now on any other cars i get im doing suspension first good luck with the Da

 

i just meant by the time you put them together and get it to run properly, you might as well just get a different engine. I mean unless there are some extenuating circumstances where u run into a vtec head somehow.

 

first mod for me was lowing, probibly the same with most of everyone i bet after that i did basic bolt ons but now im moving on to boost but yeah lowering makes a big diffrence in appearence

 

ok you got me suspension
first i want to make it clear that i want it to be a Rice Killer, and that i dont have that much money for parts at the moment, i think this is an old car and dont plan to do much to it unless its like on an engine i can swap into a newer teg
so suspension what is best?
adjustable coil-overs? cut springs? coil-over? i think i need a polyurethane bushing kit to stop some squeeks, BTW i have donuts on the car what should i get? gsr blades? civic rims or what? i think i will go for 15" 16" or 17"s rims

 

start with a few suspension mods (springs or coil-overs and shocks) then save up 4 some boost

 

breathing is my choice

 

whoa there tex. by far, the very first mod you will want to do, is get a box cutter razor, and modify the rear sprayer on your hatch. oh wait, you have a da. i dont know if you have one but do it anyway.

dude, you need real suspension. ill be the first one to call your car rice if you cut your stock springs. as for types, theres a lot of different stuff on suspension. just search.

17" and up are for show...

as far as lsvtec is concerned, i would prefer to build a stronger b series in the first place. like say a gsr. let us know what you decide on though.

 

ok so what do you guys think is better, this is what i have looked into so far

http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-3699.cfm i think these Tokicos look nice im not sure about buying them off this site though got any trusted sites?

or how about the skunk2 adjustable coil-over kit
which is better BTW can anyone find me a link on those skunk2's

 

i think a good starting coil over kit is the omni streets or the tein basic...or you could opt to build your own combo... 2 comboc i know are good are kyb agx's with GC coil overs and the best being koni yellows and koni specific GC coilovers....goodluck

 

do you mean these

Do a lowering first.

Then, before going out and buying an exhaust and intake, save your money and build a turbo kit from DSM junkers and some custom pieces. Walaa, 250 HP on stock engine with a tuneup and you've spent around 3000 at the most including dyno time.

Don't be fooled. Name brand intakes are a waste of money. Exhaust is expensive, and for the gains you get from that 500 you spent getting your exhaust, you could be 1/2 way to completing your own turbo kit.


Thnk about it. You need piping, intercooler, wastegate, turbo, downpipe, blow off valve, injectors, and a fuel pump and regulator. Used everything costs around 700 if you find good deals, and a custom manifold that you have a shop make you is 150-200.

Intake (3hp)-100
Exhaust (5hp)-500

Turbo(50-100whp)-1000-1500 max!

 

nitrous

 

jdm itr sway bar (cus it's not too pricey)
then fully adjustable coilovers (by a good brand hks,tanabe,kei-office,ect.)

 

get some eibach prokit springs and pair it up with some tokico illumina shocks. nice set up.

 

B16 tranny, then suspension, or vice versa. The tranny will make more of a difference than an Intake, header, exhaust, and highflow cat combined Kinda sucks cruising on the freeway though but Oh well, swap in an LS 5th and you're good to go

 

ok unless you people have bad reviews for these then im going to order them next week

Tokico Illumina

ahahha hell yea if you got a piece of **** DA like all of us jus ****** squeeze that bitch, then return the kit at pep boys

 

Suspension and a new tranny.
Some popular choices for suspension you could look into are the Omnipower coilovers and Koni Yellows/Ground Control's. But for more info, search in the Integra archives and in the Suspension forum.

 

Turbo is best bang for your buck option, besides motor swap

 

If you want to drive hard. invest in a reliable breaking system. going fast is great, however stopping is greater.

On a street car, the only thing that might help braking response is steel braided lines. With the stock integra brakes, you can easily get ABS to kick in, so what is the point of spending 1500 on bigger (slower) brakes?

 

Hehe, my first mod was a motor. I bought a shell(dc2). I took her for her first real drive yesterday and got tags, exhaust, and alignment done. I was happy. Now to start the body work so I can send her to paint shop. I second the suspension idea. I have tokico illuminas and h&r race springs(Came already on the shell). Looks nice and handles awesome.

 

I think you should lower your car I use ground control coil overs and since you want more power go with a nitrous kit it will be the most power youll notice good luck
