I got a 93 Integra LS with a B18A1 in it. I can either go LS/Vtec with a b16A head, B16A1 (JDM) Cams, Etc. Or I can get Crower cams, Skunk2 Intake Manifold, Iceman Intake, DC 4-2-1 Header, etc. What setup should I have that would give me good power, but not cost a whole lot. BTW What else would I need if I wanted to put crower cams in my engine? How much would the cams run (roughly)?
funny how skunk2's were breaking before also, crowers have fixed their problem just like skunk did.. so dont bad mouth it if u dont know whats really up, also every LS/Vtec that i have ever seen has eventually leaked oil..... so if u have an LS boost it, if u have a GSR boost that too, if thats too expensive then throw some ITR cams in ur vtec motor and give it a healthy dose of N20 and ur done.... if u go toda and the all motor route... just realize this ur gonna be spending A LOT of money..... the cams arent cheap, the valve train isnt cheap, then u have to swap out ur pistons cause wild cams dont like anything below 11.5:1 CR, the labor alone on ur block is gonna be over a grand..... think about it this way with all motor... u need all the pieces of the puzzle before you'll realize the full potential of waht you have just purchased... buying a set of Toda Spec B's and a junk2 manifold with a DC header will probably only net you about 170 whp......
think about the big picture, plan your steps wisely... and always look for bargins

I havent had any oil leaks yet. (knock on wood) I have a braided line for the oil on the ls/vtec. However my rubber grommets on the valve cover are beginning to rot.. so there is some leakage.. Acura wants 4 bucks a piece!! What a gip!!
