So I recently bought this Integra, about 2 weeks ago. And I love it! The previous owner had sold B 18 C and swapped it B B 18 B with with a GSR head. LS/vtec. It has a first gen skunk 2 I.M. and 3inch downpiping. I'm not sure if it has any work done to the block or head, so I'm going to assume theyre both stock. I've heard from a lot of people that the ls/v can be really unreliable. I want to build this car so I can eventually boost it, and would like to make about 275 - 300 whp. What should I start upgrading/replacing so that this engine is reliable and strong. I don't plan on boosting it for a few months, I'm going to make a list and start on the small important things, but I need help with deciphering which parts those ate / what do I need to do (make stronger) before I boost it?

Thanks for the help and I'm glad to be part of Honda-tech

Bump...

I just replaced my valve cover gasket, cam seal, vtec solenoid upper and lower gaskets, the upper portion of the vtec solenoid casting. I used permatex ultra black gasket silicone, ( http://www.permatex.com/products/pro...t-maker-detail )

I used the gasket silicone near the rounded portions of the gasket to ensure they're set correctly.


I flushed my oil thoroughly,and tomorrow I will do a fresh oil change and filter. I usr Castrol Edge Syntec. Full synthetic 10w30

AZTegg

Nice pick up looks soild keep it safe! Every time i buy a car I start out changing every single hard telling the last time they could have been replaced.

JuicedUpRice

Well my turbo isn't on yet,still need a fire ring and misc stuff,but I have most of it.an ex friend stole my $3000 turbonetics/drag/blitz turbo setup years ago...i never got to even use it,and it was brand new.all I really want is to get the experience I should have had...

This is what is in my da9

B18a engine
B18b pistons/rods
Race rings
Oversized valves
B18b valve springs/retainers
B18b cams
10:1 fmu



I will be using my 14b turbo for that fast *** spool(full spool at 2800rpm)
Cast iron Mani
Ssqv Blow off valve
Xspower waste gate
Mishimoto fmic

Its got a 10psi spring in it right now,but I might try maxing the turbo(18psi) if its not enough..lol

i hope you plan on actually tuning it instead of using the FMU.

JuicedUpRice

No sir I will not be tuning.everyone is so reliant on technology..psh..old days ftw.
I do however plan on upgrading my fuel system.

I helped a friend get his turbo on a stock b16 eg hatch and I did it the same as how I plan to do it.he is going on 4 years daily driving it and he beats the sh*t out of it.I don't race.I don't beat my car.it will be fine.

AZTegg

Damn, that's a pretty nice setup! Could I make a turbo setup for around $1200 or so?
I don't need name brand parts either, any help?

JuicedUpRice

To be honest dude,I probably spent less building my car AND getting this turbo kit.did it all for $1k give or take.of course,this is assuming you are doing your own labor like I did.

Be smart on eBay,and local deals etc is the best way to go when it comes to staying on the cheap and still having nice ****.
