I recently bought an Integra LS, and want to tune it, but i dont know what to do, or what to expect. This is a long term project, but money will still be a big issue. Motor swaps and boost are definitely out of the question, thanks

As for tuning Hondata ana Uberdata are some great thing to search.

LSV!
slap on a gsr head, higher compression pistons (itr's will suffice), cams/sprockets/valve springs/retainers and u'r basically set...oh and before i forget, make sure to invest a 'bit on security (ie, connecting rods/arp head studs/stronger head gasket,etc)...and search, you'll find shitloads of info on this topic...happy tuning -alek

 

buy my parts!! check sig

 

i have an ls. this is the steps im taking and have already taken are as follows.
start with
-i/h/e
-cam gears
-cam shafts
-valve spring and retainer upgrade
-intake manifold
-hondatas100

If you want to go real serious about all motor try a ls/vtec conversion or swap a gsr motor in the ls.

you do not have a need for a hondata or uberdata unless you have cams. there is no reason to do so other wise. you can do this step by step and work your way to a great car or you can save up for a while and slap in a turbo.

 

Im counting LS-V as a motor swap because of its cost =\. What can i expect to run if I get the whole deal, as in I/H/E Cams and gears, valves springs and retainers, and such?

 

be sure to search before you have any questions! if you don't you'll get flamed to hell
welcome to HT!

 

prlly around 180 hp. i dont know exactly and itll all depends on what other mods you have. good luck and keep us posted

 

I see you're in Cali, just save up some money and go w/the CARB certified Greddy kit (im hoping to do this )

 

i suggest i/h/e and aem pulleys. that should keep you happy for awhile then do cams and cam gears.

 

I was originally thinking of just waiting til i graduate (this year) and just selling this car and getting a GSR before i go to college, and i wouldnt mind driving the car stock. The car itself is fun to drive, but i want something a little better then stock for the time being.

 

you are looking at...

i/h/e
intake/header/exhaust

if you want lower it?

that will run you close to $1000
