I have finished adding an intake, DC Header, RSR exhaust to my 2nd Gen Integra. The car already has about 110k on it. Other parts include a aluminum flywheel, short shift kit, and MSD plug wires. What comes next?! I like how the car feels right now. Matter of fact, this morning, I kept up just fine against a New Dodge Neon R/T with dual exhaust.

I don't care for pulleys, and other minimum return items, and I absolutely want the car to be streetable. What comes next? Do I save for Headwork? Will Cams be okay? I work in sales, so the car can't be too obnoxious.

I appreciate all input. You guys rock.

Save up and go ls/vtec, i think it will be your best bet to make good power and have alot more options with a Vtec head.

 

For what you have now:

Camgears, Adjustable FPR and a day at the dyno. You should always tune what you have to see what and where you want to be.

After tuning what you have, you might want/need a nice suspension setup or even think of some nice brakes to stop when you're done going, a good set of sticky tires are also a good bet and: Da da DAAAA!

How about a day at a local Auto-X or PDA track event, hopefully with an instructor. It's always fun to test you and your cars limits and learn, really learn how to drive correctly.

Good luck,

I agree with cam gears and FPR. How about some Crower cams?

 

i would say either save up for an lsvtec conversion(pistions, rods, b16a head, port and polish, cams, cam gears, vairous fittings)

or you could purchase a set of eagle rods, je pistions or Endyn pistions, crower cams, ti retainers and dual valve springs, and a mild port job, along with a tuned ecu (7800rpm redline) tune it and end up with arpuund 170 whp from a non vtec teg.

 

I sincerely appreciate everybody taking a look, and especially those that comment. For the amount of money for the engine work, I fall into the category of just too lazy. However, as a power hungry person, Anything I could bolt on, I would.

How about advancing timing and running premium unleaded? What that be worth it?

As for running the Cam Gears, on stock cams, is it worth it?

If I put in the FPR, would it do much? I have always heard that they are a low return mod.

Would a throttle body help? Or, would it hurt driveability? Getting the intake off is pretty easy, so I could see extrude honing it, but again, I hope to see a ROI. (Return on Investment)

As a compliment, I really appreciate the input about brakes. Too often people don't pay enough attention to stopping. Those were my FIRST mods. I run Hawk Pads in front, with cross drilled rotors.

Can anyone recommend a good dyno place in Corona, or Orange County?

Hey, I promise to dyno the car and share the results.

 

Well, I just did mine today and helped a friend tune some aggressive cams. When all was through, he netted 30HP and 12 PF/TQ. I'm looking for as close to 10 HP as possible for my next time and all I'll do is tune my stock cams.

Today was a very educational experience.

yeah look into getting some aggressive cams and cam gears. drivablity is loss some what by the engine shaking and making your steering wheel shake but it depends how aggressive you want it. you can all get your ECU reprogrammed. and suspension is always fun to have.
