i have a 94 ls motor. i had 2 12's in the trunk cause at first i was not really goin for speed, now i am. Took those out and it made the car 10 times lighter. i have a aem cold air intake plus an exhaust on the car. I need a couple of suggestions on what i should do to make the car faster. Remember this car is an everyday driver and i was planning on goin boost! N E Suggestions???????

 

boost would be a good option

a nice header, and intake manifold would work well with tuning

 

Upgrade your headers, ITR preferrably. Intake manifold and upgrade your ignition.

 

Why would thegod waste money on a new header if he plans on going turbo? Waste on $ IMO. I would start buy odds and end pieces for ur turbo. High flow fuel pump, high flow catalytic converter, Intake manifold as previosly stated.

 

What are the parts I should go for first to prep my car for boost? I heard from a couple people that an integra can hold @ least 11 pounds boost on a stock motor, but I don't know if that's true or not. I'm looking to get anywhere from around 9 to 13 pounds the most.

Dont go by "pounds of boost" go by a desired horsepower goal, if your looking to make 450whp, what you have to do to your car is a lot different than if you only want to make 250. There are people here making alot of hp on stock internals but for how long, and if its the safest thing to do thats up to you, tuning is the most important thing when it comes to boost. The best advice i can give you is to do some serious research before you just up and boost. it sounds like you dont know to much about it no offense...and if you are set on boosting dont waist another penny on your car unless its benificial to boost.

 

Thanx for the advice. I really don't know that much about boosting! Basically I'm tryin to get my car to the point where I have a street buzz. I'm lookin @ about 320 horse power!

well i hope you got money or plan to reach your goal in a later time

Wow memp, haven't you ever watched f&f?

lol, I'm guessing, buzz == rep ?

 

320 is definately obtainable on stock internals. Thats exactly my HP goal on 12psi. I'm putting 01 ITR cams in, just because I have them though.

If you want my setup ( that goes on tommorow !! ) then you're more than welcome to PM me and i will give you the rundown; It costs me around 3 grand. Whatever you do research and ask questions. And DO NOT cheap out on parts. It took me a couple months to get all my parts together but Its definately worth the wait.

 

Saying a B18 can hold "at least" 11psi doesnt make any sense. It can hold "at least" 1psi, you must mean it can easily hold 11psi, which is also shady because 11 psi in a T3 setup is a hell of a lot less than 11psi with a 25G ^^

Well that's all I'm really looking for. If u read my first post it says that the car is an everyday driver and I'm not really tryin to go outrageous with it! Street buzz= street reputation, sorry for the misunderstanding. I pm'ed u for u setup. Does chipping my p75 make a big difference or is it not a good thing to do?

 

if your car is obd1 then you can chip your ecu to be tuned with any rom burner/editor....but if its not...leave your ecu alone

 

ahh you have an LS, hm you will probably be looking at around 275ish. GL

 

i have a guy that is offering to chip my computer, but will it make a difference in performance or no?

 

i think youre seriously misunderstanding what chipping means...explain what you believe it is...so we can go from there

 

From what I hear, chipping enhances ur ecu's performance which causes ur car to put out more horsepower. In chippin u can set ur redline, tell ur care to use more fuel, which causes it to go faster. Is that what it is? Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Basically, yes. It allows you to modify fuel maps, add a rev limiter, change VTEC crossover, and a list of other things. The reason you put out more horsepower is mostly due to increasing fuel at certain points to accomodate the mods. You actually wont get any significant gains with mods unless it is tuned well. Think of it as creating a harmonious balance of all things on your car

 

vtec head, motor swap like a type-r or a k20, boost, ls's suck.

some what wrong. If you have modifications that require more a/f and timing maps to be adjusted/advanced/retarded, then yes...chipping your ecu will enhance the motors performance and cause it to run better. If you just have intake, header, exhaust, then there would be NO benefit what so ever to get your ecu chipped. Once you start going with bigger cams, turbo, head work, higher compression, etc...then start looking into these "chipped ecu's"

ive seen tuned bolt on applications pick up hp from a tune....so thats not entirely true to say you wont see any gains

 

I was @ the shop yesterday and one of the mechanics looked @ my car he checked my ecu. He said that if he were me, he would change the ecu cause my car would run a million times better. He told me car has a lot of potential but I just need 2 do some minor adjustments. If I was to change the ecu which would be a good one 2 change it to?

 

save your money and don't change ecu first. Wait til you have gotten all your turbo parts gathered. If you buy it now, later you will have to get it tuned for boost anyways so its better not to spend your money on it yet until you are fully ready to go force induction. You'll just spend more money in the long run to buy a "chipped ecu" made so that your car with bolt ons can run good. And then get it it tune for different setting. ---&gt;it is better to buy your turbo parts first and worry about ecu later becuase your stock ecu will make your car run fine and have no problem.
