Default Daily Driver Project

I currently own a 1994 Integra LS non-vtec. Not only is it non-vtec, ls, but its auto. Yea i know. . . i have been often told that i should sell my ride and get a new one. But with the job i have i need the car cuz i drive like crazy, so selling it is out of the question. So i was wondering how far can i go (performance wise.) I currently got an AEM cold air intake system and dc sport headers. I was thinking on skunk2 throttle body, intake manifold, and aem true time pulleys. Is that too much, or should i take vacation time and try and sell my car? Any suggestions and aout tranny, and non-vtec put downs are welcome

alot of people get some good numbers with both turbo ls and na ls
then you have the ls/vtec option
it all depends what you want out of your car and you can always convert to manual
in the fi forum there is like 2 hundred pages of ls turbo setups

I was thinking on going manual conversion. But an auto to manual converted car is NEVER gonna perform or act like an actual manual transmission car.
I was also thinking on going ls vtec, but decided not to due to my transmission.

how? the motors are the same! so taking a auto tranny out and putting a manual tranny in with a manual ecu or a converted ecu (not expensive)... how is that not going to perform the same as a car that was manual from the factory

I would boost it if I were you and had the money. I have the same car and no money so no boost.

Why on earth would he want to convert it to manual? If the car was rare, had sentimental value or a personal project I could understand but it's a '94 ls teg for christ sakes.

wasn't trying to suggest to convert to manual just that it was an option and that it will perform just the same as other manual integras hope i didn't sound like manual conversion was what he needs to do or anything but either way good luck with whatever you choose and welcome
