Nitrous. Cheapest horsepower to dollar ratio of any power adder.

Anything short of FI (forced induction) will not get you close enough. And turbos cost a lot, quality ones at least. Go to ebay. see what you can find

So this wasn't a stock laser was it? I hope it wasn't, if it's "suppose" to make 300hp.


Build your motor, and run a 250 shot

Stock it came with:
195hp
203 ft-lb tq
integra came with:
170hp
128tq if gsr trim
getting that power wouldn't be that hard. If she has a blow off valve and boost controller and is boosting more then stock, then you will have to do more work. Just think about it, her car may be faster, yours will always looks better. I can't stand the tiny little itty bitty lasers.

Check out turbojesse or boostfed they both have decent turbo sets for under 3000.00 shipped and you can pretty much trust their ****.

the only reason i told her to get the car is because im a tech a dodge dealership and we have the software to diag **** on it. as far as gettin an ls1, i just sold my 96 lt1 6speed. so i went with a decent mileage 00' teggy. Stay tuned, after looking on ebay, a turbo kit and build motor will be coming soon, all by me.
