Ok guys i am new to this forum, and i just picked up a Red Acura Integra GSR, with only 22k on the body and motors, i bought it from an old guy from Chicago. Anyways, now that i have it i would like to do stuff to it to make it handle better, go faster, and look nicer, you know the usual. I have already done plugs and wires, and did a CAI from AEM, and have sitting at my house SKunk2 Shock, Springs, F&R Camber Kits, and Rear Lower Control Arms. What else should i put on it, recommendations for performance, tires, wheels, body, suspension, whatever, let me know, this can be as much your project as it is mine, i will keep you all updated too.

 

boost it

Dope, you got 2 motors? Front and Rear setup?

 

Yeah, sell a motor and put a turbo in its place.

Get a gt35r and boost it to 20 pounds. That will make good use of the suspension.

Search and you will find tons of threads that recommend lots of mods.

hmmm... yeah turboing it would be nice, but lets pretend we live in the real world for now, what can i do thats not gonna make me sell my organs to do. I have money, just not any i want to dump into a turbo as of yet.

 

get an itr rear sway bar.

Trying to make power on a honda without a lot of money is almost pointless..
It wont be good power unless yuou spend a couple grand.

 

Dude a turbo is gonna MORE than pay for itself and you can get it done for under 1500 if you know where to spend your money.... it's totally worth it.. i've got 12 lbs going to my neptune tuned D16z6 civic and i'm walking from EVO's and STI's

then what you need to do is save up money to get your car boosted. spending money on other pointless mods just b/c they're cheaper isn't a good idea...save up to get something substantial that you'll be happy with.

 

go turbo my friend, save your money, you will not regret it.

 

word! what he said. TURBO

Simple. Save your money. Go turbo. You simply cant compete against the new generation of Japanese sports cars and American muscle with noise makers.

 

only 22k? damn thats pretty good, nice find.

 

Ah sweet, another thread about wanting power for little to no money. Let's pretend we live in the real world and realize it costs money to make power out of a 1.8L motor that is already tuned to the bleeding edge by a manufacturer.

i wouldnt go that far. remember honda wanted these engines to have a balance of power and low emmisions and gas mileage.

 

gt35r...lots of lag, I suggest the OP to build the motor first before dropping that huge gt35. Building that motor will help push enough airflow through to the gt35 to make it spool faster. But when its going it gets going!

 

tubby power dude!

I think that guy was joking with the gt35r and 20 lbs of boost comment.

 

oh sorry didnt know, but ive heard people trying to pull off a gt35r turbo, no joke just gigantic turbo lag.

the lag on a gt35r isnt bad. full boost by 4500-5000 depending on trim and engine mods.

x2..or a GT28r, really good spool and hp, and with the long rpm range of b-series motors, you can definitely squeeze a lot from that turbo with the right setup.

true, but you would need good and strong mods, and even better tuning to get it fully boosting at a lower rpm range. Havent driven a honda w/turbo, but I do have a german boosted car. Different motors entirely different vehicle
