Default B18C1

Sorry about that. Below my entire question is:

1. Cable pug OEM or after market which one better? If after market which brand do you recommended?

2. Spark plug OEM or after market which one better? If after market which brand do you recommended?

3. The size of piping do you recommended... either 2'2" inch or 2'5" Which one you recommended?

4. Engine oil chosen either 5W50, 10W50 etc. Which one you recommended?

5. Sport air filter which is the better...OEM or after market? If after market which brand do you recommended?


Here... I gave to you my engine spec:

Engine B18C1 not Type R (Integra GSR).
Automatic transmission.
Everything OEM... Such as piston, cam, ecu etc.

Thank You. Have a great to you...

Just get OEM spark plugs and wires, stick to stock integra piping size and oil grade, and just get a stock OEM air filter. You have a stock motor and an auto tranny, bigger piping and a ''sport'' filter are not going to help with performance, if thats what you are looking for.

Stock automatic Hondas aren't faster than stock manual Hondas...that's just the way it is.

If the OP has the money to do an automatic b18c1 then why not, he/she might be too lazy or doesn't want to learn how to drive stick. And to the OP if you do an auto gsr, go boost if you want more performance, if you don't want to boost, then refrain from going auto, get a gsr, b16 or itr tranny, modify the car to spec by doing research and reading. And call it a day.

Stick with OEM (or equivalent) plugs and wires.

For a stock engine, the piping size isn't terribly critical, assuming it's a well-made system. The exhaust itself won't make a huge difference in power, so I'd focus first on a good header.

5W-30 is the recommended viscosity for your engine.

If you're just looking to replace the filter, Green and K&N are good choices. If you want to replace the entire intake, the Comptech Icebox has been found to yield good results and is quite a bit less expensive than the Mugen unit (which is generally regarded as one of the best available).
