I have a 98 Acura Integra. A while ago I had an LS V-Tec conversion done. These are my mods/specs:
JDM B16 Head, LS Block & Crank, Eagle Rods, Mahle 71mm 9 to 1 Compression Pistons, Inline Pro LS VTEC Conversion Kit, Skunk2 Intake Manifold, ARP head Studs, RC 440 Injectors, JDM GSR Automatic Trans ECU, K&N Short Ram Air Intake


It's time for a new upgrade. Initially I was going to convert it to a manual transmission and take it from there. But I was just wondering if maybe, instead I could just go for an exhaust & muffler system being my is stock. My end goal is to have it manual and turbo-charged. Obviously, I'm just taking it a step at a time (money) which is why I was thinking of just going the exhaust/muffler route. I'm not too savvy which is why I'm looking for advice. So what should my next move be that will be best for my car and plans?

 

manual

 

i 2nd that.

 

71mm? u mean 81 rite? and go manual first. save your exhaust system til after u turbo. so that u don't have to modify your exhaust to fit your manifold when u go trubo. no headwork? valvetrain? if not u still have a few things to do for a nice turbo setup.

 

I agree with myfirstdc2.

You'll wanna go 3inch when you go turbo more than likely and 3inch on stock will just be overkill. Go manual then turbo.
