i have a 96 Integra ls ive had it for about 6 months and i havent decided which i should do alot of people have given me ideas but i really dont know its an automatic which sucks. I am eventually going to turbo it and is it better to put a shift kit in it or should i spend the money on switching it over ? just wanting to hear opinions and the pros and cons.

Thanks

 

do ls vtec!!!! and get a b16 tranny!!! just build it right so it wont blow on you..

 

raising the power will ruin the auto tranny; they can't handle too much power. you should convert to 5 speed before putting the turbo in.

 

Yeah, you will actually love having it 5 speed...

I didn't know your auto tranny could mess up when you boost...
Seems like the flawless plan for that 1/4 mile...

 

thanks guys so how much will a conversion actually cost me i mean i know the basics of cars but have never really done anything like that

 

is it hard to switch tegs from auto to stick ...this dude i know told me not to even try ....he says he knew 2 guys who tryed it and ended up junking their cars....whould it be better to just buy a car that is already stick or wut

 

yah i really love my car man lol i would like to find the same body style. People where i live are honda crazy and the act like its not that big of a deal to switch one over offering to help so idk waht to do thanks man

I would say less than $1500, you need tranny and everything else...

 

dude if you didnt live so far away id be down to help you swap it. its not hard. its incredibly straight forward. the part i hated was swaping the pedals and even that was cake. if you posses a little common sense and know which end of the socket goes where you should be fine.

 

lol thanks for the confidence i've been researching the swap and i gotta book on my car so ima start collecting the parts i need i will eventually do a write up on the swap so i can get help if i need it from the honda tech peeps
