i recently just bought a 91 si hatch and have 2500$ to work with i was thinking of doing a mid range turbo set up running on only 6psi to give me close to 200 hp but i was thinking of just doing the exterior and suspension and then save for a better set up what do you guys think? also will def need a motor so i would have about 2000 or a little less to work with

i dont see 6psi giving ya 275 hp. but i could be wrong

 

your right typo i meant around the 200 area my bad so what do you think

 

well the outside looks good cant really tell from the small pics, i wouldnt touch it but i like the stock look.

get your self some decent coilovers
figure out what motor ya want, i would just mini me the hatch but thats me lol
then build your self a decnt little turbo set up

 

buy a rope and tie it around your neck..then tie it to the tow hook...then have your friend drive your car.....thats 200whp all day

i loled

 

arent you just a comedian god i lold to when i saw this your so funny wow!!!

 

is that a huge dent in the right quarter panel? or a reflection

 

no major dents at all only dings are on drivers door but thats about it

 

mini me it and do a little turbo setup.still don't think it'd hit 200hp.local guy here has a y8 turbo'd at 15 psi i think he made 215hp?

 

what about a obd0 ls swap u can buy ls for pretty cheap and maybe turbo it or swap out to gsr or b16 later on the road

 

Most importantly, take your time and do everything properly. I think almost everyone on this site has had moments where they have bought cheap parts "until we can get something better" but it's never worth it in the end.

The only thing you may want to fix in the looks department is your front bumper since it looks like a CRX bumper and the fit looks a little off. Otherwise your car is real clean and I'm pretty jealous.

No matter what you want to do with your car, drag/autox/daily you want to address the suspension since there are so many wear items. Your best bet is Koni yellow shocks and ground control sleeves and a full Energy Suspension busing set.

Brakes, oem spec rotors/drums and good pads/shoes with SS lines will be all you need, don't go overkill on your brakes.

Last, for the engine you could go turbo D but I personally prefer the B series. Try finding a wrecked DA inetgra and you can get all the drivetrain parts you need and can recoup some of the cost by selling other Integra parts you don't need/can't use. The B18A isn't the best motor but it's a solid, cheap option with good tuning possibility and will let you better choose your priorites. (better handling/more power/etc.)

Hope this helps,

best info EVER! it is so true. dont go cheap on anything. just do it right otherwise it will cost you more in the long run..... believe me i know from experience its not fun

 

the crx bumper was on there when i bought it and i dont like it either but when this car is all done im wanting a 400 hp sohc im buying a d16z6 nothing else and yes i will be taking my time bc my brother is helping me out (he has a 400 hp d16 that runs 11s ao he knows what he is doing)

also im thinking on just doing the exterior work and suspension now and spend more money down the road for a better, reliable, and safer set up
