Default Building my DA

Hey jus wondering what lil things I can or should do to gain power but this is my only car so i'll need to be able to put it back together in time for work lmao! I want to get cams but is it worth doing now if I want to turbo it with summer? Im on a tight budget being that I really want this car turbo'd in time for summer but im bored and want more power.

I actually bought the car wth everything besides the header downpipe and high flow cat and I bought those before I wanted to go turbo.. and the only other thing i'll be buying is a short ram intake since winter is coming.. what's the average cost of a basic turbo build? im looking to push at least 250 but 300 would be better plus its my daily so it would have to be reliable

Just take your time and don't rush a build. When you rush you miss little important things that you need and bam... your car is blown up. Get everything before you turbo. You can go ahead and do the cam gears. I doubt it'll make a noticeable difference though until the turbo build.

^^^^^this is the turbo guide^^^^^^^ read it, study it, do it.. tons of general turbo knowledge with G2 integra specific turbo guidelines too.

also check out http://www.g2ic.com.... tons and tons of info and cheap mods to make your car one off

and as for cams, what cams are you talking about? crower? those are mainly for adding after you have boosted or are building a serious NA build.
but you can throw in a set of b18b cams froma newer LS. i think there good for another 10hp or so(correct me if im wrong on that one)
