hey, i was just pondering about my si setup and where id like to go with this, ive thout allot about n20 running a 65 shot and getting ignition and intake,headers, and whatnot, do you think it would evan be worth it running the 65 shot, or should i just do suspention insted or well what would u do with a 00' si and 1600 to blow on mods..

word is born..

 

NOS will definately help you in the sprints, but if you have 1600 to spend I say go with a good suspension package and intake/header and maybe exhaust, and that should about cover the $1,600.

 

depends on what you are into...

quarter mile - work on motor and losing some weight
autocross - get with the suspension
stunna - altezza and light up nozzles, LOL!!

you actually have quite a bit of things you can do with $1600... personally i would go with suspension first... but that's only me

 

spend your money on the suspension first.

 

with a 65 shot, could i run with a 00' civic ex with a 99gsr swap... its this whole rivalry thing between me and a good friend of mine, i want to walk all over him..

 

if i spent it all on suspention, what should i get, tein's...

 

get a set of teins, bars all around, gut the sucker and you got yourself a track monster!!

 

say no to NOS

 

why tho... how elts could i make the b16a2 getup and go... besides spending an arm and leg for a turbo or sc...

Save up about another grand, sell your motor for 2geez and buy a C5 motor.

 

Spend an arm or a leg for a Turbo or S/C. Do it right the first time.

 

YEAH! DON'T ANSWER HIS QUESTION BUT CORRECT HIS SPELLING!! Since that's cool!!

Anyways, for $1600 I would get:

AEM CAI: $200
JDM 4-1: $400
2.5 inch Cat: $200
ITR Springs: $100
Shocks: $400
New tires: $300

 

Funny how I'm running a 2.5 inch cat right now and it's bolted TO MY STOCK EXHAUST!!

 

It's only temporary until I get a custom 2.5 inch exhaust made.

 

a 2.5" cat will do absolutly NOTHING untill you actually need that size exhaust....and he does NOT need that yet

why not get some suspention, a header, and some cams or something.
Make it an N/A track *****!!!

 

Well you can do lots of things.

Suspension. Engine work you name it.
Just depends on what you want to do. I am not to a fan of NOS.

 

It will do something. It will let him run a header with a JDM size collector. And if he wants a larger exhaust later, even better.

What track ***** can he make with $1600?
Header: $400
Cams(CTR/ITR): $400 (if he can do the install himself, and no tuning)
$800 for the suspension isn't going to make his car into much of a trackwhore.

 

say yes to this!

 

major weight reduction on a SI man thats the best go mod cuase its free

 

kinda sux i only got five posts yesterday, i couldent followup on anything.. but anyhow. so u say nos is not the way to go... *staring at the unopened nos box... sigh.. i hate regrets, it seemed cool at the time. but now.. u think i could get 400 for this??.. damnit.. and do u think gutting the si would be a good idea, its a nice *** car and all and if its not gonna do mutch then.. i think its best to leave it be..
b16a2 with 65 shot would be pretty sick tho...

 

like the othr guy said sell your motor and with the 1600 you got now you can get a gsr motor ir save up a little more and get a type r

 

I have a turbo right now but I think im going NA.
The sound of VTEC in a B18C1 or bet yet a C5 is the ****.
I think you should get suspension and try to get I/H/E

 

I must say that is one of the stupidest things you could do.

Putting a B18C5 in car with a phucking D15 isn't such a bad idea, but honestly, why replace a perfectly good DOHC VTEC B-series with one from a Type-R?

You could easily boost the B16 and walk all over stock C5's.

Keep the nitrous man, it's your car, you don't have to listen to this crap...

 

If u have a nitrous system sitting in your room, might as well use it. I'd only jet it to a 50 shot though. I used to run a 50 shot setup on my Si. This was in conjunction with I/E and gutted trunk. With this setup I beat ITR's(basic mods) and TL Type S'. I have since sold my nitrous sytem to my cousin and am just running a basic I/H/E combo for now. I'm getting my custom Exedy PP/6 puck sprung hub clutch on Tuesday and I might just run another nitrous setup on my Si.
