Default 91 ls non-vtec b18a1. wut would be best to upgrade next.

Just put a skunk2 intake manifold, skunk2 throttle body, throttle body spacer, and no name headers. Also installed a test pipe and skunk2 exhaust from the test pipe back. Just needing some ideas on wut to do next. Should i change out to after market fuel rail, injectors, fuel pump, fuel regulator, fuel filter. Or do modifications to the engine internals and if so wut should i modify first?

Crower cams, Cam gears and Valve springs/retainers. After that, get a tune and you will be set. Unless you want to go all out and grab a set of high comp pistons. Don't worry about fuel delivery. The stock systems are good up to 400whp(not the injectors)

What is your goal for power??

Honestly if your goal is for more power, throw a turbo kit on the ls, a Vtec head on the Ls or swap out the motor.

Boost is the best way with an LS. A set of cams will also do you good as well. I would say go a 403 cam. I read somwhere on here, the 403 cam nets faster boost response than crowers turbo cam..

took the words out of my mouth. if you want power and still have a nice daily driver, go with a smaller turbo that will make power but also retain your honda's driveability.

.. just my $0.02

The size of the turbo has nothing to do with reliability though. I'd even want a moderately sized turbo so in normal driving I'm not hitting boost.

Although I've never really thought of a turbo Honda as a good DD choice, just my opinion though.

Ok, I'll put it to you this way, how many fast/quick/high hp/modded, etc LS cars do you see?

Not saying what your doing is wrong but anyone modding a car is wanting go to faster and get more power. Just saying your venturing down a tough road!

positive. I wouldn't have said reliability because I know that installing a turbo kit on a 91 integra is probably not going to be all THAT reliable lol. I like the term "driveability" when referring to a balanced combination of power and practicality. In other words, has sufficient power and can also be used as a [somewhat] comfortable and fuel efficient daily driver.
