personal intro
sup guys, im fresh to Honda-tech, been thru a couple threads here and there and everyone seems really chill here...

i currently have a 92 Integra GS coupe (a 96 Accord sedan and a 95 Accord coupe previously) and it's got 288K about to hit 289K. of course, needs a lil bit of TLC on the outside (and in) but here's my situation....


potential build

i've been tempted to get rid of the car but i've been convinced by my co-workers to keep it and build it...and heres what they suggest.

94 LS block with stock internals and turbo with stock computer from 92 GS with chip....



can i get some leads/help/suggestions as to how to go about on this situation? i have no idea how/where to start....all and any help is much appreciated



P.S. i'll post pics of the ride up a lil later on...



Here's a list of what's on the car right now:

JDM one piece with 8K HIDs and yellow fogs
JDM thin side moldings
GSR interior
Alpine head with Crunch Amp and 10" sony xplod amp
Eibach sportlines with Tokico blues
front and rear ST swap bars
AEM short ram intake
stock B18A2 non-vtec (288K miles, burns oil like a mad mother)

 

What kind of "chip" are you planning on running? I don't think these add-on chips actually make any power. Especially if you're going to turbo the car, get a real EMS setup on it and have it dyno-tuned for some real power

 

Well if ur turboing the car, be sure to go get it tuned by a shop. You can get the ecu chipped, but i wouldnt just go with that. Too risky.

 

i say u do a gsr swap and throw a b18c in that and build it then turbo it!!

 

idk what kinda chip...haven't really looked into it. my co-worker was tellin me i don't really need a standalone computer, just a chip or piggyback system.


yepp...definitely....prob gonna be daily-ing this car (future AP1 as weekend) so gonna be at a low 8PSI or so...

haha...i did contemplate and play around with the idea of a B18C1/5 but didn't wanna play around with wiring vtec (even tho i heard it was easy)...


thanks for all your responses so far, i really appreciate it and to show my appreciation, some pics of the car...and if you're wonderin, yes, i DO work at a Honda dealership



the "good" side of the car...paint's still somewhat glossy. pass side is pink...loll, the pic i took got corrupted so i can't post that...

thin side moldings anyone?



JDM one pieces (legit) with f*cked up fender...gonna get that replaced when i paint the sucker. sharp eyes will be able to pick out the fact that i've removed the corner bulbs and that's because i have an electrical prob somewhere. when i turn on my left blinker, my left bumper lens will blink (normal), left corner lens will blinnk (normal), right corner lens will blink (WTFX!?). same with the right blinker...any ideas on this?



just hit 289K today (5/5/11), original motor, original trans...

 

plans for DA have been suspended indefinitely...will update when plan resumes


on another note...anyone wanna buy the GS-R wheels? PM me
