I'm relatively new and am aways looking for a new things to add to my Integra I am interested in a new intake and possibly new headers. Everything is on a budget. The car is totally stock right now. I was wounding if anyone has a suggestion on where to start with tuning? there is SOOOO much I have no Idea of what I should do first?? any and all suggesting would be greatly welcomed!!!

thanks!

 

A lot of people will tell you that an intake is the most cost effective mod. You can also chip away at exhaust mods without spending huge money (although you get what you pay for).

Keep in mind that intake and exhaust parts function as a system, so to get proper gains you need to upgrade the entire intake/exhaust system. For example changing the exhaust or header alone may give only 2-3 hp each, but doing both together gives 10 hp.

Eventually you'll also need to spend $$ on a tune to really benefit from these mods.

How cost effective it is also depends on what engine you have. Obviously VTEC engines benefit a lot more than non-VTEC.

 

expanding on what he said, when buying exhaust components, remember to get the right size pipe or whatever. if you're going n/a there's no need for a 3" exhaust, 2.5" is the most you would need.

 

Sorry I forgot to include the specs on my car. I have a 95 integra LS 1.8 non vtec, 5 speed sedan.

 

You're not going to get big gains on an LS with boltons unfortunately, but it's still fun to do and it helps you personalize your car.

 

save up bro...keep it looking clean .. and do a swap ., even lsvtech ..
it would cost ..but so will bolt ons that are really not gonna much power ,
whats good is that deep tone sound if ur not going anywhere...

swap=money/time but well worth it .....

note:jst my opinion
