I have a 92 integra automatic with a b18a1. I wanted to know what mods I could possibly do and what I shouldn't do. I'll appreciate all comments, thank you!

 

What's your goals? Budget?

 

It's really just a DD but I want a good amount of power so I can still have fun without ruining the auto trans.
Currently have 1000 but have a decent income so I'll consider everything I can do. Thanks again!!!!

 

add a b20z and you're good to go. I was chirping 1st gear in my sisters auto dc2 with a high compression b20b. Fun times.

 

I don't want to do a whole swap, just add some extra power

 

Getting new fuel filter, air filter, oil, spark, wires etc. And cleaning your engine are probably the cheapest to get some hp/mpg.

 

I'm considering getting this, any thoughts?????????????

Blox Racing Power Intake Manifold Acura Integra 90-01 LS/GS B18A/B B20 Non-VTEC

 

I've done all this, except the cleaning.. Any performance parts you would suggest besides a cold air intake?

 

Honestly, and I know you don't want to hear this, nothing will help with that auto trans. The best upgrade would be to swap to manual. Otherwise I wouldn't do any mods, all they'll be is noise makers.

 

How much would its be to do the auto to manual swap?

 

The cost varies to do a 5spd conversion, either you do it yourself of pay someone to do it. You collect all the parts or someone else does it with the install. YMMV

 

The swap is simple to do. Everything bolts right up.

Figure $500-$1200 for the trans, depending on what kind of trans you get (LS trans $500, B16 LSD trans $1000+)

A used peddle set and new master/slave setup will run a couple hundred, and a clutch and flywheel are like $150 new from Exedy.

Then you may need a manual ECU, probably $100.

But everything is plug and play, shouldn't take more than a long afternoon to swap it.

 

You make its sound like I can get it all done in a few hours lol could you possibly give me a list of exactly what I'd need?

blox is junk and they dont stand by their products.
sent them a bad tps and never heard a word.
F U BLOX!!! 8(

 

I did.

You quoted the list.

 

you can get more power chipping your ecu with these mods:
new spark plugs
nkg wires
cleaning injectors
recalibrating tps
cleaning the throttle body
a decent cold air intake with decent filter
exhaust manifold
2" exhaust piping

but that's a lot of money!!

the first thing i'd do is to swap the transmission, there's no need to buy expensive parts with an auto transmission

 

if you do an auto - 5spd manual swap you'll be looking at around $2k after it's all said and done. (including labor)

The nice thing is that your car is in working condition, so if you really want to go that route you can just piece everything together over time.

If you get a decent clutch, flywheel etc then you should be able to get some more power to the wheels than what you did normally with an automatic, so in a sense that itself is a power boost.

Source: I just had a auto-5spd swap done to my b18b1 LS integra, I chirp in 1st all the time because of RAW JDM POWER YO (but seriously you'll get the most to your wheels this way)

 

Thanks for the info lol. I've decided to just keep it auto to use for daily. I'll probably just get new headers and a tsudo exhaust and leave it. I'm planning on getting a 5 speed civic. Just waiting for the rite one to come up on Craigslist. 😏

 

Most cost efficient is to buy another car that is more suitable to modifications.

Just don't throw too much money on it.

If you can lighten it, that's usually free. Get rid of un-needed things. Header and intake might give you a little power, but a little. Also you could increase timing a couple degrees, make sure it's not knocking though. Once again that's free.

I had an auto integra before. Decent reliable car, that's about it.

 

Yea I plan on getting a civic to do big mods on. This integra is will be my dd. I'm not looking to race it just want a clean look and sound. I've decided to just stay with stock headers till replacement is necessary and go with a tsudo exhaust which is like 200-300. After that I'll just do some cosmetic work. And yea it's pretty reliable (unless it's a really hot day 90 degrees and up). But it is really run! For sure lol thanks for the info.
