I am soon aquiring a 99' Si w/ 26,000 miles on the original b16a2 engine, the only mod to it is a AEM cold air intake. Here are my plans tell me if there is anything that should be changed and hopefully this will spark a conflict Alright well first off i was thinking of tein SS because i wanted to be able to adjust the ride stiffness. Carbon fiber hood, Not decided on the rims (need help to decide) just probably gonna power-coat the Si rims at first, or get HX rims and grind the calipers down! The big question i have is about forced induction and wheter turbo or supercharger is better for this car?! (right now i was thinking t4)... of course i'll get the blackhousing hid lights too ... let me know what ya'll think

 

powder-coat*

 

Turbo has more potential...Personally I'm not a fan of HX rims on EK coupes, I think they look too small. I say you just get another set of lightweight, cheap wheels like Rotas, or whatever you're taste is. You can probably sell the SI wheels for 400-450.

 

Well, we cant really give you good information like this, it would take days. Besides, buy what you want , not what people on here like. Just go do a little research, you will be much better off.

clubsi got boost forum has a lot of sc vs. turbo... good reading..

dont powder your si wheels, they are nice the way they are.

good luck

 

keep the stock SI rims and go with the turbo.

 

i have a 99 SI as well, if i could do it all over again i would go turbo, as for the wheels stick with the si wheels (don't powder coat) or buy some rotas best bite for the buck..i have the spoon knock offs, look good.

 

Keep the si wheels stock. You can always sell them later for something else. As for boost, research, research, research... Find out all you can before you start spending money. Best of luck to you. The "forced induction forum" here, "got boost" over at CSI, and the "forced induction integra" board for Jrsc's on hostboard are all great.
