hey im new in honda tech, im from new zeland and i own a 96 integra type SIR-G, there is alot of honda haters around here but i love them

im finding that my car has a very slugish start and it only gets fast when vtec kicks in, this is my engine info :

B18C SiR-G
..
Displacement (cc): 1797
Power (bhp@rpm): 178@7600
Torque (ft/lbs@rpm): 129@6200

In the following car(s): Honda Integra SiR-G (JDM)




what can i do to make it faster apart from getting a vtec controler
only mods i done so far its been lowered and sound system but i want speed

 

people tell me that a bigger exaust would give me more horse power and a filter but i dont know, i need the advice of u honda pros

 

<U>Search</U>

 

i done it allready all i needed was some advice of the pros, sorry :/

 

Depends on what route you want to go. Supercharge, Turbo, NA, if you want to use NAWWWSSS.lol

First thing to do is make sure all of the maintence is done. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, compression test, leakedown test, coolant change, MTF change, oil change.

If you want to go N/A The first place to start is with an intake, followed by a header, cat, catback. Do some reading on what size you will need.

 

i want to spend a bit to start up,
i was thinking in doing this first 2 additions

Greddy Airinx air filter
2.25" Exhaust System

while i get some more $

 

Air filter won't do much don't waste your money.. Get the exhaust though.. if you want a huge increase in speed, Don't bother with a 2.25" exhaust. Save up, and SC/Turbo the car..

 

so many things u can do if your not going to turbo it u might as well start with i/h/e

 

how much in prices would those additions can cost me?, really i apreciate all your help, u guyz are great

 

hey, nice car!! super clean

look on the classifieds for used items like a used AEM cold air intake you can find one for about $100

A header ? $300 comptech?

exhaust? greddy $350 ???

test pipe $50

don't expect huge gains from this set up

 

Maybe its also time for a major tune up? new timming belt, water pump, spark plugs, oil change, air filter, tranny fluid, etc. it really helped my car.

 

Search, there is so many different combinations that work for the all-motor route. Intake, exhaust, and header would be the start. Just make sure your car has the proper tune-up before you go any further.

 

thx for the help guyz, i think im gona go with i/h/e and a vtec controler while i get some more $, ta

 

remember not to forget the most neglected part of an exhaust system... the cat

and a vafc isnt going to do much as of now

 

howdy, im in the process of saving to start working on my car too. but dont spend too mcuh for somthing like an intake, they all do the samething, its just names. And im personally going with 2.25 exhaust, i have friends who have been working with and on cars for a long time. an i have also read this before, but anything bigger then 2.25 on an NA set either really wont make a difference, and of course the exhaust wont do much untill mid to high range power, so like everyone says, dont expect too much from the basic boltons, happy shoping

 

WELCOME! If you want big horsepower for your money, owning an import/honda is the wrong car!!! If your just an import enthusiast, and you want to go faster than stock, then I'd start off on the basics..... get a good cold air intake sytem (comptech ice box), then get a high flowing header (comptech/toda/mugen/etc.), then get a test pipe or a high flow cat, and an aftermarket exhaust with bigger piping. Basically in this scene, you get what you pay for! If you cheap out, you'll be paying to replace things constantly. Once you have those basic mods, you can decide from there if you want to go turbo or stay all motor. Whatever which route you choose, there's an endless list of things you can do!

 

i agree with ih8ricerz, headers, intake, and exhaust to start out with. maybe then u can work on internals.....cams, pistons, valves, retainers, fuel rail, its endless....maybe start by reducing the weight of ur car with that sound system!

 

thx alot, atm its running a bit better, its keeping up with the big boys : )

Where can you get a comptech header for $300? Last time I looked around they were around $400 and up.

 

Boost or swap. If you dont have the cash for those two, just start with the intake/exhaust systems as mentioned.
