alright i just got my 01 ls integra and i need some help on where i should start because im new to the import scene, i was thinking about starting off with putting and intake exhaust headers on first and then getting a t3/t4 turbo setup, ppl tell me to do a ls vtec but im very curious about it, and my friend is selling his type r head and crank and i was wondering should i buy that from him then start fixing the car up or stay with the ls, and if i was to put the turbo setup on the ls, how much power u guys think i would be able to produce safely?

 

The first thing i would do is disable power door locks and buy a car alarm. Or your teg will just get ganked


if you wanted Vtec you should have bought a GSR. a 2001 in pretty much a new LS. I wouldnt go tearing the motor apart just yet . I would just buy an air intake ... fit it for nitrous and spray a 50 shot Or if you got the money .. buy a complete turbo kit


but dont buy a header if your just gonna turn around and buy a turbo kit... then you would have to sell your header

 

In your situation, I think a turbo will be the best bet. Being that the car is still very new, the engine is probably plenty strong enough to handle moderate boost with no issues.
