I just bought a stock 1997 integra type r. What should I do with the engine and what parts do I need to complete my project car? I'm only 17 so im really new to the import scene. And I was wonder if you guys could have some input. Thanks

 

Nice buy!

This is quite a frequent topic so i copy/paste from FAQ https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=766629

Unfortunately, light and indirect questions will get you nowhere. You gotta be more specific.. but topics below may help some..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First Modifications. What to do first/next to my ITR. There is no best answer on what you should do (Many of these topics include replies to search and welcome to honda tech, pointing to research and leading nowhere or just personal preference). If you stay away from general questions on this topic and ask something more specific, you'll get better replies.

I still am!



w00t w@@t!

 

I have been driving my ITR since 1997 when most of people on this board don't know what an ITR look like or feel like. To answere your question, learn how to appreciate what it can reward you as you KNOW how to push it to it's limit. once at the limit and you feel like that is not enough then by all mean mod it TO YOUR LIKING. For me, shreding 200 pounds off the car feel like you just add on 15 more horse. Good luck.

you should burn it to the ground

Just enjoy it stock for a while, blow up the motor, rebuild it, get bored with it, then turbo it, get tired of the turbo, go back all motor, then just keep it around as a daily driver.


So far I am just about to do the turbo phase of the above sequence...

 

thanks alot... alot of good comments. which is better all motor or turbo/supercharger? if i wanna go turbo/supercharger or all motor what is the best way and like what parts are the best out there that i can buy.

 

Leave it stock and enjoy the car, IMO.

This board has been around a while. Any question you can think of has been discussed at least 57 times.

 

thanks

 

When I eventually get mine *looks around*... I'm definitely gonna keep it stock and learn how to drive, first .

 

Do like the others have advised, keep it stock a while and get your worth. Then when you feel it necessary for a mod(presuming you get a good alarm first, preferably 2 way, and other forms of security) then I'd recommend a CAI. Good luck with what you do, and have fun

You can have plenty of fun with it stock. Buy some tires and an alarm. I would pay it off if you havn't already.

 

save some money for a beater

 

good buy...wait, 17 and a '97...spoiled ::shaking head::

good luck with your project though

 

learn how to drive it

 

don't mod it yet, best thing is to learn to drive it and spend some money on road courses/driving instruction....so much fun and you become a better driver at the same time

 

thanks

 

If you're going to mod it then make sure you have a beater to get you around because stock the car is amazing and reliable. Once you turbo it say goodbye to reliability and hello to towtrucks or flatbeds actually for an R.
