Just sold my 89 JDM B16a swapped CRX yesterday. ASctually traded for a 94 5 speed Integra LS sport coupe. 4 wheel disc brakes, B18b. Only mods it has are DC sports upper front strut tower bar. Tokiko Blues with Ground control coil overs on 15 gunmetal rims. It is weird going from a B16a to a non vtec b18b, but it actually has some decent power to it. What would be the best thing to do first?

 

ITR suspension and swaybar - nothing else is worth wasting your money on. Trust me, from one teg owner to another - build up your suspension and forget the I/H/E crap - they barely make a difference. If you want go fast parts, save UP for turbo.

w3rd. agreed

checkup on general maintenance also

 

I have a 96 ls recently turbo'd (less than a week...) It is the best thing that you can do

 

i got about half the cash i need for a turbo set up. I should probably have enough for it in a month or so. How many lbs, of boost can you run on stock internals on a LS , i do have like 140,000 miles though. It runs mint no leaks or nothing. Should i just slap it on and drive car till it blows up or rebuild at time of turbo, thicker head gasket, turbo pistons ect.?

 

well it kinda depends on what your goals r bro. specify which route u plan to take: autocross//drag,strip//etc. if u like high speed cornering, then yea hook up the susp. but for me, i like to hear the beefy sound of my engine so i would prefer to go with the basic bolt-ons: i/h/e. then from there you can go NA//FI. there are so many possibilities...just start with some goals u have for the car...HTHs man GL with your new ride!!

 

What is the goal for your motor? Are you trying to do it N/A or FI?

 

do a compression check, a leak down test. If all is good Turbo since you already obd1 and LS, (LS don't make mad power with cams and other bolt ons since no vtec). Turbo the LS

 

i agree to start with suspension

What a great idea considering it's ******* stupid NOT to have bolt on's if you have a turbo kit. No Exhaust? Sure let's just plug that **** up so we cant get power out of it great idea.

Theres always cams and all motor? Nobody considers this?

 

all motor ls? rite...

It's actually stupid to have bolt ons. Why would you buy a header and intake when they are just gonna be taken off for the turbo parts? Huh, what an idea.

And an all motor ls? Well it can be done, but as most people that have done it, found out. It's really not worth the money. And cams, well they won't work alone. You have to get other stuff for them. So, just cams. Well that was a stupid thing to say too.
