Default trying to make car faster

I want to know what would be the best way to get al little more speed out of my LS without spending a lot of money because at the monent im po' (cant afford the whole word) I plant to an LS/vtec do the block and boost it up later when I get money.

i would say go with suspension 1st but since your on a tight budget try a SRI or a CAI or a icebox...i guess that's the cheapest way of getting a couple horses and a little speed

take your stock intake off and put one of your socks as a filter and tie it up really weel with a zip ties so it won't get suck in that won't cost you anything and will give up more hp if you don't have a zip ties get your shoes strip ties to tie the sock up. lol

or a free way to make your car faster take as much weight you want off your car and will be faster you will feel it .

You can add the basic bolt ons, but you wont be much faster than when you started. I say save your pennies and boost.

If you want a lil more power now, I'd say go w/ the basic I/H/E
But if you could wait to save more cash, go with boost. ^^^

you really don't have too much of a free up in power when you do I/H/E. its a nice sound but as far as beating cars on the street, Forced induction is the way to go and best bang for your buck. It's not really my opinion, but street proven. If you want to go fast all motor it's going to cost you a lot more then forced induction, but if you can save $2000 then you can boost.

UMMM...OK ignore him. Yes you can shoot nitrous with stock internals just don't go over ~75 shot because then you'll need some fuel managment. I'm not saying 75 is the exact limit, but it is a rough goal. Read up more and you will see he is wrong.

Supercharging is OK too, but a turbo has more potential if you want to upgarde things later you can always turn up boost pressure.

Personally I am about 3 weeks shy of boostin and all I had before that was cheap intake just for sound. I saved up for a while and now I'm ready to start some serious power. GL with whatever you will do.

Yes, ignore this complete dumbass. He obviously does not know anything about cars.

You can safely run a small shot of nitrous on your Integra. I ran one for years, without problems. The problems come with too much use or too big a shot. A good rule of thumb is to stay at less than 50% of your engine's HP (ie, if you have 140HP, spray under 70, and so on).

As long as you use it safely and sparingly, you should have a ton of fun with it!
