I'm about to purchase an Integra LS and I have an extra $800 -$1000 that I'd like to spend on engine internals. I'd like my car to be all-motor, so where do you suggest that I start??

 

start with the basics
intake, header, exhaust.

 

yeah start with a Comptech Icebox, then get a nice 4-1 header with 2.5" collector (you'll lose toeque under stock engine with this though), then get a good exhaust (Apexi N1 maybe?) and get a good high-flow Cat.

Then get the TypeR pistons and good cams like Crower 404's along with S-AFC and mad tuning

 

800-1000 will get you the crower 404's with the valve springs and retainers

 

If you want to make good N/A power without breaking the bank, vtec is really nice. If I were you, I'd start saving for a turbo for my LS.

i dont know about installiation

I H E will end up around 1000 and if u can drive u might get a 15.5-6, so save for turbo or get the IHE and eventually save for cams and stuff but remember the H E will be changed wiht the turbo

 

install is free, just need a air compressor and valvespring compressor.

 

install is free for u, but not him.....unless your doing it for him

 

If you are serious about making power save up for a turbo kit. If you get your basic intake, exhaust, header setup your motor is just breathing better and you'll think you gain power, but when you boost you will definitely feel a power gain. If you boost on stock internals you want to keep your boost level low, then build you block later on when you save up.
