what should i do first?
i have a 1992 RS 2 door 5 spd integra. love it! but its stock right now. im just now getting money to spend on it. i have a honda accord that im selling for $1000, so when i sell it, i'll be able to put some money into the integra.
first, let me explain my goals for the integra (in no particular order):
- JDM B18B: wanna build an all motor monster. and use b18a tranny with lightened flywheel, and aftermarket clutch.
- Intake/Header/Exhuast: AEM CAI/DC/RS*R ExMag
- Suspension: all chassis bars, nuespeed springs, tokico white (or koni yellow) shocks, Ground Control Coilover springs.
- Exterior: JDM headlights (have them), amber turn signals, type r front lip, fat fives (also have them), JDM thin side mouldings, sedan rear door handels. keep it simple.
- More cosmetic shit: keyless entry/power door locks/remote start, MP3 player head unit, window tint
now, my question is: what should i do with my $1000 for selling the accord? originally, i was gonna buy the suspension. but now im thinkin maybe i should buy the b18b, and start building the motor. maybe i should take care of the intake/header/exhuast with that. i dont know what i should do first. tell me what u guys would do first. maybe some one can convince me one way or another. or maybe ls/turbo? just let me know what your opinions are.

That depends, is the current engine running great? Have you done timing belt? water pump? Other maintenence? If so then I would go ahead with the suspension, it helps a ton. But if the engine you have now is not very good, then what good does a grand worth of suspension hop ups do for you while the car sits in your driveway after blowing up or breaking the engine? Just a thought, enjoy the project and by the way more than 2 inches suspension drop makes the car worthless, just thought I would help you out since I learned that one the hard way

Why do you want a JDM B18B? They were only produced for about two years, and had identical specs to the US B18B1.
At that, there is no significant difference between a B18B1 and the B18A1 you already have. If you are planning an "all motor monster," you'd be rebuilding any engine you get anyway. Keep your B18A.
