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.

 

Throw a B18C1 in there and call it a day.

 

i think you should do suspension first and then engine work

 

Yeah suspension work is the way to go in my opinion. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

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

 

thanks, guys. keep the suggestions coming. maybe i'll do a mix of i/h/e and suspension...

 

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.

Vote: I/H/E

 

the plan was to rebuild an engine while it was out of the car.

 

1. Suspension
2. Engine
3. Exterior

 

man has his priorities straight. that sounds like a good plan. but then again, i/h/e sounds real good.
