I have a 94 Integra LS 4-door. Oh yea...And its an auto>.< I haven't done anything to it, performance wise, unless a glasspack would count, but I'm wanting to do something to the engine. Any suggestions? I don't have a whole lot of money, about $325.
Also, does anyone know how many h.p. my car has?

step 1: take off glasspack
step2: get a new car if you want it to be fast

hah, rather harsh guys. Before its worth doing anything directly to your engine, you need to get a free flowing exhaust and intake. The first performance mods are: Intake, catback, cat, header. You will need far more than $325 to get all of these. Once you do, then it is worth doing some engine modifications such as high compression pistons and cams and so forth...

The sad fact is, an automatic tranny will not be happy with a narrow powerband. So an N/A build seems largely pointless. And properly turbocharging an Integra requires a great deal of capital.

I'd say you're better off to leave the car alone - and preserve resale value by keeping up on maintenance. Learn to drive stick, and save your money for a manual tranny Integra, if not a more suitable performance car platform.

If you're absolutely dying to spend money on the car, then I'd look into a quality set of tires... Yokohama, Toyo, Kumho, etc.

And the thought of an old-school rodding "glasspack" muffler on an Integra makes me wince. :a: Say it ain't so.

You can do a whole lot to your car, Just expect your tranny to start slipping.
