Supe up an 89 Integra?
I'm looking at doing some peformance enhancements to my 89 Integra. Does anyone have any GOOD ideas how I can get her to push some more power out of her old bones?

I've got an '87 Teg I just picked up for my little bro. Are you looking for some quick pick me ups or just a quicker car? As far as quick and easy it never hurts to go with Intake, Exhaust and Headers...Although depending on mileage you may want to do an engine swap! From there your options are decided by your wallet.....anything from another D16 up to the 170hp B18C should fit (most with the aid of a kit).....happy tuning....

hit up home depot and make yourself an intake. I had a 89 and there was zero aftermarket out of the box parts for it. (even the k&n drop on that was listed for the car didnt fit- it fit but the holes didnt line up). other than that, a full tune up, exhaust if you got the $$. if you really want to go all out swap in a b series motor.
even a strait b20b froma CRV or b18 from a 90+teg will make that car fly. I miss my old teg, its really light so you dont need as much hp to make it quick

Also Weapon R makes and intake for the 89 and DC makes a header. Exhaust will have to be custom, but anything for 1.6l zc will fit your motor, there is cams, t-bodies, intake manifolds, turbo...you just have to look. So start w/the zc motor and go from there. www.speed-garage.com
I wish i had that kind of info back when I had my old teg. actally I remeber back in the day going to many autop[arts stores trying to find a intake for it, and even wepon R didnt have one.
as for spending 5 bills on a used ZC, for like 800 you can get a nice b18a1 with tranny. 140 hp and 140 tq is a nice baseline to start off with
