I just bough an Acura Integra LS in Jan and am just now starting to work on it. I was told that my engine is stock, not including the Zex, what kind of headers, exhuast intake, should I get to give my car more power. I'm slowly learning about my car and want to know more. plz help

 

im gonna do this before someone else will in a more not so nice manner

welcome to HAN btw

 

thx. I was toldDC headers aren't that good thinkin of gettin them anyways, I was thinking about a turbo kit but dont know what kind to get.

 

wait before u put a turbo on it how old is it u can just put a aftermarket turbo on a stock motor, hondas rods arent that strong and if u act like a idiot u will blow the bottom end out and if u do send me a video so i can laught but do the small stuff first
and for the headers a 4-2-1 is go for low mid range power and a 4-1 is for mid to upper
dc is a real good header company

 

1991 Acura integra LS special edition, 99k miles B18a, planning on rebuilding my engine this summer 4 shits and giggles plus upgrade the engine components

 

Don't listen to him.


If you wanna get some more speed torque out of your motor then the cheapest way would be just get a turbo kit. $3000 ish and your done run 5-7psi and there you go. The motor can handel that with no problems. Now your gonna go spend $300+ on headers,$200+ on intake,Blah blah blah and not even improve your HP by 25-30. Get a turbo it's more money but the cheapest way to go if you really want power asap. And if your gonna build your motor anyways get some JE low comp pistins,eagle rods, some nice valves and your motor will be ready for 20ish psi. REAL POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

its header damnit!

 

N/A >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TURBO

Build your internals...cams, valve train, cam gears, all after u get the intake and header and the rest of the exhaust system...

20 psi??? lol...

 

That is your opinion. I would like to see him putting down the amount of power a turbo can by going the N/A route for the same amount of money. I think the bolt-ons are a great way to start and will add some seat of the pants power if that is all he is looking for. But if you want an substantial and cheaper way of adding good power, forced induction of any kind is what you want.

 

your joking right? on an LS engine? your saying go all motor on an LS engine.... sure its possible but i wouldnt expect BIG numbers from it. With as much money you spend on a N/A Built LS engine you could drive a reliable Turbo/LS and make more power.


ive seen stock engines take 20 PSI...not daily driven....but it took it for a couple of runs. so i dont get whats so funny about it....

AILS91, I myself would either go with a turbo setup or an LS/vtec setup if you wanna go all motor. The turbo however will always make more power than a N/A setup
