i know this might be a dumb question but i wanna make sure its not only my Ls. i know Ls isnt a top end car but i wanna make sure cuz mine sucks at top end and im hoping its all Ls and not just mine.

 

you are not alone

 

honda's top end has pontential, depends on what you wannt to do and what are you are looking to get better lauchs to faster ET times

 

After 110 mph my Integra LS takes forever to pick up any additional speed.

 

you could upgrade and get better cams to start, crower i believe does make a set for the second gen and there not to hard on the pocket either, upgrading the throttle body as well would help,

 

And now, staying on the legal side of the discussion..

While the head flows reasonably well, the OEM cams are conservative at best. Also, having a lower redline and longer overall gearing hinders top-end acceleration.

All of these limitations can be remedied, of course. :rick:

 

a longer set of gears would definately do the trick

 

Yes, their 403 & 404 cam for the B18B1 are a good place to start ... if you don't have to worry about emissions legality. h: However, you'll need their springs & retainers.

Also dyno time, as well as the usual N/A bolt-ons are needed to see the greatest benefit. :run:

That question couldn't be more vague...but ls's are definetely not made for the top end. If you want power, turbo it. It will cost a lot to get a b18b good top end power if you are going the NA route. You'll need a new intake manifold, cams, valvewprings/retainers, and a ported and polished head. Nothing in the ls head is made to flow well.

Most people choose to boost b18b's.

 

No, they wouldn't.
