Answer 1

V-Tecs are the motor to have. Skunk-2 cold air intakes, hyper chips and resets of the ECU. Hotter plugs , larger MM wires, Cat backs , less weight, etc., etc.

Answer 2

Reducing Gas Prices

We can reduce gas prices, and in many cases reduce our expenses in other areas, by reducing the demand for petroleum products. How do we reduce demand? Easy. Reduce consumption. Here are some suggestions on how to do that:

1. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Improperly inflated tires reduce gas mileage. Most tires should be inflated to 32-35 psi, but look on your tires for specific numbers.

2. Make sure your engine is properly tuned. An out of tune engine wastes gas and money. Have it checked.

3. When you stop at a stop light, stay stopped until the light is green. Don’t try to ease up a little at a time – this not only wastes gas, but wears out your brakes sooner than normal.

4. Accelerate slowly. Rapid acceleration (“jack rabbit starts”) wastes gas.

5. Use synthetic oil whenever you change or have your oil changed. Since it’s synthetic, you are not using a petroleum product therefore you are reducing demand. Most cars actually get better gas mileage with synthetic oil, so it’s a win win.

6. Whenever possible, use alternative fuels such as biodiesel or E85. They not only reduce petroleum consumption, but they are cheaper and better for the environment. Unfortunately, they are not widely available yet in most places, but start asking about them when you buy gas and fuel distributors will begin to get the message; if they think there is a market, they will supply that market.

7. Don’t rush out to buy a new car… but if you are in the market for one anyway, consider buying a more fuel efficient car or even a hybrid car. Hybrid cars are more expensive but you can get a federal tax credit which will offset much of the extra expense and if you do a lot of driving, the money you save on gas will offset the rest.

8. Carpool.

Answer 3

If your doing engine work, do i B18C1 (GSR) head. It's reliable, and if you're going to possibly put some boost to it, the LS block makes it more reliable than a stock B18C1.

You could do a B18C5 (Integra Type-R) head, but you could get very similar power from the C1 by doing cams and a few other things.

Get a new intake maifold (Skunk 2), Header (NOT A DC SPORTS, THEY ARE JUNK, DYNO PROVEN, I'd get a Greddy or a HKS each 10-15hp better than DC), Fuel regulator (B&M, not AEM), Exhaust, and a HONDATA if you really want to go that far.

Other than that play with your handling and brakes too. Power is nothing without control.

Answer 4

Ok..here i go.. ive had 2 integra.. 96LS coupe and a 98 ls sedan..

team-integra.net for more information


Intake (cold air or icebox..short ram are worthless..i have a Cold air)
Headers(i havent gotten to those yet..but i believe DCs are best)
Exhaust (i just put a flowmaster 60series on mine..i love it)

your 3 main components to help get more HP out of the LS.

Answer 5

A B16 head. You'll get your Vtec, more power than a GSR. It's pretty much a baby type-r. If you don't know, the itr is a B18C block with a B16A head. So you'd have a B18B block with the B16 head, I know with a JDM motor it should put you around 190 hp, probably around 180 hp USDM. If you can, put a B16B (ctr) head on it, I haven't seen it done, but should give you alot better power.

Answer 6

an easy way to get some more pop out of yout integ would to put the vtec cylinder head on the engine so you have an LS/vtec engine. talk to your local speedshop to get extensive details

Answer 7

Chang the head to Vtec.Log onto Hondatech and check out their forums for info on this or ask this ? in there.

Answer 8

The first thing you should do is tnstall a cold air intake and remove the factory exaust.

Answer 9

get an intake system or a v-tech
