1990 integra mods

[1990B18A]

hi guys just joined the site never even new it was here lol i have a 1990 ls integra with the b18a in it and just wonder what ideas and what people have done in the way of diy mods. I have had a few ideas like removing that stupid heater line that runs through the intake plenum to meet adr rules and helps fuel efficiency why try get cold air in when all that does is warm it up again. But yeah any ideas would be great

[A-man]

its there for ur cold idle... its not going to do much difference if u take it off because the whole engine bay is hot anyways.

the typical mods for a lightly modified car are intake exhaust and cams....

there are plenty of them all avalible that can be made to fit da9s

[1990B18A]

cheers bud so is there a bloke that we Honda people see any recommendations im open cam sounds good also any on had a problem with no in car fan or ac in a da9

[A-man]

its a common problem in da9s... u take it out and u should b able to fix it by pulling it apart and cleaning it out... sounds like ur dash is leaking water there is a mod to fix this aswell...

[1990B18A]

ok i got nothing to the swich

[A-man]

no voltage to switch? ull have to get a wiring diagram and follow it through or get a wire from the battery make sure it works

[1990B18A]

yeah ill look it up i suppose does some one in qld do proper intakes as well

[A-man]

whats a proper intake?

[1990B18A]

like not some piece of flexi pipe like a god alloy one also need a bonnet if u no any one

[A-man]

just coz its shiny dont mean its good... the stainless steel allow alot of heat through.. as opposed to say aluminuim or even plastic...

1990B18A: check out the parts for sale for random car parts you need, scour through the Integra topics or search a bit and you might find info on intakes, plus it will keep this thread focussed.

Just a tip but good luck

[A-man]

yeh he raises a good point there is countless threads that say what mods u can do....

in the teg tips on g2ic.com there is heaps ways of doing intakes and other things...

the best cheap mod u can do to a car is remove the resinator box under ur airbox. try that and c what happens

[1990B18A]

OK give it a go gonna buy a k&n filter to

[1990B18A]

Didi the resignator box sounds sweet as what a prick yo get out but goes bit better to

[thescotty]

with the cam idea...how much and where?

[1990B18A]

yeah i wanna find a nice set of mild cams

[1990B18A]

dnt no where but any where good in brissy

Get a grabbier clutch and lightened flywheel before you add any more power IMO - much more "racey" feel. Don't need to muck around with tuning that way either.

[A-man]

itll add more acceleration not hp. and those oem clutchs rnt real good... however i got hd one in mine and it shutters hell bad

[1990B18A]

OK well whats ruff price on a flywheel and what does OEM stand for lol and whats a good clutch

[thescotty]

OEM = Original equipment manufacturer
and i second the other questions

[crispy]

Exedy Heavy Duty is a great clutch... still light like stock but bites real nice, no shuddering (from what i experienced). Although now I am currently running a Exedy Sports Organic and I love it. The pedal feel on this one is quite heavy and it does shudder a little, but man it grabs well and it resists whatever you throw at it. So if you want a really sporty feel get the Sports Organic, however if you do a lot of stop start driving, get the Heavy Duty. Hope this helps

don't bother with cams on a b18a/b. Save up for an engine conversion instead. It will end up up setting you back $1500 and you wont get the most potential out of them without an aftermarket ecu which is another $1100 odd dollars plus tuning

[A-man]

yeh u may aswell turbo it ;)

[kikxz]

how about ls/vtec would it be just better to boost it aswell?

[1990B18A]

well i got a super charger off a 4AGZE and was thinking about putting that on it just running like 10 pound through a small same side front mount to save excess piping i want to hill climb it so i just want so extra push. (DOES ANY ONE NO IF THIS HAS BEEN DONE ) I NO TURBOS HAVE BUT I LIKE SUPERCHARGERS POWER FROM THE GET GO

[IZY-10]

i wouldnt be running 10psi i would be more incline to around 6-7psi

[A-man]

nah those superchargers r ok for 10 but i wouldnt use more... however the 1ggze superchargers off a soarer will b safer...

i dont think they have been done. u can get vortech ones there good u can get a full kit for them with intercoolers etc. those toyota superchargers r pretty robust u can put em on anything. the thing u gotta look at is the placement i dont think u would b able to fit it because there pretty long if u put them where the a/c compressor is it may interfere with the exhaust, the powersteering is the same. unless u make up an extension shaft to bring it closer to the drivers side.

here you go

from the sticky thread FAQ for integras

[A-man]

i think u need to sit down look at ur budget and what other people r doing and then just do it. i havent looked back at the turbo. if u have to much hp straight up itll spin the guts out of it my car feels like a harder version of vtec but alot sooner..

[1990B18A]

lol true i like to be different see how i go
