my thread on the vti-r will be similar, i have an exauhst one on vti-r as well

hey man

congratulations on the purchase, ive had mine since new, and to be honest, i havent do e much as i havent really seen the need.

All ive done is lower it a bit on Kings Sprins (PLEASE dont do that, it looks nice, but makes the handling a little sloppy) which im looking at swapping for coilovers

and i got an Injen intake to make it sound a little rortier, put on some Falken Azenis "Semi Slicks" and i love it the way it is

the motor is quite highly strung and tuned from the factory, getting more power out of this motor is a relatively expensive excercise. Take a look at the sticky's above in the Integra forum, they give you an idea.

Tuning is the key too.. you could put a 2k extractor and exhaust setup, without tuning you wont get much from what i have read here

anyhow, keep it the way it is for a while, and if your going to mod, do your research and do it right the first time, dont mess up a great car

Good luck dude

[jakson88]

[VTECACCORD]

your mod list.

1. Toda Header
2. Mugen Cat Back
3. Mugen intake
4. spoon sport no adjustable dampers and springs

expensive but well worth it

[Zilli]

**** man

over 5k in product and installation....

i say do your research and weigh things up

with the above suggestion you may get X hosrepower improvement, but for half that money you may get 5 hp less.... is the extra 5hp worth all the extra money?

[jakson88]

thanks vtecaccord.

ok i went to hipower racing yesterday and this is wat he sugested,
mugen ( copies ) headers, reinhard 2 and a half inch catback, and vafc. he also wrote down airpod and piping dont know which brand. this is what he rekons would give me best bang for bucks addind this up it would come to $2300 wif install and tuning. i added up how much it would be for real good sh*t would be bout 5k wif install so dont know if i should lash out or go wif hipowers advise.

Hey Zill,
with the king springs, did you just install them with the stock struts or with aftermarket shocks to suit?

[VTECACCORD]

king springs will destroy a dc2r's handling, dont even bother with them.

The mugen replica headers will hold you back, toda has proven to be the best power wise, the mugen intake is also proven to be the best.

The mods I have listed will give u results, most others wont. Pay a premium and you will love it.

btw you cannot tune a stock ecu, so how the hell is the guy going to tune ur ride ?

Thought I'd offer my recommendations

Headers - Toda, Mugen
Exhaust - heaps out there, but Mugen and HKS Silent HiPower are two that aren't unreasonably loud and will keep you out of trouble.
Intake - Mugen Air Intake (I've heard ARC are good).
Ecu - tuneable - PowerFC, Hondata but you'll need to rely on finding a good tuner for these. Otherwise a Spoon/Mugen plug and play factory tuned ECU.

Suspension just depends on what you want. Spoon shocks and springs are ok for street, but if you want something that's more handling focussed (say for a bit of track work), then something like Cusco/HKS/TEIN/Zeal coilovers are your bet. Avoid just springs - If you're going to do it, do it right. You'll lose more money trying to correct your mistakes later on.

The mod I've been very impressed with are forged rims. There aren't many rims lighter than stock 15's @ 5.8kg (JDM forged 15/16's generally are), but if you get something heavier and/or bigger (18's) you'll lose engine response. Get something lighter and you'll enhance engine response quite a bit. So again just do it right. I cringe when I see crap/heavy/chrome wheels on a R - it just corrupts the whole philosohpy of the car...
