any of the non vtec ones,
b18a b18b b20
b16a or any vtec ones will not

[kikxz]

been looking at S/C or turbo my left over B18A1 , basically i read a few threads about turboing or supercharging it,
a guy wrote this in hondaswap:

well, its not the # of hp gained, its when and where the hp is gained.

100 hp from a blower is great, but front wheel drive cars like ours benefit from maxemizing their strenghts, and dealing with loads of low end power and torque is not one of them.

"If you decided to turbo your car and gained lets say 90hp (just to prove my point) the power wouldnt come right away (turbo lag) but it would be available from 3krpms to your redline (unlike a blower which becomes less effective as more stress is put on the crank pulley).

One thing to consider with a frontwheel drive car is the issue of traction. If you cant get traction you arent going to go anywhere so to speak, and in this case, a turbo would be your friend, because you will be able to hook up nice off the line and then your power will kick in.

hope that helps"

does this sum up the diff between the 2? lolz
thanking you guys

Yeah its way to hard to find a supercharger, say jackson racing charger for the DA unless you have a vtec inside, they are more readily available with a price.

you can custom modify a SC14 Toyota charger with custom brackets etc but way to much extra work. Best bet is to go boost lol

[DA9-47]

yeah i had a look around and i think boost is the way to go man,

S/C too much bullshit,


quick question, the 3 bolts on the standard I/M on b18a that the fuel rail sits on , can they come out? i heard that you can use two bolts to get it off ,

just wondering if they do come out

cheers

=)

anyone know good places for DA9 body kits either single or whole sets?

[mooshie]

do you mean OEM or aftermarket? I may have an Black Widow (looks like my avatar) kit for sale soon... if I can figure out how to fit the oil cooler and intercooler into a standard front bar w/OEM lip.

TBH, I would not put a kit on a DA nowadays

I've fit it with my coolers before, cut the grille out and trim the lip a tad to clear the intercooler. A bracket can be made to fit the oil cooler behind the left hand vent.

[mooshie]

Yeah, I know it can be done, its just the hassle of actually doing it! I have a spare front bar to practise and experiment with so will get around to it eventually

Yeah it probably look better as is with just a touch-up paint job after getting rid of tiny rust marks near rear window Need to push out my right front headlight area aswell thx to stupid person in corolla decided to quickly stop in front of me last year and since then bonnet sits about 1-2cm up from original position but still good.

After the amount i've spent on the car this year it couldn't hurt lol

[91type-r]

All good, TBH I had actually forgotten all about it! Would be keen to get a couple if you do come across them again though.

91type-r can you post a link to the shop you used? I am looking at re doing my suspension at the moment and would be keen to know of another resource.

Here is the link to their ebay store.
Parts are good quality and have made a big improvement in steering feel.

this is the parts I bought:
4 Tie Rod ends ACURA INTEGRA 90-93 OUTER INNER RACK END

Postage took about a week to arrive.
hope that helps!
