I cant get a crx because my dad wont let me(im still under 18) because hes afraid im going to kill myself in it and he also says I have to get a newer car because he says all the EG and crx are too old soo this is all i can get...Im just wanting the cheapest but also safe way to make power...

yea i was thinking about that too but when im over 18 im not going to be able to afford a car i really want so they are willing to get one of these so i can stick with one of these for a while...

trust me DO NOT MODIFY A CAR UNLESS YOU LOVE IT

you will end up like me out a ton of money and bitter.

its just not worth it save up and get somthing you want that makes you happy.

I soon will be doing so and i would have been able to year or so ago and already have that modded nicly by now had i saved more money then dumping into a car i didn't like to try to make it to my liking.

oo well i really dont plan to mod it yet i just want to have it for daily driving at the moment so i wont have to go back and buy it later...if i do anything to it its probably just going to be bolt-ons if even that...

actually I just might be able to get a DA Integra LS so I might just get that and get bolt-ons and a b16 tranny...soo i was really putting that into consideration...im not getting the car yet im just saving right now and trying to research the car im going to try to get...

yea good one...

I hate to sound mocking but it doesn't happen like that if your a car person.

I said i'll stop with my b16 swap my gsr swap my lsvtec you get the point.

I also said i'm not modding my z28 thats why I have a Hurst shifter and priced true duals for it. :sunglasse

DA tegs are the bomb!

just buy my car pretty much brand new fast and its a steal!

Yea i guess thats true that when you get one thing you want another...but with the DA teg do you think I could do high 14s on a 1/4 mile with just the b16 tranny and i/h/e?

possible yes
probbly yea

need great driving and healthy motor but I can see those times from that setup
ps skip i/h/e do mild cams more power less money.

wait do them both hehe

if i got mild cams should i still get cam gears? i guess i could do the cams before i/h/e if that would get me more power in the beginning...soo i/h/e and mild cams...how much faster should that get?

Yes cam gears are a great idea even with mild cams.

Cams do wonders in the b18a/b motors how wild you want to go depends on you.
Mild cams untuned have been shown to net more gains then I/H/E on LS motors. Just food for thought.

so just a couple questions on mechanics...i dont have too much experience in it but my friends know a lot so theyll help me but i was just wondering how hard it is to install a b16 tranny, the cams, i/h/e...i wanna learn how to do it myself...

tranny bolts right up.
Cams arn't hard really if you have someone to help all the better.

I/H/E most lower forms of primates can do it.

You got a sweet lil setup for a simple good DD and will be easy to make.

Any suggestion on what cams? I dont want cams that are too mild but not very aggressive either...and if i do get cams im guessing i would have to get the valve springs/retainers....

Depending what cams you get you might not need them.

Do you want to do whole deal with that or no?

I was thinking CTR cams...im not going all out so just some mild cams that dont involve a lot more modding and tuning...

yea im not sure which cams would be good for a LS motor...

oo yea and i figured i cant put vtec cams on a b18a so i hear crower stage 2 cams really kick ass in LS...so would $500 (without install) be enough to cover that and whatever else i need with it?
