Well, depends what you want to do. Bolt ons or internals with a rebuild? Here's a good set up of bolt ons for starters. Yowai-SS or PWJDM power chamber intake system, or just a AEM cold air intake. DC Sports 4-1 or 4-2-1 performance header. High flow cat combined with a free flowing cat back exhaust system, Apexi or Greddy are good to choose from. Or just go to a muffler shop and tell them to replace your exhaust with 2.5" piping and free flowing performance muffler. NGK spark plugs and wires. After all of that get a tune. Want a little more ponnies? Remove your power steering and A/C.

power steering and AC delete do not give you noticable hp...it may free up as much as an SRI. Boltons will do. you dont need to go all out, but a GOOD header with a Power chamber style intake or AEM V2 or CAI, paired with a good exhaust IE Mandrel bent 2.36" piping. or you can always get pistons and cams etc

Well thats why I said "a little more ponnies" as in "it ain't much but its a lil bit more". Hence why I didn't say HP lol

best thing to do is do a CTR N1 pully but he commutes in his car so ac removal etc is a bad idea and im assuming he has a DA like his picture, those i think ps deletes fry the rack

If comforts your thing... A/C I agree to keep. TX sucks ass in the summer

if you really want to feel the b20 pull harder, pick up a b16 cable trans, or a b17 trans, either one with give you a noticeable difference than the ls (long ass geared) trans

just add basic bolt ons.....
and advance your dizzy....

isnt b16 and b17 trans the same? and the final drive on the b18 tranny is shorter than the 94+ integra. plus as a communter i think he would appreciate a longer 5th gear

 

[DumaDa9]

yea they're about the same, but i just wanted to mention both short geared trans that were cable. honestly, if he were to do b20vtec with a b16 tranny, his shit would rip

Exactly why I'm keeping mine.

My friend took out his power steering and used a steering rack from a Civic instead.

I'd just go with a YS1 tranny. very reliable

 

[DumaDa9]

you do know that YS1 is b17, b16, and LS cable trans right, they all have the same code

 

[evilminion88]

yeah... exactly! lol

 

[DumaDa9]

either way, pretty much every tranny has shorter gear ratios than ls hahaha
