Best way to beef up my Integra

[gotgohan]

What are the best points to beef up my integra?

Besides having lots of trouble finding a new hood and trunk.

I was thinking of taking off my cat and putting maybe a straight pipe with glass pack or something? with headers to boot. Its ALL brand new currently but its leaking and the idiot put the cat on with a clamp...

Are cold airs good for the 1.8's? Looking for a defined boost in hp like 10-15? probably asking for too much

How hard is it to install a turbo on a 1.8?

Intake?

well removing the cat is going to make for a loud ride but if that is what you want go for it. Turbo is easy to install but there is a lot of build up involved as well just to make a turbo ready car. Cold air intakes depending on how it's made will give you 5-15 hp. the more turns in the pipe the harder it is for the air to get into the engine. for cold air intakes AEM has been making them for a long time and with a K&N filter could be better(I have not done this, it's just what some people are saying)but you aren't going to get much power with just a header, exhaust, and a CAI. start doing research as to what you want to do with the car and start pricing things. Do whatever makes you happy, it's your car and your life. just start reading up. just know that if you want to race, someone will always be faster than you. have fun. hope this helped.

do the sound system first, then the exhaust, that way you can turn it up over it. haha, at least for me anyway. everything helps a little bit, but i know removing the cat wasnt worth the extra noise. you can try a high flow cat.

lol sadly my DA is ebay sponsored lol

ya you wont see a significant gain with cai, header, high flowcat and a full exhaust system maybe 30hp over stock real gains come with real money lol turbo, all motor, build forged parts etc

I would love to see a dyno sheet where someone on here got a 5whp gain from an intake
