I have a '95 Acura Integra LS non v-tec, I need some advice on cheap mods I can begin to put into the engine. I have alrady put cold air into it.

Bad Car

Header, cat back exhaust, underdrive pulleys, cams (can be pricey), spark plugs and wires, ignition box, light weight flywheel, weight reduction. All that should give you decent power. I had an all motor LS-Vtec that was running low 13s w/ slicks.

standard..headers, cams, exhaust, LS-Vtech, spark plugs, clean up each part under the hood so that they are clean and lookin shiny.

Best cheap mods are: Making sure car is up on maintenace; i.e. stock type NGK spark plugs and wires ($50), correct timing (slight advance may help a little on the high end)(autozone rents for free), clean fuel filter ($12). Of course timing belt and water pump, and all other non-power adding necessities.On to the mods: Since you already have an intake. (make sure it is a good, CLEAN filter)Highflow catalytic converter (175 installed). Or gutted / race cat (free, but off road use only) Next, high flow exhaust custom @ muffler shop 2.25 is plenty big for non-turbo cars. ($120-200), of bolt on cat-back ($350-600)Then, header, small primaries and large collecter variety. These tend to extract the most power ($75-500).This is a good start. You may consider other things like clutch (250-450) Gripforce.com has 'em for cheap and they are good!Underdrive / lightened pullies and flywheels too.Hope it helps, KC

Depends on if you want easy bolt-ons.I'd say:ExhaustCamsBigger InjectorsComputer TuningTurbo maybe?Depends on what you want to pay and how in deoth you want to go into modding the car.Strictly performance mods? Or asthetics too?
