Default What mods would be good for a 95 Integra GSR?

I have an intake and exhaust on my 95 GSR. What other mods would you suggest getting for her? I don't want to spend too much, but I'm willing to put what is needed....couple grand for as many mods as possible. Basically looking for the most bang for my buck.Thanks

It is tough to mod up any import with the price of aftermarket parts on imports these days but the best way to go is to maybe get a supercharger. A turbo kit would be a little too expensive and with a turbo you would have to definitely build up the bottom end of the car, such as the pistons, rods, springs so the high level of boost doesn't ruin your engine. The supercharger will operate at a lower psi and shouldn't require that. If you don't want to go the forced induction route you could always go for an AEM intake, V-AFC fuel computer + VTEC controller, DC headers, Skunk cams, good Eibach springs (for better launches and less wheel hop when launching), and maybe some cosmetic upgrades. I wouldn't go the nitrous route either due to the cost of having to fill the bottle every time and the wear and tear on the engine. The above mods will run you about your price range and will keep the car running longer as well. You could also work on getting an MSD ignition system, which isn't too expensive and would allow you to set a spark rev limiter that you can set yourself. If you hook this up to a button in your car you can actually hold the gas all the way down with the button held down and the car will hold steady at 4000 rpm's, then when you are ready to launch just let go of the button and you will rev higher, again reducing wheel hop and getting better launches.It is upgrades like these that are very beneficial and somewhat cheap.

Simply put the most bang for your buck will be a turbo kit. Get either a Greddy, Edelbrock, or Turbonetics they have every part necessary to install it and it only takes about 10 hours to do so. They run aroun $3,300. Look at it like this you will be gaining around 100 HP, and 60 ft lbs of torque. If you spent that on other mods you would probably get half the HP. Just so you know that most "bolt on" parts rarely give HP figures. Cold air 1-3 HP catback exhaust 5-10, header 4-9. Look at it like this you will have a 270 HP integra!!! Very fun.
