Jackua Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I have a '95 Integra LS (automatic ) and it has over 150k miles on it and it burns oil... so I am planning on having the engine completely rebuilt. After that I am not too sure about what I should focus on to improve the performance under the hood... I'm only 16 so I have a limited income, lol... so if you could help me with suggestions and where to find parts cheap I'd appreciate it, thanks.

..SSR.. Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 It will be cheaper to buy a lower milage engine than doing a rebuild. First thing I would do is change it to a five speed. While you're at it throw in some high compression CP pistons and Rocket Motorsports camshafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CivicCigol Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 It's cheaper to just drop a new engine in there...less mileage and all. I'd definitely suggest a auto to manual swap while you're at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackua Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 thanks for the advice... I decided not to go along the rebuild path, but maybe go LS/VTEC instead... I'm not sure about everything I need to get started but I have a decent idea...

..SSR.. Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Just get a used head. New isn't worth the money unless you are building a full race car where every tiny fraction of a horsepower matters. New and used you won't notice a difference. ITR cams = CTR cams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
