Performance mods

[will86]

Hi guys, New to this forum but definately not new to automotive forums.

I have a 07 Ford BFMk11 F6 ute, and my girl has a 03 Integra (maybe 05)...not a type R, just the normal one.

She wants to get abit more outta it performance wise and of course i havta do it.....and being a ford man this is hard for me...lol!!

So wats the go, Exhaust, tune, injectors, cats, cam????

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Regards
WiLL!!

welcome aboard will

on the base model, i'd go with an injen (or similar) CAI, jdm dc5r header/cat/exhaust and leave it at that. any more and you're seriously better off selling it and buying the dc5r.

would definitely go for suspension mods too, starting with the rear sway bar. the OEM tyres are dismal too, so i'd replace them as well.

Just need some prices atm

Hey Will, check out this thread over on ozhonda - Bang for your bucks – DC5R mods

How much more is she wanting? What is the general budget?

[will86]

well i just want her to feel it goes a little bit faster, maybe abit better throttle response....S/C or turbo kits are a definate no go!....hhrrmmm no more than 2K

An SRI would be better suited to throttle response rather than CAI...

Mugen twin loop exhaust? Not too loud either.

having installed one on a base dc5, i wouldnt recommend it.

[noodleman]

same here...i had a sri on the base before....and had the CAI....CAI wins

Hey Will

I had a base integra as well.
Through many owners i ended up with Noodlemans CAI hehehe (Still on the car).
It was good, i noticed a gain (well has a nice sound to it) i think.

The funny thing is that i'm a ford person myself.
I love the sedan FPV F6 but did not get one due to price and very heavy on petrol.
Welcome

Go get a AEM or the likes CAI.
If the clutch needs doing, get a light weight flywheel.
Some average headers as mentioned above somewhere, and a Mandrel bent catback with a nice sounding muffler. All you can do really...

I'd spend the 2K on coilovers myself

[noodleman]

haha yeah my CAI was a slut....been on alot of cars

[noodleman]

$1500 on 2nd hand catback and header

$500 on CAI

WIN!!!

intake will do
for most ppl if its louder its also faster.
I GUARENTEE IT!

Or you could just put NOS on it LOL (even though it would probably kill her car)

Seriously though intake & exhaust will do. Should keep the woman content for a while.

i know its not what you asked but just sell it and by a type R, after 6 months of owning a base she'll want one anyway
