lighten your load, forget the msd stuff. if you use a dc header…use the 4-1 integra type r header with the 2.5 collector(it takes a little work to make this one work)…seems like you could use some cams…maybe some headwork…fuel rail and pressure regulator maybe send your injectors to rc or buy some 310s… balance the lower end. i mean it really depends on where you want to go here…if i were you and had spent all this money…why not swap? or boost…maybe?..engine management system…
I mean the 17’s look good…thats what i have for street wheels…but if you want good all around wheels go with a 15*7(volks, ssr, team dynamics, regamasters, gram lights, and 5zigen are nice) 225/50/15 and get them with a good enough offset that you can get some spoon calipers(and make sure you use a type r or gsr master cylinder) in there.
By the way megan sucks…I dont care what anyone says…muahahaha.
he wants this as a daily driver guys…
the setup you have is fine for dd and some spirited driving…
if you want to add more to your setup you first need to decide what you want in you power goal and what you’re using it for…
thats not bad for the header. i think thier like 500 new idk i would have done a swap. you should check out erick of japan in chicago his prices are reasonable Eric Japan Engines Incorporated

i say add a header and exhaust (RS*R) and b16 tranny along with the mods you have now and you’ll have a fun daily driver. a tower brace would help out also
did you read my whole thread?..you are right…they arent necessary at all…thats also why i said what i did right before that…but at the same time its not totally outlandish either.
btw…soontobe…megan sucks…and so does the 4-2-1 dc for our cars.
and like i said its my .02 cents…HE can take it for what he wants
how do you know…seen dynos?..for the 4-2-1 i agree…i put them on the same level…and you are right for a 100 bucs if all you ever plan on doing is point a to point b driving then yeah, but in that case why swap…why boost…hell why do anything to the car…just thought the guy wanted some honest opinions so thats what i gave…honestly spend the money and time…get some good headers…if you want the number to a good header guy hit me up.
motto: do shit right the first time so you wont have to go back later.
I dont mean to sound like and asshole but my injector idea is about the same as putting a 6al on an otherwise factory car simply not necessary. Will you agree?
Just to let everyone know I am in no way attacking anyone…just good convo and i think everyones opinions are just as good as mine.
Put simply, you’re at a good point for a daily driver. Ditch the ignition box, and hold off on the intake manifold till you get the cams. (try crower) After that, get some engine managment or a good, custom built chip (superchips) to tune all that goodness; and GET IT TO A DYNO!!! Tune all that shit and you got a bad ass daily driver. I’d get 15s though. Just my take on things.

seems like doing anything with a B18A is pointless…
may as well just sell it all and do a swap:shrug:
what are the options for that?! and how much are we talkin’?
I don’t wanna spend a truckload of money for basically nothing on a B18A!!
good thing I asked b4 having this stuff installed by someone who just wants to make the install cash and could care less whether or not it’s even worth it for me - that would’ve sucked!!
I wouldn’t say it’s pointless, a G2ICer told me he has 174whp on his b18a1. You just have to do the work. The major upside to building ur b18 is that YOU ALREADY HAVE IT. You can do N/A upgrades a little at a time too. You have to have a majority of the pieces before u can do a swap. Besides, you already have a SHITLOAD of goodies. USE THEM! You’ll see what can happen. Sure, you won’t have VTEC; but the YS1 is pretty torque happy.
:burnout: :manual:
my problem is that I don’t know HOW to do the work and even if I did, I don’t have the place to do it or the tools…
what is a YS1?? and how much more money am I gonna have to spend to make it worth it?! If the exhaust system is the only thing I can do right now with what I have that will make any difference (having spent over $600 for that alone) and it will only make 2-5 more hp than stock - how is that even worth it?! 2-5hp for $600+ seems like a big waste:shrug:
