My 96 DB7: The Quest For 200HP ALL MOTOR

So now that I've become familiar with this site I've decided to put my build thread in the correct place. :)

I have a 1996 Acura Integra LS. The color is Black Corrant Pearl. When I got the car 4years ago I didn't know to much about integra's or even cars for that matter. Since then I have become very familiar with my integra with the help of a few CI members.

Exterior
Steelies (yumm)

Interior
grey cloth (OEM)
cheapo radio (DUAL)

Engine
1993 B18A1 (long story) w/ B1 valve cover
Yonaka 4-1 header
Magnaflow Muffler
Energy Suspension Inserts
PW JDM Cam Cap
DIY ICEBOX
B18B1 Intake manifold

Transmission
1996 Integra LS S80 Hydro
Exedy OEM Clutch

Suspension
TruHart struts
Eibach Sport Line Lowering springs
Blox LCAs

My plans are to do an all motor build. I once inspired to boost but have since grown out of that.

My future parts list includes:

Exedy Flywheel
P30 pistons or PR3s (which ever I can get the easiest)
NPR Piston rings
crower 403/404
Flat face valves
3angle valve job
edlebrock Victor X
68mm throttle body
AEM or Skunk2 Cam Gears
crower valvetrain
P&P
High Flow Catalytic Converter
2.25" exhaust
ASR subframe Brace
Sway bar
Neptune

After doing a lot of research and then doing some more research my power goal for this build is the 180-200HP range. Not trying to build a "Race" car but I would like for my teg to get up and go especially when merging on to the highway.

and finally what you be all been waiting for......PICS:


how the taillights were when i got the car

and after a little TLC




my yonaka 4-1 header


I still have a sh** ton of work but that's my leggy and I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

comments and suggestions and constructive criticism is welcome :)

I've relocated the battery to the trunk (because I wanted to clear out the engine bay) and deleted the CC because I don't use it, and polished my driver side motor mount which you probably can't tell lol

It's not the best job but it will do for now...

And here is a pic of the interior after a good cleaning

and I know at some point someone is gonna say "it looks like you have the wrong radiator in there..." I know...when I got the car it had what appeared to be an Accord radiator, but its doing its job for now and at some point I plan to get an OEM full size or a half radiator.

Nice progress man. You should do something about the chrome trim around the windows. Maybe sand it down and paint it black.
