Quickest and cheapest way to increase performance of 93 Acura Integra?

Question

What would be the easiest and cheapest way to increase the performance of a 93 acura integra? Should i just get cold-air intake and an aftermarket exhaust or what?

Answer 1

Go for the bolt-ons: intake, exhaust, headers. They're not necessarily cheap, but the cheapest. And I think it's better and cleaner than going for turbo/supercharge, it won't wear out your engine and thus hurt your resale value. But if you do want to make a BEAST out of your car... well that is the way to go.

Answer 2

The cheapest is weight reduction.  Remove everything in the car that's not needed for it to run and you'll be shocked at ho much faster it feels and how well it handles.

Answer 3

really, you should read some articles online how to drive better. I have a friend that is a racing instructor, and he doesn't believe in modifing the engine. He'll modify his chassis.

Also, there was an episode on Fifth Gear where a group of people gathered at some event, and all the drivers had modified cars. Most of the drivers showed off their car's 0-60 time, however none of them were able to beat the manufacturer's 0-60 set time.

Anyways, if you want to go for looks, then add a cold-air intake. that will be cheaper.
