Q: Acura Integra?
I have a ‘95 Acura Integra LS non v-tec, I need some advice on cheap mods I can begin to put into the engine. I have alrady put cold air into it.
A: Best cheap mods are: Making sure car is up on maintenace; i.e. stock type NGK spark plugs and wires ($50), correct timing (slight advance may help a little on the high end)(autozone rents for free), clean fuel filter ($12). Of course timing belt and water pump, and all other non-power adding necessities.
On to the mods:
Since you already have an intake. (make sure it is a good, CLEAN filter)
Highflow catalytic converter (175 installed). Or gutted / race cat (free, but off road use only)
Next, high flow exhaust custom @ muffler shop 2.25 is plenty big for non-turbo cars. ($120-200), of bolt on cat-back ($350-600)
Then, header, small primaries and large collecter variety. These tend to extract the most power ($75-500).
This is a good start. You may consider other things like clutch (250-450) Gripforce.com has ‘em for cheap and they are good!
Underdrive / lightened pullies and flywheels too.
Hope it helps,
KC
Q: acura integra?
is acura integra good for used cars? I want to buy a used acura integra thats been ran for 150000km..should I?How long will it last?
is it good for 1st car driver?
A: They are a mechanically reliable, fuel efficient car. I used to own an 01 Mustang GT, and I actually like my 92 Integra better. They handle like they are on rails. The Integra became the RSX here in the United States (sounds like you are in a different country than I am). It’s a good car for a first driver. Just take good care of it and it will last a while.

What model Acura Integra is the best for customization and performance
And based on your answer what would insurance be (16 yrs old) and how much is the car itself.
A: integra gsr…you want late 1900’s maybe a 96 or 97.they are fast to begin with and offer good mileage too. insurance would be a little much as it is a sports coupe but the car itself maybe run you anywhere from $3500-$5000 maybe 6 if you find a very nice one but mostly all gsr’s will be molested and modded.

Q: How to covert a 2001 acura integra with an automatic transmission into a manual?
I have a 2001 acura integra. I love my car but saddly it is an automatic. What would I need to convert it into a manual. Time and money are not a factor
A: if money is not a factor go for it, it may cost alot.
“I just did an auto to manual swap over the weekend. I did all my research on this forum. Not all
of the threads were complete, so I decided to make a complete one.
I already had turbo in my car, but it sucked because it was an auto. This was worth it.
I have a 97 Integra LS.
Parts list
1. Manual Tranny with the fork and pilot bearing and flywheel cover. (I gotta LS for my turbo setup)
2. Clutch with pressure plate (I gotta Clutch Master from Ultrarev.com $409)
3. Flywheel (I gotta Clutch Master from Ultrarev.com $187)
4. All flywheel and pressure plate bolts (automatic ones are different)
5. Manual Starter with the 2 bolts (one long and one short)
6. Front tranny mount
7. Manual Rear support bracket (the one in the back that connects the tranny and the block)
8. Manual Front Tranny mount (it’s the arm with 3 holes in it, the automatic is different)
9. Upper Tranny Conversion mount (I got mine from Hasport for $175, its a must, unless you want to modify
a stock manual mount. The automatic mount will not fit.)
10. clutch pedal (brake and gas are optional, I just cut my brake smaller and got
covers for the pedals. looks alright.
11. clutch master with clutch reseviour
12. slave cylinder
13. hard clutch lines going from clutch master to slave cylinder
14. soft clutch line between the hard clutch lines and slave cylinder
15. shift linkages with the pin and clamp for the shifter and
the 2 washers and bolt that support the stablizer
16. shifter
17. shift knob (skunk2)
18. manual shift console with shift boot
19. Everyone says that you need manaul axels and intermediate shaft, but
I was able to get away with using my automatic ones. But if you’re not sure
get the manual ones. I wasn’t sure either, but I had a set when I bought the tranny.
20. Optional Manual ECU. I bought one, but didn’t use it becuase the wiring harness is different
for automatics. My automatic one works just fine.
21. All the nuts and bolts to bolt in the new parts. Look on http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/ to see what you need.
You’re probably going to need all the tranny bolts, the three bolts for the front tranny mount,
the starter bolts, the shift linkage bolts, flywheel, and pressure plate bolts, also optional is
the silver arm that connects the tranny and block from the bottom. the automatic one is different.
22. Crucial tools: Something to cut metal,breaker bar, drill,and torque wrench for flywheel and pressure plate (19 lbs)
I was able to do the swap with a 137 piece crafsman tool set. You’ll also need some sheet metal.
Getting Started
1. I spent over a year collecting the parts, its up to you on how long you want to search. I searched ebay and junk yards.
Make sure you get the right parts, people on ebay sell automatic parts listed as manual parts.
Make sure you know your stuff.
2. I took whole motor out (highly recommended) because it’s easier that way and I need to change the timing belt.
You also need to take out the automatic shifter console. Make sure it’s in Park.
3. Once you get the motor out, take off the automatic tranny and all the torque converter.
4. Put the flywheel with bearing, clutch, and pressure plate on. Make sure you torque it right with a torque wrench.
5. Make sure your tranny has the right pilot bearing. I got one from Clutch Master that came with my
clutch. It did not work. It was too thick. I had to take my tranny out again to replace it when
I was done. What a pain in the A$$.
6. Bolt on the tranny. If you want, you can test the tranny if it works. Put it into first gear
with the shift linkage, put an axel in one side and turn it to see if the cluch is gripping.
You’ll know it’s gripping if the other side where the axel goes in is also turning.
This is what I should have done before I put the motor back in.
7. The automatic tranny had an extra throttle cable and clips. The manual one only needs the
speed sensor and the the reverse lights
8. Just put the motor back in and all your axels and stuff and Add your fluids.
9. Where the automatic shifter is, there’s a cover welded onto the bottom to protect the cable.
That needs to be cut out. I cut mine out from inside the car. If you don’t cut it out, the
shift linkage will not fit. Just cover it up with sheet metal later with silicone to seal it.
10. You’ll also need to drill the 2 holes to bolt up the shiftl linkage stablizer bar. They’re
already marked for you. It’s the 2 outline of holes that aren’t drilled yet.
11. Put the clutch lines in with teflon tape. They don’t need to be bolted on. I just left mine hanging.
Then you need to put in the clutch pedal and bleed the clutch.
12. When the shifter and clutch is in, the you’ll want to do the wiring. I found this picture on the internet.
It really helped alot, but the directions where kinda of confusing so I cleaned it up a little.

Q: How can i convert my 1992 Acura Integra from automatic to Manual tranny?
Converting 1992 Acura integra from auto to manual How do i do it and can anyone help me on how to start this project. Please i need answers asap.
A: Honestly you can get a 96-97 GSR for the price of the swap. There is way more to this than just swapping the tranny. Your total cost of doing this and doing it correctly is about $5000-$7000. You will need tranny, tranny mounts, axles, flywheel from the manual car, ECU from the manual car, COMPLETE wiring harness from the manual car, shift linkages, shifter, shift boot, center console to accept the shifter, the three pedal assembly because the size and placement of the brake in the automatic will not allow the clutch pedal to operate properly, clutch master cylinder, hydraulic lines, and someone that has done this swap before. I cannot stress this enough GET A PROFESSIONAL TO DO THIS!!!! You will be putting your life as well as others at risk with a junk install and used parts.
Q: How much is a new clutch for a acura integra?
How much is a new clutch for a 99′ acura integra? How often do you typically need to change it?
How do i know if my clutch is slipping?
A: We replaced the clutch in my son’s ‘94 Integra last year. He bought the parts but I recall it was in the $200-$300 range.
Replacement was an adventure, harder than any other I have done. Most of it was pretty straightforward, but because of the shape of things the bellhousing had to rotate about 30 degrees to drop it out the bottom (jackstands provided enough room). That wasn’t so bad, but it meant the transmission jack could not be used and that was a big problem when it came time to remount it. Normally there is a need to get it lined up vertically and wiggle to get the shaft in the pilot bearing, but in this case it had to rotate too. I actually strained a muscle in my face getting it lined up – it hurt for days. One more complication – we had a devil of a time getting the pilot bearing out until we realized it came out the back side of the flywheel. The flywheel has to come off and then it is easy.
His clutch was not slipping, but it made a grinding noise when the clutch pedal was depressed in gear. One of the springs had worn through the cage and was scraping on the flywheel or pressure plate. That seems to be a pretty common failure mode for Acura clutches.
Q: What type of light bulb is a 2000 acura integra highbeam?

Q: Why does the acura integra gsr vtec engine have an inner and outter valve spring for the intake?
Why does the acura integra gsr vtec engine have an inner and outter valve spring for the intake?
Does this have something to do with the vtec component, i.e once a certain rpm is hit, it does somethign different with the intake valves?
A: A single spring looses coil tension over the life of the engine. Two springs share the stresses and prolong the action of the springs’ performance. And yes, they help to prevent “valve floating” at high RPMs.
Q: How to customize Acura Integra Type-R Vortex in Need for Speed Underground?
I unlocked a acura integra, the one you race in the very beginning of the game(white with red and black vinlys). I really like how it looks, however, the performance(speed, acceleration, and handling) are very poor. Is there a way to upgrade the performance of it. With a beautiful visuals on the car, there has to be a way to upgrade the speed.
A: Sadly i havent played underground in a while but if i remember something was i was NOT able to upgrade cars i won….You can upgrade your carreer car yes…But the cars like the boss’s and the special cars that you can drive in quick race are not modible sadly…The only modable cars are the ones in carreer and the cars you make for fun
( also….if you play shift on ps3…please answer my question.,…you will most likely get 10 points)
Q: How can I make my 91 acura integra faster?

A: had buddy that turbo pumped 21psi in one and was doing 10.5. it blew up later though.
Q: How to sound proof the interior of my 1995 Acura integra?
It is old and the upholstery is torn a little bit. I am planning to just do some minor fixups for the torn upholstery. While I am at it, is there anything that could be done to reduce the external road noise inside? Basically, if I have to listen to music inside the car, I have to play it at the high volume. Any suggestions for sound proofing and how much it would cost? It is a ‘95 Acura Integra – fabric interior
Thanks
A: you can pull all the interior out of it and use a product called dyno -matt,its sound proofer and does work really well ,its pretty expensive though but well worth what is cost.you can find it at this web site,they have plenty of it,i use it and i like the way it does,,good luck with it, http://eastwood.com/

Q: How do you replace the brake light switch on a 1996 Acura Integra?
How do you replace the brake light switch on a 1996 Acura Integra?
My brake lights are out. Peeking under the dash, the stop light switch is wedged in an impossibly tight location. I can’t even reach the plug at the back to test the connections or switch. To remove the switch you have to unscrew it, which requires unplugging it, which is impossible. Don’t tell me I have to remove the steering column to the left, or the main fuse box to the right!
A: I found the following at:
http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/04/f8/5d/0900823d8004f85d/repairInfoPages.htm
To replace a stoplight switch, first determine what type of switch you have.
If you have an electrical switch mounted to the brake pedal in the passenger compartment:
Unscrew the switch.
Unplug the wires.
Replace with a new switch. Adjust as needed.
Plug the wires back in.
If you have a hydraulic pressure switch that is mounted in the brake master cylinder: check the brake fluid level
Mark and disconnect the wires.
Unscrew the switch.
Screw the replacement switch in.
Reconnect the wires.
