Best set up?

Post by Danny-G »

I've been tossing a few different builds for my '93 around and I can't figure out which is the best.
Option 1. 22t swap with the basic upgrades, TD04, topmount, bigger exhaust, walbro fuel pump, and maybe Delta street cams.
Option 2. boost the stock 22e with, probably, a VF11, topmount, bigger exhaust, walbro fuel pump, and mild cam work.
Option 3. high compression, like 10:1 with a walbro, better intake set up, Delta street cams, and bigger exhaust.
Option 4. 22t/20g hybrid with rob tuned 20g ecu, walbro, bigger exhaust, topmount, maybe bigger injectors, some sort of fender well mounted air filter, possibly intercooler sprayer, and maybe some cam work.

All of the options but three would include lowering. Three, lower would be an option but I might stick to the off road theme if I go that route. For 1, 2, and 4, the suspension would consist of adding a rear sway bar and an upgraded one at that, front sway bar upgrade, upgraded endlinks, all bushings being replaced, front and rear strut bars, and fender braces. Of course, all of them include higher preformance tires on my fozz wheels and definatly brake upgrades cause "l" brakes suck!
So, for a dd that sees some ricer killing and mostly street time, what would be the best set up? I'm not looking for big power, just enough to kill the average Civic and be competitive with Preludes. I can dust the Civics already but its just not good enough for me, I wanna go faster than I do now. And theesnothing like killing two door coupes in an older family sedan haha.

10:1 is not very high compression for an NA. I vote for 22t with 20k heads and rob tune, injectors and td05.
