I would also strongly suggest if you go with a custom kit(a better bet IMO over a shelf kit but costly and somewhat of a PITA to fit together), order a set of dual FAL electric radiator fans(for a 3rd gen integra from Summit for $315), as the stock fans are too deep, not too mention, don't cool as well. Add on another $10 for water wetter too to help keep the car cool, along with a Spoon Thermostat and Mugen radiator cap too. All small but worthwhile extras to insure safe/optimal running conditions. Also $25-$30 for 6 quarts of synthetic oil, as you will need to get it changed via install.
Spock what made you go with walbro over the bosch pump?

Also, others who haven't bought A/M fans, you might consider getting a replacement radiator. You can get a 5th gen prelude c&r radiator w/fan for around $450-500. But I think if your just running 7-9lbs on a stock head, you could just wire on the stock fans to stay on all the time and it would keep the bay cool enough.

Yeah, it's too bad no one makes a good 3" exhaust, atleast borla offers the option of 3" inlet to 2x2 1/2" outlets so you don't have to have like a 6" tip...

The one other thing the market is missing is an oil pan with good baffling made for our car.
