Mahdavi Motorsports’ Custom Acura Integra LS Transformation
The Acura Integra LS, a beloved model among car enthusiasts for its sleek design and potential for performance upgrades, was given a new lease on life by Mahdavi Motorsports. A dedicated owner sought to maximize their Integra’s performance, turning to Mahdavi Motorsports for their renowned expertise in custom engine builds and turbo installations. The project involved building a robust bottom end and integrating a custom turbo kit, transforming the Integra into a formidable performance machine.
Building the Heart of the Beast
Mahdavi Motorsports began by strengthening the Integra LS’s bottom end, a crucial step for handling the increased power from the turbo kit. This involved installing forged pistons, connecting rods, and a high-performance crankshaft, all designed to withstand the rigors of forced induction. With the bottom end fortified, the team then moved on to the turbo installation. They designed a custom turbo kit tailored specifically for the LS engine, featuring a high-efficiency turbocharger, an intercooler to optimize air temperature, and custom exhaust manifolds to ensure optimal airflow.
The result was a dramatic increase in horsepower and torque, elevating the Integra’s performance to new heights. Mahdavi Motorsports’ meticulous attention to detail ensured that the engine modifications were perfectly harmonized, delivering a smooth and powerful driving experience. The upgraded Integra LS not only boasted impressive power but also retained its reliability and daily drivability. This project highlights Mahdavi Motorsports’ ability to push the boundaries of performance while maintaining the essence of what makes the Acura Integra a favorite among enthusiasts.
