Integra4200

Im looking to buy a 94+ acura integra. i dont kno much about them yet but i like the way they look/run. i was considering buying a GSR with a lot of miles on it for a cheaper price and doing a Type-R engine swap. is this a good idea? I was thinking about buying the GSR integra for around 5k then buying a Integra Type-R Complete Motor for $5500 is this a good price? also i was wondering if i should buy the Type-R or a spoon engine?
B16A ENGINE ASSEMBLY -- $5,880.00
B16B ENGINE ASSEMBLY -- $6,125.00
B18C ENGINE ASSEMBLY -- $6,370.00
these are the engines i've found and the prices...are these good prices? and which one would i want for a integra? thanks


please give me any tips or ideas for my integra project...thanks

if you are going to do an engine swap, why buy the GSR? just buy an RS (if you want power nothing), an LS, or a GS.

because the GSR has better interior correct?

the gsr is like the loaded version of the integra.....i would just buy a gsr and keep the b18c1 in it and build that up if you are looking for alot of power.........i was looking at the wholesale prices to build up my whole engine and i came up with around the price of about $4500 and with the whole turbo setup it would be $7500.......my car would be damn fast with all of that done to my engine

yeah but the only gsr's i can afford for right now have like 150k miles on them so im looking to do a engine swap after a while when i can afford it. i just want the gsr cus it has the nicer interior and power opitions. Can anyone tell me whats better the spoon engine or a Type-R?

got v-tec?

if i were u id by the the cheapest 94 integra ls and get turbo or get a gsr engine in it, i got my b18c1 for 3200 and 500 instalation.

Why not just buy the gsr and have the engine rebuilt with BETTER internals.... sleeved and lightweight rods/pistons. CHOOSE your compression ratio to suit your plans... no more than 9:1 if you plan on turbo, no more than 10:1 if you plan nitrous, and if you wanna be naturally aspirated go as high as your fuel system and block will handle. this will eliminate the need for a new ecu and wiring hassles, and im not up on my swaps too well but it eliminates the possibility of needing new engine mounts or other things. this will leave you with a better motor in the long run with 0 miles on it and it will be cheaper. our shop could do all that for probably less than $5,000... That's pulled, built, and reinstalled.... and you get to keep the gsr intake and cam profile. we even sell the parts cheap as they come. then if you plan turbo you just buy turbo cams and turbo it (FMIC, FMU, upgraded MAP, etc.) why spend money swapping motors when if you plan on building up the motor later you would have to then spend again to build it up? The GSR motor is a worthy motor to build up. So you would end up with a BUILT motor rather than a new STOCK motor. lets do some math... buy motor and swap $5,500+, then if you wanna build it up you gotta pay again, tack on another 5,000. so it takes more time before you end up with a built motor and you wind up paying over $10,000 before it ends up being something great. building the GSR up you only spend that $5000 once and it will be BUILT and never have to have your motor torn apart again to upgrade it (unless you blow it up)

riiiiiiiiight.

the forum i usually post at is down right now but some guy did a h22 swap into his 91 integra and it took SOOOOOOOOOO much custom work. i'd get the link, but, as stated earlier, the site is down. B series is the only practical swap for an integra.

h22 is the most overated motor put out by honda by far IMO.

why not jus buy an ls an turbo that?

it'd be a lot cheaper and u'd be into the 13's...

get a newer ls(newest you can afford) then get a type-r engine and turbo that biotch!
