what engine/what turbo

i have a 92 integra ls with a brand new clutch in it. i have $5000 dollars to play with and i definately want to swap in an engine and then turbo the motor. i was thinking some sort of b18 but im not sure. what do you guys think for an engine and then what turbo. If necessary i can extend my budget but i would like to keep it to 5k. thanx guys, any help from knowledgeable people is appreciated.


p.s also what type of horse power could i expect from whatever engine and turbo u reccomend

uh if its a 92 teg ls uh you should have a b18 in there already so just go for a turbo setup dont worry about swapping

They arent as strong as the b18b's and you probly have a good amount of miles on it right? You could fortify the internals or swap, and then turbo it. Did you want an engine with VTEC.

honestly, i want whatevas the best

the best is expensive. Just fortify you're engine with strong internals. Rods, pistons, bolts, sleeves, etc. etc.

cheapest way would be to swap a b18b1 w/ lower miles, and turbo that.

u'd be into the 13's w/ that set-up alone (w/ stock internals).

is the b18b1 the same engine in a gsr?

no, the b18b is not the same as a gsr... it is rated at 142 hp and like 127 trq i believe. the gsr is a good bit more than that and quite a bit more expensive as well. it is said that a b18b can handle as much as 12 psi of boost on stock internals, to put one in your 92 though I am pretty sure you are going to be playing with the obd computer jazz... (I think yours is obd0, I know the b18b is at least obd1, the newest may even be obd2 but I am not sure of that)

the 94-96 integra ls rocked the b18b1 that came w/ 142/127 (obdI). the 97-up came w/ 140/127 (switched to obdII, but was still the b18b1).

the motor CAN take up to 12 PSI on stock internals, but as always, the more u build the motor, the safer u'll be.

Almost. The 96 ls is the first to sport the OBDII system

the only diffrence between the b18b of 91-93 integras vs the others is, the fuel rail is bigger, along with the intake manifold, and the throttle body. Block stays the same. head is diffrent too.
94-96 integras come obd 1. that means thorottle body on 94-96 is diffrent. 98+ have obd 2. that means 2 o2 sensors, even more sensore, same parts other than the throttle body, and the intake manifold has more sensores as well.
