I recent purchased an tegra with a b18b non-vtec. All i have as of now is a CAI. I want to get at least 200 hp out of it, but without having to go to forced induction. I was thinking of doing an engine swap with a h22 but the engine i have now is running strong and only has 70k on it. What can i do to reach my goal? Thank you in advance for posting a reply.

I would make it a b20/vtec that way you will have about 210 hp at the flywheel and you will have minimal downtime.

take a hard look at turbo magazine's "project 200 integra" they started out with an lsvtec, and went from there. it will take quite a bit of work unless you decide to go trubo. they can be a hassle, but your engine is perfect for it. then again, i would stay NA if possible.

I plan on using my integra for daily driving for at least four more years and i know nothing about turbo or know anyone who has one. im afraid that if i put a turbo on my car that it would screw up the engine overtime.

it all depends on how much you want to spend. your engine is perfect for doing an ls/vtec conversion. My advice to you is to get yourself a b16a head, get it polished, get yourself a set of type r cams, sprockets, underdrive pullies, i/e/h , and most importantly a good tuner and you will smoke type r's. Ive read of an engine buildup with an ls bottom end and a 16a head and it made nearly 180 hp at the wheels! and it didnt have the cams which add about 10-15 hp. This setup will bring you over the 200 mark. If you really want to burn up the road you need to do some bottom end work. hope that helps

there is a kit that makes this conversion real easy. It goes for around 200 bucks, i forget the name though. You need to feed the vtec with oil. Another good mod would be investing in some 310 cc injectors and an aem fuel pump.

Has anyone just added aem fuel pump and 310cc injectors? if so how much HP or torque does it add? and is it safe for the engine? (b18b)

If you're going to keep the stock block and head, you won't reach 200hp. Period. I have 185 stock, and I have vtec. If I were to do a full n/a build with higher comp pistons, cams, blah blah blah I would be lucky to see 220-230hp.

Well why use a b16 head? what is the difference between a b16 head and a b18?

If you use a B16 vtec head you will gain the best of both worlds by having low-end torque, and high-end vtec powa, but they're a headache and relatively unreliable. Turbo your shit, it will be cheaper and you'll have more power.

i agree... a b18b is perfect for turbo, piss on the ls/vtec! i bet you could even get a low boost turbo set up for cheaper than an ls/vtec conversion

yeha, my first voe is for a turbo kit, 3k and you got a pretty damn fast teg, but if you are dead set against it
B16a head
vtec ecu
oil lines
CTR cams
CTR pistons
4-1 headers
intake
exhaust
while you are in there might as well get a new clutch(you got 70k on it now and even though it is probably still good for a while, the new power will wear it out quicker and you dont wanna have to do it again soon.)
and maybe a light fly, no more used to turn the wheels and not a 20lb fly.
and a better fuel pump and larger injectors wont do anything for you, of course they are safe though, more fuel is never unsafe, well at least right now I cant think of a scenario where it would harm anything.
and wven with that engine you should be fine with stock ignition and fuel, I read in honda tuning I think that stock injectors will support up to 240 at the wheels, and they had a vortech SI pushing over 400 WHP off of 310's.

stock b16a injectors are good up to 200 hp at the wheels. I agree that a turbo setup is good for your motor setup and will give you more bang for your buck hp. Im not a fan of turbo setups though.
