Although the motor you have is a beauty,i would sell that and work towards a bigger,nicer motor,like say the b18c5,comes frim the integra type r,would be much nicer,faster,funner...although more work....will definatly pay off in the end,the b18c5 has around 195 horsepower..........but i read that u dont want vtech...for your motor you wont need to much...should be an easy drop in...if u need any help,ask my buddy lxnder...hes a genious...

the integra type are motor is probalby one of the best engines out there, but unfortunetly too exspensive... otherwise i think all of us would be trying to put them in... i know i would be

I Have the same thing except i have bull frog head on mine, but for the best results dont use ur stock tranny, only if you just have too. Try an use the zc tranny or a si tranny. Make sure everything is Jspec. (JAPAN) U can use ur stock axels. but get all the smaller things with the motor like the manifold, cables and sensors, not sure if you can but i couldnt use my stock ones. thats all for now.
