Possible Engine Swap.....
I'm currently driving a '95 Integra RS sedan. I have a couple MODs done with the car. Just a CAI and exhaust done. I was planning on selling the car next spring and looking into a later model Integra, maybe a GSR. The car has 229K but the body and interior is in superb condition. The engine is still running strong but it's just not up to par now with what I want. It's not powerful enough.
I'm considering that maybe instead of putting my money into buying a new car that I may just do an engine swap. At first I was thinking a GSR engine as this was the car I was thinking of purchasing. My understanding is (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that a GSR stock puts out 170hp and a JDM GSR pusts out 180hp. Regardless I then got into the thought of putting in a h22a. The idea of a 200hp stock engine with nice potential under the hood was pretty exciting although I've read that this can cause big problems with understeer. Although the power from a h22a in my integ sounds nice I do not want to comprimise handling. I'm leaning towards a GSR as it seems to be a very convienent engine to swap in with potential to output a lot of power although it looks to be one of the more expensive swap ins.
I'd just like to hear some suggestions, comments, and ideas. Thanks
