1990 integra? engine swap

[malady]

i'm thinking about getting a 1990 integra with high miles and switching the engine i want a gsr or vtech i'm also thinking turbo what's my best bet?

[LSfrankenstein]

gsr has vtec already. Get an H23 from a prelude si and swap the head from an H22 and make a very pretty H23 FRANKENSTEIN!! Then get some propane and hook it up to ur intake. Its cool to purge propane on people sittin next to u at stop lights.

[rak3]

wow dont use propane on any engine this guy is a moron, he has said that taking off the filter on an air intake is a good idea too. Get the gsr engine and buy a turbo for it. Personally that is the best way to spend your money.

[LSfrankenstein]

i only say taking off the air filter is a good idea if u hook it up to a sand bucket so it will polish out ur entire engine. otherwise leave on your filter. im not sure if the sand will work tho i dont see why not!

[rak3]

what kind of air intake do you have man

[LSfrankenstein]

haha im gonna make my own intake in shop i welded 3 AEM CAI together with highflow filters and they come out of my engine bay and affix to the top of my car kinda like snorkles. summer use only.

[rak3]

so your intake comes out of the bay and where does it go, jw can you post a picture of your engine because i want to see your intake manifold on backward and the air intake welded together thar looks like a snorkle coming out of the engine bay

[LSfrankenstein]

i havn't made it yet, prolly in the spring cuz its gonna start to rain. i kno it will look absurd but it will work good

[rak3]

where do live that it doesnt rain all year. Please everybody hear wants to see your car so post some pics of it soon

[LSfrankenstein]

for the best bang for ur buck, the greddy kit is great although not the best and its 50 state legal too. the whole kit cost about $2,600.00, alot more affordable than an engine swap. one thing u should keep in mind is how many miles ur integ has. definately get a leak and compression test to see if ur motor can handle the boost, if doesn't, either rebuild the motor or get a swap, b18a1/b1 is fine, or the the ba18c1 if u want vtec, but that is gonna cost u extra.

[malady]

what about the b18c? which gsr engines don't fit in to the 90
