ok guys . wondering whats the best bang fer buck .i currently own a 2000 integra gs .i have a b18b (non veetech /dohc motor) in my car right now . i got the usual bolt ons , i/h/e/ . i also have another b18b from my parts car (a 94 rs ).i was thinking about boring out 60 over , forged pistons , cam gears , porting etc . but now im thinking of possibly going ls vtech if i can find the proper head gsr/typer/b16a.....my first question is this .....what type of hp numbers might i expect by going this route ? would the three type heads listed above carry different hp numbers ? would a ls vtech put me in the same class as a gsr? what is the possible price i might be into for heads of this nature?


2 / am i better off going complete jdm engine swap ? possibly a b18c/b18c5/b16a/h22a?? would these engines fit my car easily or would it be cause fer fitting concern?







3/just say fuck the first two options and go turbo on what i already have [after going low compression of course]?? what are possible hp numbers on that application?

any advice would be greatly appriciated .any good advice for a tuner just starting out?

I say fuck and go turbo. you dont need low compression, thats a common myth. As long as you get a good tune then higher compression will be fine. I currently run 9.5:1 on my GSR turbo.

Cant really say about HP because there are too many variables (i.e. turbo size, injector size, tune, bore size, etc) but you can probably get 250WHP with a good tune.
