Well, Ive been reading around this forum for some time now and I just recently bought a 1996 Integra Coupe, LS....It has 122k miles on it....It will be a daily driver but, I also want to have some bragging rights...I was thinking about either a b18c swap from a GSR...or I have also been reading about rebuilding and LS/Vtec conversions...I want a reliable engine that will have alittle power....mid 200 HP range, Soooo should I swap it....rebuild it, or turbo it...I am willing to spend about 3k...I also want this engine to last me awhile.....Thanks in advance...

I would go turbo.

DIY turbo kit for under $1500 and a good tune for like 5-7 psi, and wuala. You have yourseflf a nice dd with power....


Good Luck!

I would love to turbo this car...but with 122k+ miles on it I am wondering if I should rebuild or replace the internals before investing on a turbo

i would rebuild the bottom end on it prolly cost you about 1500 to doit and then you can find a turbo kit for another 1500 and then you could push about 12 psi if you got the block sleaved
