engine swapping and vtec conversion
what modifications do i need to have done on an '91 acura integra. I want to swap my gs engine with a ITR engine. What engines are recommended and what are the legal paper work, and formalities that must be adhered to.
also is it possible to convert my engine b18a1 from my '91 acura integra to a vtec type engine?

First off, a Type R engine is a huge waste of money. The GSR is usually about 1 grand less. If you're looking to go Forced Induction, such as Turbo, don't get the Type R. It's a great All-Motor engine but going All-Motor takes alot of money.
For a GSR swap, you're looking at about 5 grand, give or take a few hundred, for parts and labor.
As for LS/Vtec, there is much debate. Honestly if you're looking for a dependable daily driver, I would go with the GSR swap. LS/Vtec's can be very tricky and there are tons of ways of actually doing it, or what it means. Plus you have an old engine and LS/Vtec isn't the best choice.
I'd go with the GSR. You'll have Vtec then. You're looking at high 14's with it swapped into a 2nd gen hatchback. :naughty:

and like luderage said it might be more economical to just do a gsr swap and spend what you have left on upgrades. thats what i would do. good luck:thumbup:
