You'd probably be better off finding webbers and a cam. There's a lot you'd have to swap in, especially harness, ECU and all the sensors.

Are you looking for looks or performance with the wheels?

If you were to decide to auto-x it, it seems like these perform better with the stock 13's.

But then again, I haven't auto-x'd one of these in like 4 years.

If you were to swap anything in, that AWD block will be highly sough after. It's the only block that the Acura Integra Transmission bolts up to, giving you an LSD.

Also, swapping a D16a1 would also lend you to keeping your AWD drivetrain.

I know I could find all that at the local pick-a-part. Don't know how available parts are near your location though.
