Son's 92 Integra with auto and I4 1.8 liter. What's the best upgrade?
Kid want's to fly for Uncle Sam but in the meantime is trying to upgrade his Integra. Whats doable for an 17 year old with moderate mechanical ability a thousand or two to spend on the transplant?

B20B/Z CRV block with a YS1 GSR cable tranny would be a nice setup in that car. Of course you could always build an LSVTEC with the current motor also, but the main area to focus on is to switch to a manual

I'd say the same thing. Although I'd probably do a B18C GSR motor (DOHC VTEC). Or get a VTEC head and throw that onto the stock motor for LS/VTEC.

Yup, best bet for some good power in a 90-93 Integra is a built B-series VTEC motor. Otherwise, with a turbo in there you have to sacrafice AC (if you don't make custom IC piping) and is recommended to get a smaller radiator and do some hacking to the crossmember to make everything fit. I have a turbo in my 91 Integra and still have my AC and PS and it's a very tight fit in there..... very tight. The DA chassis engine bays just have no room to play with so sticking with a good all motor setup is the best bet.
