Default Is it worth it?

I have a 95 acura integra LS and its slow. I want to swap a b18c5 into my car but dont know if its worth it. i dont want to turbo it because theres all kinds of problems that you have to check. So is it worth it to buy a b18c5 and put it in my integra?

why are you so worried to turbo it? I personally think doing a swap would be much more complicated and would have many more problems that you might run into. But this is not the question...if you really felt that you would achieve greater power out of it, then hell go for it.

I agree that a turbo would be more worth it than a Hype-r engine.

havent you answered your own question?

why a B18C5?

would a GSR do the trick to satisfy your need for more power???
