I have a 98 intgra ls with 100k on the motor and trans. the downside to my car is it is an automatic. i have a cold air intake, comptech headers, carsosund cat, ngk wires, denso plugs, rsr exhaust on the car already and want more power. i was thinkin if doin a turbo set up or going ls vtec but from what i hear my trans wont be able to hold either of these. any other mods i can think of wont give me the power that i want. so now im thinkin of waiting a bit and dropping a gsr manual trans and motor in and leaving it at that. i plan on doin the all the work myself. i have done research on going from an auto to manual and some say its hard and some say its a piece of cake. if u have done this let me know. I have also heard that sometimes the manual trans just doesnt like going into an auto car. to me it seems if you change all the necessary electronics it should be fine but im not sure. finally let me know how much you think this will cost me to do all of this including parts.

 

anyone?

 

I think you should just get the GSR motor. It will make more power overall. You still have to do a little bit of work to get the motor in since your car came with an automatic tranny. I believe the mounts are different on it.
