I believe HKS made a kit for these, you might find one on the bay. However a ZC swap might be a better alternative for them.

I can say it is possible to do. I had a friend that had one in his CRX. It was tight but it was in there.

HKS and Mugen had those kits back in the day, now you will most likely have to fabricate one yourself.

d16a1 from a pre 89? integra drops straight in.

if the customer doesnt wanna stop u can prolly still do it. the si is fuel injected so thats a good start. i dont know if it uses the same injection from the 88-91 models which i know most about. if you could use the injectors from newer models then you could put in some 450cc injectors and figure out some kind of management (VAFC at least). or you could just try to jack up the fuel pressure and get a new pump. either way it prolly wont run good out of boost. i converted my 91 to obd1 and used uberdata but i dont know how realistic that is for you. hope that makes sense.

since that car uses a rather prmitive fuel only ECU you can get away using an FMU and an MSD BTM will work fine
