Why would you buy parts for a motor you're going to swap out in a year? That makes no sense

Pulley kits have historically done very little for Honda motors and cam gears aren't necessary without aftermarket cams and even so they shouldn't be messed with off of the dyno.

i agree with what was written above man save up for your swap then you can buy more parts to go with your swap..... dont waste the money on parts you wont be using in a year

... any money you spend on the motor you're gonna pull is a waste of money. Either save and get the swap sooner, or buy parts for the motor you're gonna swap in.

Suspension would be an ideal next step IMO.

why would you save for a swap for an LS integra? thats a whole lot of money spent for just a moderate horsepower gain. my advice to you is go get a b16 head and do an LS vtec conversion. that will give you the most bang for your buck.
