Well you have a 92 Integra, but what model is it? The only models that come with VTEC are the GS-R. If it has VTEC, the valve cover should say so. You can also check the code on the block, but someone could have very well changed the head from the stock one. Post up some pics.

theres a lil more than oil lines........( wiring, ecu, tuning,ect ) As for the manual conversion.....oh boy! Thats a project. You might wanna think about selling that and buying a stick instead of converting. Do a search. Im sure you will find topics on this as well as the ls/vtec head conversion as well.

For the pix....upload them on photobucket.com or some image hosting site and there will be 3 different links to choose from. Just copy and paste the [img] one.

if its an auto.... definately NON vtec.

from the pics, you have non painted moldings, so i doubt its a GSR.


if it had vt@c, you would definately feel it, yo!

Some helpful searches would be LSVTEC, there is some machining work required in the process, If I were you, I'd look for a 5-Speed LS around somewhere.

as long as you know/have someone who knows what they are doing, an auto-&gt;manual conversion isnt that hard. you need the pedal assembly, the clutch master/slave cylinder, shift linkage and of course the tranny itself. iirc, even auto cars have the spot for the master cylinder, it just has a little plate spot welded over it

im in the same boat as you with a 93 teg, im looking at an auto/manual swap,

for that you need wayy more than just the tranny, pedal, shifter linkage, and master cylander or cable depending on the year of the tranny

you need an ecu, motor mounts, and i believe a wiring harness and maybe new guages because of the Tach, and if not the tach the P-R-N-D-D3-2
