You can get a d16a1 swap from an 88-89 integra and it bolts in,,Adds power and is dual cam..Can be for real cheap and since you have mechanical help there's no labor cost..

I mean you could keep the stock motor and do intake,header, and exhaust but the gains will be minimal..

Turbo with carbs is not so simple.

best way to go is D16A1 integra 1st gen motor, but if you really want options sell it get a 2nd gen
