it depends..do you have a 90-91 b18a or 92-93 b18a..if you got a 92-93 you're wasting your time but if 90-91 then you'll add some hp,,very very minimal gain though..

im not sure exactly but its very minimal..maybe 3-5whp if you're lucky? and alittle high rev range..

and just look at factory specs..90-91 makes 130hp and 92-93 makes 140hp and thats from different cams,intake manifold,and obd1 setup..and only 10hp comes out of it..

If you B18A is from the 90-91, then you'll gain around 10hp I believe. But if your engine is the B18A from the 92-93 Integra, then you'll gain around 2hp. Overall, you would end up wif the same hp no matter which engine you have.

Seriously it isn't worth it you aren't going to gain 10hp like someone said the difference between the B18a B18a1 and B18b is mostly in the tuning yea the B18b cam is a little more agressive viv little look up and compair the specs...the intake mani is a little better for the B18b's also the cam isn't going to be making any noticable difference and BS for every little bit counts, if you want to swap cams swap with some aftermarket cams then you will see a difference...seriously even if they are fre you are wasting time even putting the labor into them...but do what you want just my opinion
