Default can you build a TR with a TS motor?...or at least come close to it...???

well i wanted to do the "H", "INTEGRA", and "TYPE R" badges but i dont wanna be a ricer and just put the TR badge and not have an actual TR...

i dont want to do the swap for a K20A cz i dont really think its that worth putting down 5600+ for just a 19-20hp gain from what i have already...

so i was wondering what do i SPECIFICALLY need to change internally in order for my current K20z1 to be up to par, or close to, with a K20A...

so far, from what i've read, i need to change my cams, cam gears, valve springs, and retainers...(correct me if im wrong...?)...so i was wondering what else am i specifically missing from that list? and do they have a specific brand to those parts?

i know that regardless of any changes internally i know that itll never be a REAL TR...i just dont wanna look stupid and have the "TYPE R" badge and not have anything to back it up, at least its something...if anything i was thinking of putting the "TYPE S" badge, but i dont want to just give up on this idea...

"so please HONDATECH, pimp my ride"--get it? "pimp my ride" on mtv except its hondatech

Save the money and get IPS cams or SKUNK even, oh and just upgrade to s2k valve springs and your good (only needed for intakes, i believe exhausts are the same or vice versa)

Dont waste it on ITR
