a B16A inside of a Integra is not going to cut it, if you want to be fast
They are torque-less motors and only really good in lighter cars

I don't know abour where you live but around me I know that you can find a good running GSR swap for ~$1800. Or you can look for a newer less mileage LS block and then put a VTEC head on that for your LS/VTEC and would make it easy to work on because you would still have your other LS to keep driving on while building.

I would spend the 2 grand on a turbo setup for the LS. Replacing a ls with a gsr if the ls is still running to me isn't worth the time or the money.
