the original type

 

Find a G1 integra (86-89), and swap over the drivetrain, and most of the suspension.
DOHC 1.6L, bigger brakes, and rear disc.

 

well i should have said except the original one!! lol something not with a carb is what im lookin for! i want some good ole fashion fuel injection!

 

its lookin like a good idea to pawn this car onto someone else

 

Just drop a junk yard HF engine back in it, super easy...

it honestly depends on your skills of working on a car. if you really want fuel injection, you'll need to add all the wires, fuel lines, new pump, DO the motor install and such. not really for beginners.

 

what kind of swaps have you done? whats the time frame? whats the budget? my buddy had a b16 in his 86' crx, with hasport mounts though...little freaker was fast at 10psi...

 

IMO, an Si longblock and trans with some dual sidedraft carbs will be the easiest to do an provide a great deal of thrust in that light shell.
