I have a 1992 integra gsr. i got the for as a DD, but now the motor need new rings. I really want to keep the motor stock cause there are not alot 1.7 liters out there, but somehow i was thinking of doing ls/b20 vtec cause of tq but keeping stock. im not looking to dump $$$ cause this is my DD. I want to keep the motor original but.... well you guys know.

 

bump...... nobody...

 

If your looking to spend only three figures then just pick up a low mileage LS engine, it will probably be faster than your 1.7.

Any other way (B20/LS vtec, replacing the rings... etc.) will cost you more than $$$. and Hybrids are NOT daily drivers with out a lot of cash in them.

 

see that the thing, i have a boosted lsvtec too. before i rebuilt the bottomend, i daily drive my hatchback almost 400mi a week with no problem for years. but i might just replace the rings in the motor

 

Well if you know what your doing (sorry I assume people usually don't), you should drop some new rings in there. b17 are are rare enough to make it worth it.

 

that's ok... i was thinking about it all day yesterday and today, and i just go ahead and replace the rings, b17 are rare and im going keep it like that. thanks...

 

yea, if you know what you're doing, just go ahead and replace it. no need doing anything else but get it running properly for a dd.
