is the B20 built for boost or N/A? Because if it's N/A then can't just throw a turbo on it. But otherwise it doesn't sound like a bad deal if the cars are in similar condition. It's really what they cars are worth to you, not to everyone else. If the Civic fits your goals better and it's not in worse shape then your car, then go for it...

The Si will always be worth more

your integra even swapped is still an LS

I love Tegs, I traded an LS swapped EJ8 for my Teg and have never regretted it. It handles better, drives smoother, and looks better. Its all personal preference though.

I don't see what can justify this. They are both cars originating from honda. They both have the same capabilities as any other honda, in which you can pretty much swap anything in the engine bay if not most of the car. Yes the looks are different, but i would go for performance over looks any day, and besides civics can go a long way in every aspect of aesthetics. They are a little run down at times I admit but they can still look aggresive especially when all the parts that you can want or need is virtually accesible in every way. I'm not saying that tegs are the worst, ofcourse not, I wouldn't own a DC2 it that was true, simply saying that civics are just equally capable of being sick *** rides. OP, I personally would go for the turbo build with the civic and kill everyones DD teg on here just make sure that you build it the right way, without cheaping out on important things. GL

This is true, but I would never trade a DC for an EM. I would have to be raining cats and dogs fro that to happen. EM interior is wack, and exterior...its ugly in my opinion.

Why you would trade a Integra with a b18c TYpe R Engine, for a Civic SI with a F*cking unreliable b20, and boost it blows my mind...... I'd probably take a mint SI over my Integra, but certainly not if I had that engine sitting in my car. Hideous.

Too many dc tegs around. I'd say you should trade. 99/00 SI's are pretty nice and harder to find.
